"I'm happy to say I feel better about the second half of my life than the first. My advice: Don't beat yourself up over past mistakes – learn at least a little from them and move on. It is never too late to improve ... it's never too late to change." – From Buffett's final annual letter I started following Buffett when I was just a teenager. I learned a lot about investing, but even more so about life. It's never too late to change.

It's going to be a fun fall and spring racing.

Stuff like this is happening because there’s a generation of people who grew up behind a keyboard and never had to live with the consequences of their actions.

What’s your HYROX experience?

I’m motivated by the fear of not living up to my full potential

My ski form isn’t right (yet) Here’s how it needs to be better: • Stand closer to the front • More hip hinge and lats, less arms The SkiErg should be lat dominant, not arms Picture doing a heavy medicine ball slam My form is better than it used to be, but still room for improvement

Testing Claude video editing. This is with 0 prompt or creative direction. I just gave Claude a folder with a bunch of video files and said, "Create a video with these files," and this is what it came up with. Obviously, it's not good enough without any direction, but I could see this getting good with real prompting, creative direction, and examples to reference.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but you shouldn't spew your opinions without any real reasoning or logic behind them *Makes a joke about hating HYROX/the HYROX cruise* Goes on to say, "I honestly don't know anything about it" ...what? How can you have an opinion on something you "know nothing about"? This isn't just for HYROX. It's for any opinions. Have real reasoning behind them, or don't have an opinion at all (it's okay not to have opinions on things) (No problem if HYROX isn't for you. It's not for everyone.)

Losers: I have too much going on, I can’t be disciplined Winners: I have to be disciplined because I have so much going on

I don’t hope to win. I expect to win.

I’ve always thought building in public was risky. Of course, if your product/service is successful enough, people will find out anyway (even if you don’t build in public) AI makes all of this even worse Where does the future of entrepreneurship go? Is indie hacking dead? What businesses will survive? I hear people often say IRL businesses and physical products Makes sense on the surface, but what happens if/when AI causes people to not have enough money to even pay for businesses not disrupted by AI? I have no idea how any of this will play out or where it’s going, but I have a feeling it’s going to be a crazy ride

This is going to be big for the future of content creation.

If you’re looking to get faster on your burpee broad jumps, one of the best ways is to not stand up all the way in between reps Land low, stay low Unlike lunges, where the rulebook says you have to fully stand up between reps, there’s no rule like that for burpees It’s faster and more efficient to stay low

This is how I fueled today’s workouts (And my average for the week)

27 days until HYROX Dallas Run: • 1.5 mi warmup • 3 x 2 mi @ LT1, 2 min easy jog between Straight intoStrength: • 10 min warmup on sleds + ski • 4 x E5MOM: 15 cal ski, 10m sled pull, 10m sled push, 20m burpee broad jumps, easy ski to fill the rest of the 5 min

When I first started running about 8-10 months ago, these Brooks Hyperion Max 2 were one of the first pairs of shoes I bought for “speed work” At first, I really liked them (I didn’t know any different) Now that I’ve tried a bunch of different running shoes, they’re not quite the shoes for me They’re a bit too firm for my liking I personally prefer a softer feel, more plush I’ve been loving the Adidas EVO SL for easy/long runs and PUMA HYROX Deviate NITRO Elite 4 for faster runs
