Interesting fact: If you speak English, Mandarin, Hindi, and Spanish...you can speak with ​60% of people on Earth!​

....with English being the #1 most useful language for business:

Since I live in Texas, learning Spanish since middle school has been extremely helpful for me over the years, and helped me in countless situations.

Wisdom:

This is a ​cool concept​ someone noticed about Elon Musk and how he operates so many companies:

“Basically, Elon Musk shows up every week at each of his companies. He identifies the biggest problem that the company’s having that week, and he fixes it. He does that every week for 52 weeks in a row, so each of his companies has solved the 52 biggest problems in that year.”

That's a pretty good way of sorting out your weeks.

52 weeks in a row of this can result in big wins:

Here's a ​printable chart​ you can use for yourself:

Interesting:

Well this is a great marketing tactic....CoinBase is throwing it's hat into the credit card game, but with a card that gives you up to 4% cash back on your purchase, but in BitCoin!

There's already so many cards that give you cash or airline points, but earning back BitCoin is a very interesting concept....if you're in the camp that it'll go much higher in the 10-year timeframe then this could be the push to use their card.

Very clever marketing!

Picture:

This week 16 of us close friends went to a buddies house in Park City, UT.

One friend made matching shirts for everyone so it looked kinda like some family reunion 😂

It was super fun! We did boating, hiking, walks, swimming, beach....then me and my wife went to a big hotel and did the spa for a couple of hours:

It was a super fun trip, and I'm happy to have friends that will take their kids and all travel together to meet up!

Essay:

While we were walking around that really nice neighborhood in Park City, Utah I noticed this under-construction house and saw this tinnnyyy house:

I was so curious what it was so I walked closer......is it a really small home?? An ADU unit???

Nope...turns out it's just a cover to make the porta potties look less ugly in the neighborhood!

I appreciate when people go out of their way to make things beautiful. This was a nice little touch.

I saw this a lot in Germany and Japan where they'd go through great lengths to cover up ugly construction.
