😂 What made me lol -
- I got to chat with Danny and Maura Vega on their podcast "Fat Fueled Family." I lol'd at their description of the episode, so I'll just paste it here:
"This week’s guest grew up eating pretty much the opposite of a carnivore diet. He enjoyed all the cheesy waffles and ice cream his heart desired until he made a decision to dive into health and fitness, and he’s been following that obsession for over 20 years. He’s done several really cool experiments on himself, and he does a MUCH better job of documenting them than I do. Currently, he walks around at single-digit body fat year-round, he’s a practicing dentist with a focus on sleep
disorders, and he’s putting out extremely high-quality content on Carnivore diets, building muscle, sleep, and related health topics. I said it on the Ketogenic athlete and I’ll say it again. I know the size of your platform isn’t everything, but with the quality of content he’s putting out, this man should have a million followers. We have him with us today, and we’re really pumped to start this conversation. Welcome to the show, Kevin Stock."

🔀 What number are you (1 or 2?) -
- This is on one of my favorite times of the year. I'm in the thick of my New Years planning (more on these plans soon...). But I keep going back-and-forth on whether to send out special content via text message. It tends to be quite pricey, but it would allow me to connect with you on a more personal level. I would love to know if you are a 1 or 2.
- Here's a 1-click question - are you a #1 or #2?

✏ What to unlearn -
- Paul Graham is one of my favorite writers / thinkers. After not publishing anything since September 2017, he has since written 3 essays in the last month. While his writings are mainly geared towards startups and entrepreneurs, I tend to think his theses are applicable more broadly, as demonstrated in his latest article on important lessons to unlearn.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"Training is the opposite of hoping."

💘What happens when love meets a hedge fund analyst -
- I love when finance guys analyze love. In this "asset management" review of love, the hedge fund analysts found that most relationships begin with apps (3 out 4). The Good: "transaction costs" approximates $0. Accepting / rejecting applications (I mean potential dates/mates) has never been easier. The Bad: this transaction ease
with lack of community ties has led to a "ghosting" phenomenon. Potential mates simply disappear. You can now skip the awkward "it's me, not you" altogether.

✍ How to write better emails -
- I write a lot of emails. You probably do too. So learning how to write better emails is something I'm always interested in.
- So how did I do?
- Emphasize text with bold and underlined font ✔
- Use specific dates ✔
- Use Links for references ✔
- hyperlinks to articles / content
- Structure Long Messages (into categories) ✔
- 7 categories (just like every week :)
- Be specific of what you request from whom ✔
- "are you a 1 or 2" simple response form
- Post Scriptum ✔

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