🤼 What is putting health and wealth at odds -
- I rarely post on LinkedIn but I did last week. There was a trending article on Beyond Meat's stock price soaring nearly 1000%, and it compelled me to look at this health / wealth conundrum.

👨🌾 What investment I'm all for -
- While I don't think investing in Beyond Meat is a great decision, I do think investing in farmers and their way of business is important. Farmers embody unique ethics that we can all apply to our lives and businesses. They have a duty of care for the land, for the people who
work it, and those nourished by it.

📙 What I'm reading-
- Will Durant, one of the most celebrated historians in American history, and his wife Ariel wrote "The Lessons of History." It's a 100 centuries in 100 pages. It is pound for pound (page for page) one of the most knowledge dense books I've ever read.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"Always be skeptical when someone says - 'You NEED to do X'"
|
✂ What's being cut and divided -
- The US Fed cut interest rates a couple weeks ago. It was the first time since the 2008 financial crisis. When central banks cut rates and print more money it inflates the price of assets. The rich own assets. But for those who don't own assets, they effectively get poorer. The divide gets larger. An asset immune from this manipulation is bitcoin. And it happens to be the best performing asset in the last 10 years.

🎩 What I finally deleted -
- I saved The Magic Story (pdf) to my computer months ago. So long ago that I can't remember where I found or why I saved it. For some reason I wouldn't let myself delete it until I read it. Well I finally read it. And there is some magic in it.

It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!

P.S. What got overwhelmed -
- If you tuned in to last week's Saturday 7, I had an entrepreneurship theme run throughout the newsletter, and talked about the NED Device that I developed for my sleep/snoring patients. And I wanted to say that while this is 100% not a newsletter that sells stuff, I want to say thank you to all those who checked out NED last week - you all have successfully overwhelmed the product team with
work!
