"Show me your friends and I'll show you your future" - Dan Pena
Dan Pena is a self-made billionaire, turned motivational speaker, double Harvard graduate and financial guru. Gentle warning; If I were to say that he uses a little bad language... I might be putting it lightly...
Reid Hoffman, The Network Man. I’m fond of the expression “Your network is your net worth.” Few people represent this as well as Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn. Check out this article to learn how Hoffman became an “ubernode” — one of the world’s most well-networked people. You can find the article here.
Long-time friends of this blog will know that no two editions pass us by without me throwing in a little bit of comic relief... those of you who have a real eagle eye for detail might recognise this as re-cycled content, so for you, it's just a reminder to tune into the SmartLess podcast, for others it's an introduction. I love Jason Bateman (Ozark & Arrested Development) he does a podcast with Will Arnett and Sean Hayes. If that isn't enough of a pull, recent guests include Tom Hanks, Ricky Gervais, George Clooney, Mark Cuban & Dave Grohl... here is an episode with Matthew McConaughey. Hope you enjoy the series as much as I do!
There are two main mindsets through which we navigate life: fixed and growth. Having the latter is essential for success, but how can you develop the right mindset to improve your intelligence? Carol Dweck breaks it down nicely in her?summary of a fixed vs. growth mindset. If you're onboard with the idea, you can check this article out on Medium.com on 'Unlocking the power of a growth mindset'
If met with two options both similar in quality but one more sustainable than the other... I'd like to think I would choose the more sustainable option. Well, next time you consider a new piece of clothing check out YES Friends - their materials are fully recycled and from sustainable sources & fully traceable. Importantly, they make really nice clothing.
Yes - I know Patagonia is 'the most sustainable brand in the world' but they also charge you ￡45 for a t-shirt... so not all that sustainable on the wallet. YesFriends tees start at ￡12. Worth investing in.
