1/ Discipline Requires Action: To build self-discipline you need to take action, even if you don’t feel like doing it: “Sometimes you have to be forced to do that which you do not want to do and then it becomes a habit” – Stanley McChrystal

2/ Action, Like Taking $200 Million to Fight Mike Tyson? “Absolutely not, no. There’s no f$cking way.” – Tim Ferriss

3/ Action, Like Holding Your Breath For 17 Minutes? It’s all about your tolerance to CO2 buildup, not lack of oxygen. “If you relax and efficiently keep your oxygen and not make the CO2 build up more extreme, you can actually hold more efficiently” – David Blaine

4/ Should I Go Carnivore or Vegan: It’s about finding out what works best for you and not adopting strict dogma. Drown out the noise and LISTEN TO YOUR BODY - Sal Di Stefano

5/ Go For Gold By Cutting Off Losers: “None of them were actually doing anything that was that productive and I believe that because I cut them off, it allowed me to become super obsessive about the sport…that’s where my growth began” – Apolo Ohno

6/ Labels Are Not Tattoos: None of the labels you give yourself are stable forever. Your job, hobbies, and even name can change throughout your life “In these times we can’t have labels because it holds us back” – Zev Weinstein

7/ Open Schools: School reopening should not wait until we have a vaccine”. Many children are at greater risk to their overall wellbeing by staying home - Rajeev Venkayya MD (Dir. Gates Foundation/Takeda Vaccines)

8/ But Don’t Speed Read: Speed reading is like speed eating. If you can to do it you’ll likely regret it later. “If you are in a real hurry…all you’re going to do is give yourself indigestion and you’ll feel like crap later” – Alan Jacobs  

9/ Not All Data is Created Equally: Buying data from a third-party isn’t as valuable as having direct data from your customers. – Katrina Lake
