[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

This is one of my favorite speeches of all time…

It always hits me hard:

“You get up every day—you’re entitled to nothing. Nobody owes you nothing. You could have talent, but if you don’t have discipline, and you don’t execute, you don’t focus… What do you get? Nothing. If you’re complacent and not paying attention to detail… What does that get you? Nothing. So nothing is acceptable but your best.”

This is a harsh reality of life:

Talent is meaningless without discipline.
Ambition is worthless without execution.
Focus is the difference between potential and reality.

You’re not entitled to success—it’s earned in the quiet, thankless moments when no one is watching.

The antidote to entitlement is relentless ownership.

Show up fully. Pay attention to the details. Do your best—every single day.

Because in a world where everyone wants the reward, it’s those who refuse to accept anything less than their best who build something worth being proud of.

[Canada Spends @canada_spends]

Canada plans to spend >$2.4B this year on IT services across government to digitally enable government programs.

That's the equivalent of hiring 12,000 Waterloo software engineer graduates at $200K per year.

[Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️ @StephenPunwasi]

🇨🇦’s public safety minister just said less than 1% of 🇺🇸’s fentanyl is from 🇨🇦, and ditto for illegal immigrants.

Here's why that's a whopper of a lie. Warning: Your opinion of 🇨🇦 will irreversibly change.

@unusual_whales Now do Canada

[John Ruffolo @ruffoloj]

Exactly this!!! It is not about the tax per se. It’s the statement he is making. Entrepreneurs matter. We need them to stay in Canadá to build here so we can create the wealth to build the economic pie for everyone to enjoy in Canadá!

@evansammccann Agree

Once you find what works, it’s super easy to just rely on that program or set of programs continuously, but this will eventually run its course.

Eventually I’ve found you’ll run into small overuse injuries and plateaus, so you need to prepare for when you can’t lean on what has worked in the past, and need to switch into a new training modality. I like the follow the Andy Galpin thinking of new training blocks every quarter, with a slightly different goal for each.
