Wealth

1. Don’t Call It a Book: “If you call it a course, you can charge $299. Call it a book and you get $29. You’re selling direct to the customer” – Jack Butcher

2. Just Because You’re Right, Doesn’t Mean You Aren’t Being a D#ck: The strategy for giving feedback to kids is the same as giving feedback to employees. Even if you’re a parent with high standards, don’t constantly criticize your kids. You need to have a balance of good to negative feedback. – Randall Stutman

6. Start With The Problem, Not The Solution: When people are in a crisis they want to act quickly to try to solve it. Taking a moment to really understand the problem that we are trying to solve helps us to find more effective solutions – Alexandra Carter

9. The Juice is Worth the Squeeze (to build your arms): Chin up for bicep enhancement: supinated grip, as you pull up – squeeze biceps hard and resist leaning back which engages back muscles – Mind Pump

10. Vaccines Are Not Enough: We will still need drugs like Antibodies to protect those who may not respond well to the vaccine and those who have already been infected. Preferably a cocktail that could prevent viral escape/mutation – Joseph Vinetz
