⌚ What was perfect timing -
- This took almost a year. Back and forths, rescheduling, follow-ups, delays. But it is one of my favorite podcasts I've been on. It released with flawless timing to fit the theme of this Saturday 7. In it we talk about health, fitness, eating just meat, but also much more. If you checkout one thing this weekend, I'd recommend the first 5 minutes of this podcast.

➗ What separates the successful from the rest -
- One of the big lessons I've learned in life, demonstrated by Keto Neo (who hosted me in the above podcast), is the power of persistence. Most people fail because they give up after one call, one message, one door shut in their face. What the most successful people know and do, what separates them from everyone else, is they follow-up.

🗣 What is hard to say -
- I told Keto Neo "no" many times. The skill to persists ranks right next to the skill to say no. Accomplishing goals means staying focused, and staying focused means saying no. But it's hard to say no. Here's an amazing template for saying
no.

📚 What forced me to buy books -
- Last week I summarized decades of self-help / personal development reading into a simple analogy: put on a new suit. This is the "how" to create change. In a podcast I listened to this week, Dr. Joe Dispenza explains "why" this works. I've
known about Dr. Dispenza for quite some time but haven't read any of his books. After listening to this podcast, I ordered all of them.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”
-Steve Jobs

📲 What's a good reminder -
- I got frustrated with someone this week. A simple image on instagram was a great reminder. Everyone is fighting a battle, doing the best they can, and no one can see their full story. Be kind. Give them the benefit of the doubt.
|
💳 What it costs -
- It takes diligence to persist. It takes strength to say no. It takes discomfort to put on and wear a new suit. It can be scary, like asking out your crush. But beware if you are asking them out in New York vs South Dakota :)

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