Memorial Day weekend is different for everyone depending on if they lost of loved one from military service.

Take a moment to pray for those that have lost loved ones, and all people in the military currently serving.

@Actual1Murf Endless chasing, and not enjoying equals lack of fulfillment in the end.

This rule extends to more than CEOs. As senior management at an over 200 person company, I walked the floor every morning through all departments. This was intel gathering for myself, and relationships building.

As a CEO/Operator coach, I’ve encouraged them to walk the floor. It’s amazing how many senior managers stay confident to their office, and wonder why they are disconnected from their teams + company.

Walk the floor:

1. Look
2. Ask questions
3. Build relationship

The outcome is:

1. Knowing
2. Being informed
3. Reputation building
4. Being connected

Ayman, as always. Solid advice. Thank you for sharing.

Love you all

@aymanalabdul Did my first resume at the age of 40. Hadn’t applied for a job since I was 21 because I would get job offers. I couldn’t believe I had never filled one out, but that I had reviewed several. Never needed one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@thegarybrecka Good advice for those of us that sit at a desk

Many are still in the dark as to the capability of AI. Everything is shifting rapidly, and no matter who you are, you’re behind.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Where will AI be in 1, 2 or 3 years?

@MarindaVannoy1 Not going to gas stations or paying attention to how much it is to fuel up is a massive life hack.

AI Summary of the Video

Summary of Austin Police News Conference (May 17, 2026)

Austin officials — Mayor Kirk Watson, Police Chief Lisa Davis, and EMS Chief Rob Luckitt — held a press conference on a chaotic crime spree involving two teenagers (15 and 17) now in custody, with a possible third suspect still sought.

Key Details
•Victims: Four people shot (one critically, now stabilized; three with non-life-threatening injuries). No deaths.
•Scope: ~20 service calls across south and east Austin from May 16 afternoon into May 17. Suspects stole multiple vehicles, committed robberies, and fired randomly — including at two fire stations, apartment buildings, and a drive-by outside a store.
•Response: Multi-agency effort with APD command center, tactical units, helicopter, K9, and door-to-door checks. Strong coordination with Fire, EMS, DPS, and others.

Officials’ Comments

Mayor Watson thanked first responders, Governor Abbott, and the vigilant public. Chief Davis described it as “senseless violence” and asked for tips (512-974-5177 or Crime Stoppers). EMS highlighted tactical paramedic support.

The incidents appear random with no clear motive yet. The briefing emphasized community cooperation and ongoing investigation. The event was contained quickly through coordinated public safety efforts.

Claude and ChatGPT used together is a powerful combo.

Use them together by developing the strategy for your project, and have Claude build the artifact you want.

Copy and paste responses to each AI for collaboration. Amazing combo.

AI has positively affected every area of my life, and a day doesn’t go by where I don’t rely on it.

The future is now, and some are being left behind.

[Mike Marugg @MikeMarugg]

Most people using AI are playing the wrong game.

Quick email, summarize a document, answer a question. Useful, but not the game.

Recently I built a full package from scratch. Compensation structure with incentive tiers, milestone unlocks, and clawbacks, a job description aligned with the comp, financial projections, an offer letter, a full implementation plan. Every document cross-referenced against every other. All of it accurate, all of it aligned.

A coaching client asked me about building something similar for one of his employees. He had no idea I’d just finished it.

I sanitized my templates, built a prompt that walked him through every question Claude needed to customize the plan for his company and his employee, and sent it to him. He had the output in a few hours.

The hard part is the thinking. Once that’s captured, every handoff after that is almost free.

If you’re not using AI, you’re behind. If you are, you’re still behind.
