who are the most interesting business men alive? eg. Pavel from telegram. Billionaire, "zuck of russia", only wears all black like neo in the matrix, jacked, lives in airbnbs and moves every few months. The criteria: 1) interesting == unsual lifestyle, eccentric, weird, not…
“Opportunity is a function of density. Get to a place that’s crowded with success. Big cities are like Wimbledon—even if you aren’t Rafael Nadal, your game will improve by being on the court with him. And you’ll either get in better shape or learn you shouldn’t be at…

"look for projects that can be successes long term, even if they fail short term" - @tferriss this is a brilliant way to look at a project before even starting. and that is the same mentality I'm bringing to my 100k followers in 90 days challenge. if I don't get 100k…

what's the simplest thing you've done for your parents that made their life better?
@ShaanVP Dude, love LOVE the parent podcast idea. Can we get access to your question vault for this? I’d love to do it
@ShaanVP Loved the "sober" response. I know for my parents they were at peace of mind when they knew myself and my sibling grew up and could take care of ourselves.
@ShaanVP Lost 30 pounds on keto. Showed up back home that way and my sugar-addicted dad says, “Tell me what you did. I’ll do it.” He’s stubborn. He did it. Lost 50 pounds, inflammation dropped way down, insulin resistance cured. Eats vaguely paleo now and is healthier at 70 than 50
@ShaanVP @eliweisss @heyalexfriedman This was great
@ShaanVP I pay a kid down the street to solve all their tech problems (IE, getting the TV back on the right input)...best money I've ever spent
@myfirstmilpod dropped their stock picks on Feb 12th. @thesamparr picked @Ferrari which is up 8.6% @ShaanVP picked TKO (@ufc and @WWE) and which is up 10% The S&P500 is up 0.7% in that time.
SO INCREDIBLY PROUD to share 2 HUGE updates: 1) The first baby was born using @OrchidInc technology — and he’s super cute 🥰 2) I tested my own embryos with Orchid — we got SO much information & l feel confident now 🚀 This is the future of how babies will be born!
@ShaanVP sometimes spoils my weekdays😅 I got a long 'to do list' but now how can I resist watching @myfirstmilpod episode with the @tferriss? well Let's take revenge and 'spoil' the weekdays of many by sharing this link: youtube.com/watch?v=Ql8aB0…

The New England Patriots are listening and taking calls from teams looking to move into 3. While GM Eliot Wolf is running point, I’m told Patriots’ President Jonathan Kraft is heavily involved in the decision making.
