🎓 What I learned from you:
- In last week's Saturday 7 newsletter I discussed an idea I've been thinking about all year. A way to help more people get more high quality meat. This thread discusses what I learned from you.
THANK YOU so much for all the input.

🍕 What you can learn from buffet lines:
- There is a fascinating study on buffet lines. Whatever food is offered 1st in line is taken 75% of the time (even after reversing the food order). And 2/3rds of all food taken come from the 1st 3 trays, no matter how long and how many foods are in the line. The study showed that food choices are determined more by where they are than what
they are. If they wanted to nudge diners towards a healthier meal, all they had to do was rearrange the healthier foods to the front. This study, "Slim by Design," demonstrates the power of environment and optionality, which applies far outside buffet lines.

⚙ What is your personal mission statement (step-by-step guide):
- Something that helped me make the decision to put the "Cloud Cow" idea (as one brilliant reader described it) on hold is because I saw how the idea didn't fit my personal mission. Although I know it is 100% a viable and likely successful business idea, it lacked congruence with the real impact I want to make. It's why I think having clarity on your personal mission statement is so important. It's a guiding light for decision making — especially the big ones.

😲 What got a shocked face:
- When I started my 2020 Challenge of attempting to learn how to make music, I started supporting this musician on Patreon who does song critiques. For the last 5 months I submitted my songs, and for the last 5 months he has been brutally honest (which I love) in letting me know that my songs were terrible and, of course, offered advice on improving. Well I submitted Song #6 last week and with a shocked face he said:
"This is the 1st song that I was like, yes this is a song."

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:
"Science isn't the sum of what scientists think. Had science operated by majority consensus we would still be stuck in the Middle Ages and Einstein would have ended as he started, a patent clerk with fruitless side hobbies."
– Nassim Taleb

↗ What it takes to go big:
- Less than you think. Several weeks ago I shared some examples of remarkable feats done in very short time frames. And I found a great companion list of impressive things accomplished by small teams. I love lists like this because they help smash limiting beliefs.

🤔 What advice I'm taking:

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