I recently had the chance to meet @MikeCoachk and it reminded how most people gravely underestimate the the detail-orientation and extraordinary willpower that the best apply every day. @TheAtlantic has a great story about him coaching Team USA. Coach was ALWAYS in Sicko mode:

When new technology makes one thing abundant, value shifts to whatever remains scarce. Mike Maples Jr. (@m2jr) says AI is about to trigger that shift. āThe interesting question isnāt whatās happening, but what will become scarce given all thatās happeningā¦ what will the newā¦
Iām convinced storytelling will be the most important (and defensible) skill anyone can develop in the era of AI. What are the best resources, tips, and ways to practice telling freaking incredible stories?

Hey @mcuban, we met on @ABCSharkTank in 2015 when I pitched you on a video chat device for dogs (I was 14 years old). Since then, I earned 2 engineering degrees from Stanford, worked as an early-stage VC investor, and am now founding a consumer AI company called Friends Knowā¦
āToday might be the best chance you have to take action. The longer you wait, the more deeply embedded you get in your current lifestyle. Your habits solidify. You get comfortable. It will never be easy, but it may also never be easier than it is right now.ā - James Clear
One thing I donāt see enough of is inter-generational founding teams. A domain expert who is still gunning for bear combined with an AI-native builder is a dangerous combination. In fact, it might be the best way to win moving forward.

1. How do I want to show up in the world today? 2. How can I challenge myself today? 3. How can I have the most fun doing what I need to do today? 4. Whose life can I make better today? ^ Best questions to start the day
