🎥 What movie I watched:
- Robb Wolf and Diana Rogers have a new movie called Sacred Cow that you can watch for free today. They do a tremendous job showing how regenerative animal agriculture isn't only not bad for the environment, but it is the way to create healthy soil and build ecosystems. It is the sustainable solution for the earth and for our food. I do wish they discussed more on the criticality of meat in the diet,
but perhaps in their next documentary!

🔑 What are the 6 keys to changing someone's mind:
- I've never been big on trying to change anybody's mind. The title of my website is "Notes to Self" specifically for this reason. Open to anyone to browse, but the writing isn't there to convince anyone of anything. But I think, deep down, most people know you can't change people's minds. People have to willfully do that themselves. However, there are 6 keys to inviting someone to opening their mind to new ideas and perspectives.
- Be a partner, not an adversary
- Use Rapoport’s rules
- Facts are the enemy
- Use the “Unread Library Effect”
- Use scales
- Use disconfirmation
"...they're going to slowly convince themselves."

🌏 What everyone on the planet wants:
- Randall Stutman, a leadership researcher, knows people are motivated by different things. But says there's one universal thing that we all want, and leaders can use it to motivate and inspire:
"Here’s something that everybody on the planet wants.
They want the people that they respect, that they admire, that they look up to, they want them rooting for them. They want them clapping, cheering for their ball to go in. What that really means is they want them to say and prove that they’re a fan ("fanness"). That they would do anything for them to succeed. And that’s the universal, and there’s no exception to it."

💃 Has this ever happened in the history of the world:
- 18 months ago no one outside her family and friends knew who she was. Now Charli D'Amelio is one of the most famous people in the world with over 100M followers on TikTok. Just 18 months. I was trying to figure out, in the history of the world, has anyone ever come close to gaining such fame in such a short amount of time? I like to highlight
accomplishments like this because it helps squash "limiting beliefs" and create wonder about what's possible. If you were to tell a 16 year old girl (or anyone else!) she could amass 100M fans in 18 months just doing her thing (dancing), she (and everyone else) would have said "that's impossible."

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:
"If one asked for permission there was a 50% chance it would be refused. If one just got on with it, 19 times out of 20 nothing was said."
– Trevor Kletz, pioneer in chemical engineering
In response to how he accomplished so much in his career.
