    One of the coolest things about ChatGPT is...

     

    What may seem odd today could easily become the norm in 20 years.

     

    This is the essential skill every podcaster should have.

     

    This is my trick to stay silent in group conversations

    This is the simplest and most effective demonstration of sugar content I’ve ever seen.

    Seeing a Coca-Cola label say “39g of sugar” doesn’t have the same bite as SEEING this giant bag of sugar:

    Wisdom:

    Looks matter!

    This guys AirBnB revenue went up after painting his rental house black:
    house-painting-revenue.png

    This was in Mt Hood, Oregon...and the simple act of touching up the rental made it more profitable!

    Interesting:

    My dream marketing experiment would be to put a QR code on the Las Vegas Sphere and see how many people click it!

    las-vegas-qr-code.png

    Side Note: I am flying to The Sphere today in Las Vegas see U2!

    I love U2, and am 40% excited to see them....but 60% excited just to see The Sphere in person!!

    I'll post some pics on my Instagram.
     

    Picture:

    Yesterday I met up a bunch of popular Twitter peeps IRL (In Real Life) for some pizza! I already knew half the people, but it's fun when you go from following someone online to meeting up in person!

    Essay:

    The gym I go to has “recovery center” with sauna, cold plunge…plus like 10 other things for recovery.

    This one is an “EWOT” (Exercise With Oxygen Therapy).

    The big bag is filled with pure oxygen and you suck it in through a hose while huffing and puffing on a bike:

    image.jpeg

    You have to wear this mask so you inhale only pure oxygen.

    I've done it twice...I'm not sure if this stuff works or if it's just interesting and fun to try.

    image.jpeg

    This other "treatment" I recently tried is a bed and chair with electric nodes that shock you and make your muscles twitch.

    image.jpeg

    I've done it twice and I think I'm gonna stop, it just scares me.

    I used my AirPods/iPhone while on it and they both started glitching from the electric currents 😳

    image.jpeg

    Like I said....I have no idea if any of these things actually help a ton, but they are fun to try!

     

     

    Splurge:

    These NuoBell 80lbs dumbbells are the most commonly used thing in my home gym:

    One twist of the handle and they switch weight from 5lbs up to 80 Ibs, so it's easy to do multiple sets with different weights and not a lot of time adjusting the dumbbell...

    image.jpeg

    The downside is they are more expensive than other adjustable dumbbells and they're a little more delicate. I won't "drop" these abruptly like you can with regular dumbbells.

    However it's great to have a full range of weights that take up little space and look cool!

    I hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!
