Hello my friends,

I thought I would run a little experiment and try to provide you with some added value beyond the weekly.

Perhaps it’s the change of season but my Twitter feed has been on fire recently.

From compression of complex ideas to front-line observations on the supply chain crisis, I wanted to curate ten of the best and share them with you.

Do let me know what you think of this format and whether I should build on it.

And if you really like it, share it with your cohort using the button below ↓

As always, I appreciate your time and trust.

“Word of Shareability” is a concept that I’ve been talking about for a while. When publishing, think about the DMs and group chats.
The master, George Mack, eloquently breaks it down in a screenshot essay.

The best marketing advice I've ever had.

10,000 hours, 10,000 songs in your pocket, 10,000 steps. More marketing than science?

The 10,000 steps advice didn’t originate with science, but marketing (and specifically, design) a sort of Keats Effect at work? Care of @newscientist cc: @rorysutherland @adamferrier @s_tatam @utterlydavid @danbenyork @rshotton

I don't treat my calendar as a blank surface to pile events onto. I think of it as a ledger of how many times I've traded my time away.

Steph Smith is one of my favorite follows on Twitter. All signal.

The 40 hour workweek was established over a century ago. Since then, we've invented 5G networks, automation, 3D printing, AR/VR, and a computer that can fit in your pocket. Nearly all of the tools have changed, yet somehow ppl still think the way we work needs to stay the same.

Even if you you have your doubts; publish your work and trust me, what happens will surprise you.

This one was such a hit in the Mental Health Awareness Special I needed to share it again.

On Aug 1, I woke up and didn’t want to get out of bed. I felt…blank. Hollowed out. I’d felt this way for months. I couldn’t enjoy anything. I didn’t care about work. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I wasn’t necessarily depressed. Objectively life was amazing...

Codie Sanchez’s feed offers a zero BS approach to life and work.

Codie Sanchez 💥 @Codie_Sanchez

If you don’t focus on wealth, scarcity will find you. If you don’t obsess over your finances, you’ll soon have none. No one cares about your financial freedom more than you do. No one.

After reading Will Larson’s Work on What Matters this resonated.

scott belsky @scottbelsky

if you worry more about your career than the actual work, your earned influence and career opportunities will be constrained by the lack of incredible work shipped. another reason to seek work (and customers) you genuinely care about - and a culture of attribution.

If you haven’t ordered your Christmas presents it looks like you’re already too late.

Yesterday I rented a boat and took the leader of one of Flexport's partners in Long Beach on a 3 hour of the port complex. Here's a thread about what I learned.

Going to try out a few new ideas over the next few weeks and see what sticks.

If you enjoyed this one, let me know.
