Ever wonder about the magic behind GoPro videos and millions of views? As a video editor for them, here is a peek into my craft:

You arbitrarily pick the thing and ignore everything else in order to make the thing you've picked important You can't identify the most important thing if you haven't done anything, which is why everyone who's found their thing gives this advice on repeat (myself included)
identify the most important thing ignore everything else repeat

Idea for you @zachpogrob for Aura. Implement a yearly calendar, and when I hover I get to see the training session (miles or workout) + a photo. On the calendar, like nolio, a small recap. Per month, a total, like nolio.
Loved this idea so much we brought it to the HEY Calendar overnight. Live now in the new Year view (top left toggle in your HEY Calendar account).

Is there a correlation between successful people and the number of business books read/podcasts listened to ... or is it just a distraction? Genuinely curious.
Nine years ago, I launched Founders (@FoundersPodcast). Today, I'm launching a new podcast called David Senra. The first episode goes live this Sunday. Subscribe wherever you watch or listen to podcasts. Founders will still come out every week. @scicomm // @hubermanlab

Hopefully. There are days I'm like "wtf I am even spending time working my ass off while my friends are making 3x more money than me for 3x less time"
sometimes the only thing you can do is to keep going and just trust that everything will turn out better than you can ever imagine.

An idea for you @jackbutcher I made this chrome new tab page, but it would fit very well the Manifest. So you know where you are in the year. Sense or urgency imo. You could also add an option to see quarterly goals + switch between light & dark. Got all the code iyw
this update is based on the original vv product - the daily manifest, rolling out bit by bit in contrast to a typical calendar, I find it more useful to audit/map what you spend time on after the fact go to vv.xyz & click manifest top left to play with it

Learn a lot of design. Learn a little bit of code, just the fundamentals. Use AI tools. And it's wild what you can build.

Skiing + filmmaking = my happy place. Whenever I get to combine both, it’s a win. Here’s my latest piece of work. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions, happy to answer anything !

I know running is more the current hype … but funny enough, my next commercial is for Brooks. And the idea was born watching one video from @samsnowden1 and @MarcusMilione Stay tuned 👀

Is selling a service inherently capped? Always leading to burnout? Every successful person I admire end up building something scalable—build once, sell twice—or burns out before they do. Or is service-based work just the foundation of that?

Lately, it feels like I’m not working on the right thing and should take notes from people like @thejustinwelsh, @SahilBloom, or @jackbutcher. Am I doing things wrong selling my time for money?

I'm 30 and I'm currently doing the biggest shift in my life. Taking gigantic risk. Both very stressing and exciting. I have no clue what will be the outcomes, but one is certain growth. I either fail and learn. Or succeed.

I believe in the next few years, this social media addiction era will be studied
Wonder if society ever hits a social media fatigue stage where platforms see user time drop significantly

Just watched latest @MarcusMilione video. Props to @samsnowden1 , the videos are getting better and better. How do I know? I got pumped and prepping to go for run. Ultimate indicator the video is great. Marcus is killing it. I expect you to be as big as NickB in a few years.

Oh and they don't need to promote them. I'm no one. But social media has become this incredible place where people are first to YELL when it's not perfect. But when it's actually good? Nothing. Let me be that guy. Sam, Marcus and Shawn: You're killing it!

I could leave my 9-5 now. My side hustle is making enough to live from it. But I don't. Because it forces me to work in a compressed time. I'm much more efficient that way. Hard to explain but the reality is I need pressure to move forward.

I enjoy life when I progress. That's it. An endless quest to "more" tho.
If you think a certain $$ amount will make you "complete" read this. This last year -Bought a $600k+ car in cash when I was bored on a weekend -Took a few vacations, private the entire way, about $150k-$200k each -Moved into a 14 million $$ giant penthouse I have driven the car like 3 times. I found the vacations barely tolerable after a few days. I like my house but I truly feel no big difference from it. Why I share this with you. The above is near the pinnacle of how you can live $$ wise. YET I STILL literally am only really happy when I am -Building stuff -Lifting/doing combat sports -Eating right -Progressing in hobbies (like guitar) -In a good place with my wife -Playing a good video game (If I'm being a piece of shit..I try not to do this..it ruins your head) And following a routine that lets me do those things. In short EVERYTHING I ever needed to be happy I had access to at the entry level of my career. And there has been virtually nothing I can buy to increase it or have an elevated life experience. It's not that I am some simple guy who like the little things in life. It's truly just that WE (you and I) have no where to "escape" or "get to" to in life that will make you finally "good". There is no destination where your "perma happy" and everything is good. If anything the best that destination will ever be is doing a similar routine/list to mine above on PERHAPS a bigger scale. AKA building bigger stuff, excelling at your hobbies/things you enjoy more. Simply put : The things you need to be good are likely already fully available to you. One of them likely being working on something your excited about. SO what you should REALLY focus on is not where the "work" is taking or WILL take you, since the only goal is to keep being able to work... AND MORE so focus on max enjoying your basic things and maximizing them. MOST people spend their life NOT enjoying/sacrificing thinking they will escape pain and boredom at a certain destination AND OR that becoming turbo wealthy will give them this. The truth is once base needs are covered you can't get happier or more fulfilled. Your capped. You can get small boost and highs. But more or less your capped and the things you already like doing are already the things you need to be happy. This is not me saying "don't get rich or spend money". Its just me saying you might as well enjoy where you are right now because its pretty much as good as it ever gets if your achieving your simple list like mine above. The point of the work towards a goal is the work. You can't work your way to happiness. Your life experience is already LIKELY near maxed if your doing the basics of healthy living and mental well being.
