This is the 1980's version of "everyone in this company needs to be using AI."

It's a 1980 internal Apple memo telling people to stop using typewriters!

They figured if they were a computer company, everyone should be using computers instead of typewriters:

I love the headline: "YOU ALL BETTER READ THIS" 🤣

Wisdom:

​This Instagram Story​ from Sam Parr quickly has everything for a viral video:

- Big number ($10m in sales)
- Contagious laughing
- Hot chick
- Cute baby
- Weird product being sold (onions)

His dad wholesales $10m of onions off 2 phones + a laptop. That's more relatable to MOST people than advanced AI:

Interesting:

I saw this cool speaking fee chart from Chandler Bolt, and it's organized by LOCATION.

This makes so much sense because the further away the gig, the more time and mental energy it takes.

In Austin he'll speak for $5,000 bc he'll just drive over to the gig. Then it goes up with distance: $10,000 anywhere in Texas. $25,000 anywhere in North America $50,000 international.

My little buddy is learning new skills:

We've been going out to lots of restaurants and parties with him. Fortunately many of our friends have kids similar ages too:

Smiley guy and dad!

Essay:

For every $1million in savings, if you withdraw 3% per year, you'd make: $30,000/year (or $2,500/month).

Assuming those numbers, if you save this much, here's how much money you'd make:

• $1M → $30,000/year → $2,500/month

• $2M → $60,000/year → $5,000/month

• $3M → $90,000/year → $7,500/month

• $4M → $120,000/year → $10,000/month

• $5M → $150,000/year → $12,500/month

• $6M → $180,000/year → $15,000/month

• $7M → $210,000/year → $17,500/month

• $8M → $240,000/year → $20,000/month

• $9M → $270,000/year → $22,500/month

• $10M → $300,000/year → $25,000/month

• $11M → $330,000/year → $27,500/month

• $12M → $360,000/year → $30,000/month

• $13M → $390,000/year → $32,500/month

• $14M → $420,000/year → $35,000/month

• $15M → $450,000/year → $37,500/month

• $16M → $480,000/year → $40,000/month

• $17M → $510,000/year → $42,500/month

• $18M → $540,000/year → $45,000/month

• $19M → $570,000/year → $47,500/month

• $20M → $600,000/year → $50,000/month

By knowing how much money you'd need to live well, you can find the number that would get you to financial escape velocity.

Seems like a cool goal to work backwards to.

Splurge:

In health, the EASY STUFF often massively outweighs the hard stuff

For example if you just go for a walk and get more steps in, this is massively more beneficial than almost everything else.

Hope you have a great weekend.....go take a quick walk!!!
