At 50 the divergence in biological age becomes extreme. Some people are as healthy as a 30 year old. Others look & act 70. What makes the difference? A million little choices you make in your 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s. Make health a habit—your 50 year old self will thank you.

Parenting is hard, everyone knows that. Yesterday I learned that letting go is even harder. There are seasons that you’d like to freeze in time and live in forever—the so-called “prime years”. But despite our best efforts to cling to the past, time marches on. The year my

💍Finding The One Over the years I've received a bunch of DMs like this one. I’ve always been hesitant to write about marriage because anyone who says they have it figured out is a charlatan. I often say there are only 3 types of marriages...🧵

I’ve followed the modular / prefab / factory-built housing space for years — it’s an unmitigated disaster. Companies like this one have raised $100’s of millions but somehow manage to deliver products that are more expensive and lower quality than site built homes. There’s no

9/ Find your happy place (and your tribe). A great life is one you don’t need a vacation from & location is a key factor in that equation. It’s bizarre to me that people are super-deliberate about their choice of life partner but put zero thought into their choice of place.

📢 Hear this: My point here is NOT that we shouldn’t have nice things. It’s that we should only have things that bring us true joy. In today’s highlight reel world it can be hard to discern our true desires from what society tells us they should be.

I get a lot of DMs about this and my advice is always the same: ✍️Take the time to literally write out your desired “end state” lifestyle. What does it look like? WHAT would you do (and avoid doing)? WHO would you be around? WHERE would you be? (Here's my list👇)

It’s important to remember that *all of us* are waging unseen battles of all kinds, both big and small. If yours are small, consider yourself lucky. But assume that others are fighting bigger battles and treat them accordingly. (3/3)

Years ago I worked with a woman who was an exceptional public speaker—she dazzled every time. I asked her to share her secret. Her answer: “I rehearse every speech—no matter how insignificant—word-for-word 10 times.” She simply *put in the reps* and over the years excellence

2) The first rule of crisis communications is to be brutally honest and provide all the details. Vlad should have taken this to the extreme. For example, the *instant* RH realized that they were approaching capital or regulatory limits, he should have communicated like this:

“It goes boys.” This is Lynn Hill. In 1993 she pulled off arguably the greatest achievement in the history of rock climbing—or for that matter, any sport. Lynn was the first person—man or woman—to free climb The Nose on El Capitan, 3000 feet of sheer granite that had… 👇🧵

3) He should have provided updates every 30-60 min, creating a “taking on Wall Street” vibe without ever pointing fingers. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to unite millions of traders and more importantly, public opinion on *both the left and the right* - unprecedented!
