I’m really into the idea of "Strengthspan." More and more studies show that strength, especially lower body strength, is super important for living a longer life. So, if you’re skipping leg day, this is your wake-up call 🫵

As we age, we lose muscle faster, and eventually, our legs might not be strong enough to stop us from falling. Here’s the scary part: if you break a hip after 50, there’s a 30% chance you might not make it through the year.

So, the goal is to stay on our feet as we age by building and keeping that leg strength now! Plus, there are other great benefits—like improved metabolic health, cardiovascular fitness, and staying independent longer 💪

Marc Andreessen’s approach to to-do lists completely transformed my productivity. It’s just three lists: To Do, Watch, and Later. That’s it.

  • To Do: Everything that needs to get done today, this week, or this month.

  • Watch: Things you need to keep an eye on or follow up with.

  • Later: Stuff you might get to when you have the time or energy.

If it doesn’t fit one of those three, it’s gone 🫥

Love that habit, Ryan!

A compliment from a barista or barber always brightens my day and gives my confidence a boost. Imagine if more people did that without holding back (usually because of insecurities). I truly believe this habit could make the world a better place.

I'm going to start practicing it too! 💬
