women bond by discussing problems
men bond by doing the dumbest thing possible to avoid thinking about life problems
This is why golf rules. You get to drink & drive tiny clown cars, and try to hit a tiny ball into a tiny cup 300 yards away for 6 hours.

Heard this concept the other day and kinda love it:
Type 1 Fun = fun now, but bad for you later (eg. getting drunk)
Type 2 Fun = hard now, but fun later when you look back (eg. having kids, starting a company)
what about Type 3 fun? Fun now, Fun later. (eg. travel)

then I close the trunk and just sit in the car and scroll twitter in peace

I’ve been looking for mispriced assets in my daily life
For example, what personality traits are undervalued?
Everyone wants to be smart. That’s fairly priced
Here’s one answer: showmanship
The more we’ve become bent-neck nerds, staring at phones, old school showmanship has become rare
Quick story: I recently hired a basketball coach
(It’s weird, I know. What 36 year old out-of-shape dude hires a basketball skills coach?)
Well, because running on a treadmill makes me want to murder kittens, and playing basketball makes me happy.
Anyway, I show up for the session – and he’s already surprised…
He normally trains NBA prospects…and here I am: a tech nerd with greying hair, wearing mismatched socks, and a Michael Scott style tank top jersey
I do a little stretching, and he tells me to shoot a free throw so he can take a look at my form. He’s trying to figure out my baseline
I step to the free throw line.. **dribble..dribble.. exhale…CLANK!**
On purpose, I threw up the ugliest jump shot you’ve ever seen. I would have put Bo Outlaw to shame (deep reference for my NBA boys).
My coach was stunned. I’ve never seen a face say so clearly: “what the hell have I got myself into”
Then I paused before saying: “I’m just kidding man”… **shoots a normal shot, makes it**
He busted out laughing. “Oh man, you got me. That was good. That was so good. That was my favorite moment at work this whole year. That’s funny.”
It took 10 seconds, but just choosing to have a little showmanship, or playfulness, made this guys day. He told all his coworkers, and was still laughing about it the next session
As adults, it’s easy to have all your playfulness, and showmanship beaten out of you. The world wants you to be serious
But why? Why so serious? Everybody likes fun. But we act like doing fun things is wrong or inappropriate
Baloney! Today - find a moment to play. Find a moment to do something with a little finesse. A little style. A little…showmanship!

Wikipedia is better than Netflix tonight... Listen to this:
I was looking up past presidents who had assassination attempts, and this Teddy Roosevelt story is incredible:
---> story:
Teddy was walking to his car - when an assassin shot him in the chest.
He's hit, but his life is saved because the bullet hits his glasses case and a 50-page speech before entering his chest cavity.
He had the speech printed and in his jacket pocket because he was about to go give a campaign speech.
With a bullet sitting in his chest, he looks for the shooter.
Teddy's secretary is an ex-football player who tackled the guy. Teddy says "bring him to me"
He looks him in the eye and asks "why'd you do it?". No answer. He says "forget it" and tells the cops to take him away.
Instead of going to the hospital - he decides to drive to his campaign rally and give a 50 minute speech with a bullet in his chest.
Blood is soaking through his shirt (see pic)
He finishes the speech saying "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."
He then goes to the hospital.
They see that he's got a bullet there, but they're afraid to take it out because OH THATS HOW THE PRIOR PRESIDENT (MCKINLEY) JUST DIED (crazy ass times)
So they leave it in, and he lives his whole life with the bullet in his chest. They ask him 30 years later if it hurts and he said "I do not mind it any more than if the bullet were in my pocket"
Despite his G-Unit credentials- he loses the election.
(he ran as a third party candidate, with his self-made party called the Bull Moose Party)

one of my favorite founders : @tfadp
- co-founded Teach for America
- got recruited by Ari Emanuel
- created OMGPOP, almost failed, hail mary last game went mega viral (Draw Something) and sold to zynga for $183M
- created Overtime, won over black hoops culture despite being a 40+yr old white dude
and best of all:
* funny as hell
* no ego , self secure
* isn't driven by money... or even a higher purpose...just likes to do things for the adventure/challenge
Going to tie him to a chair and force him to do a podcast with me
