• I couldn't be more ready to leave the doldrums of winter. It seems the weather is finally turning. And it was almost exactly 1 year ago (when the weather was also turning) that I put up a fat loss pdf and video series detailing how I was going to lean out for the summer. I'm starting this same "carnivore cut" next week — if you want to join me this pdf and these videos are the places to start.

• I spent time this week thinking about the difference between gifts vs choices. "Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice." And I couldn't help but see its close relation to floating vs. swimming. Playing it safe is floating, swashbuckling is swimming. We are what we choose.

📽 What about a music video -

• For "Song #2" in my 2020 Challenge I had a hard time deciding whether to release a bad music video or just a simple lyric video. So I created both. But I opted to post up the simple lyric video publicly on youtube while keeping the "official" (bad) music video unreleased (I posted it up in the VIP area on my website; password = 2020). I'm not sure what to do moving forward, and would love to hear thoughts/opinions on this! 

• Financial markets suffered their worst week since the 2008 financial crisis — all 3 major indexes fell over 10%. This extreme volatility has me thinking even more about investment strategy in large market downturns. Linked are my favorite 2 financial articles of the week which discuss how to take advantage / protect yourself in market downturns.
