Its your move.

[Ihtesham Ali @ihteshamali]

A MIT professor taught the same lecture every January for 40 years, and every single time it was standing room only.

I watched it at 2am and it completely rewired how I think about communication.

His name was Patrick Winston. The lecture is called "How to Speak."

His opening line hit like a truck: your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas in that order.

Not your GPA. Not your pedigree. Not your IQ. How you speak is what separates people who get heard from people who get ignored.

Here's the framework he drilled into MIT students for four decades.

He said never start with a joke. Start by telling people exactly what they're going to learn. Prime the pump before you pour anything in. He called it the "empowerment promise" give people a reason to stay in their seats within the first 60 seconds.

Then he broke down the 5S rule for making ideas stick: Symbol, Slogan, Surprise, Salient, and Story. Every idea worth remembering hits at least three of these.

The part that floored me was his "near miss" technique. Don't just show what's right show what almost looks right but isn't. That contrast is when the brain actually locks something in permanently.

His final rule before any big talk: end with a contribution, not a summary. Don't recap what you said. Tell people what you gave them that they didn't have before they walked in.

I've used this framework in pitches, interviews, and presentations ever since watching it, and the results are not subtle.

Patrick Winston passed away in 2019, but this lecture is still free on MIT OpenCourseWare. One hour, watched by millions, and it costs absolutely nothing.

The most important class MIT ever put on the internet isn't about code or math. It's about how to make people actually listen to you.

Another reason the value of tin is so high is because it’s hard to find in concentrated deposits and it tends to come with complex, costly extraction and refining processes.

[Mining.com.au @miningcomau]

🧩 #Tin powers tech... but has a PR problem.

🔌 50% of tin goes into electronics
🚘 #EVs need 3x more tin than petrol cars
📉 Supply is disrupted, demand is soaring
So why does no one talk about it?

BTW, that Namaste/Lifeist interview has been seen by 10k people in the last ten days. One of the biggest responses to a video we've put out in some time.
Kudos to Meni Morem for taking the hard questions, and still being there for long time shareholders. Respect.

Remember back when I used to pound the everloving crap out of weedco Namaste Technologies?
Well I haven't thought about them in years. Eventually they became Lifeist Wellness $LFST.V and the dude left holding the reins is still in there swinging.
Respect.
