When I sat down to write this, I didn't think it would be the most challenging thing I've ever written. Yet, after multiple drafts and weeks of editing, I'm glad to say it's done. I hope you enjoy it. medium.com/p/what-i-wish-i-k…

Early days yet, but "The Influence Playbook" is the best J'can produced content I've seen all year. I couldn't stop laughing. Excellent production, editing, graphic design and motion graphics. No spoilers please. Only finished ep. 1. Where dem find Monae??

I slept well for 7 days in a row, maybe the first time in a decade - and that's my win for 2025. The changes I made? - No/low light at night - No drink 1 hour before bed - No coffee - Blue light glasses - Minimize screen time before bed.

Focus, Mood, Motivation, Mental Acuity ⬆️ Irritability, Anxiety ⬇️ Nothing revolutionary, but it works. Prioritize sleep today.

Sleeping well is my norm now. If I had to recommend two resources that had a biggest impact, it would be the book "Say Goodnight to Insomnia" and this podcast clip (or full episode) from @hubermanlab : youtube.com/watch?v=lIo9Fcrl…

Unsolicited advice: Get an annual checkup. You could be feeling fine and something in your body is trending in the wrong direction.

New media isn't much different from old media. Same incentives. Same human nature. Just a different medium.

It's one thing to hear about Free Solo. It's another thing to watch it. My word.

Solid episode @Limitless_pod ft. Jermaine (@LearnGrowInvest) . A game-within-the-game type of episode with no shortage of smiles. One of my favourites for the year.

A few mins of TikTok really does the trick sometimes.

This is a nice discussion and I largely agree with this take. If Monique is talking about a pre-PMF tech company, I don't think they need the added burden of reporting quarterly in addition to that of finding their legs.
That micro market business…I’m not so sure it’s something any early-stage or small tech startup should be rushing towards. Especially those with global ambitions. My personal and perhaps insignificant opinion is that a public listing at that stage can do more to stifle you than anything else at a time when you should be rapidly running (sometimes seemingly random) experiments…without worrying about whether retail investors and the public will like the quarterly/short-term results of said experiments. It might be tempting since there are next to no VCs providing pre-seed and seed funding locally…especially not for tech…but think hard and think long.

This wasn't Monique's original point, but I also think the point of the market souring on tech companies is a valid one. Characters and youth aside, by now we've noticed the trend of listed "tech" companies struggling before pivoting to the holding company business model.
