πŸ’Œ 6 Things Thursday #25

Salaam,

Here's another microdose of things I enjoyed this week--written by me, Raadβ€”CEO of Lawtrades.

‍

1/ A podcast I played 🀳🏽

‍

Travel without social praise

‍

β€œWe often live for others, without even realizing it. We are trying to impress an invisible crowd. We like the social reward of saying, β€œWe’re traveling the world!” We imagine how friends and strangers would react to this big news.

‍

Do we really want to do this thing, for its own sake? Or do we just want the praise?”

‍

2/ Tips I applied ✍🏽

‍

‍

3/ A post I read πŸ—

‍

Fast

‍

A list of people quickly accomplishing ambitious things together.

‍

My favorite one: Tony Fadell was hired to create the iPod in late January 2001. Steve Jobs greenlit the project in March 2001. They hired a contract manufacturer in April 2001, announced the product in October 2001, and shipped the first production iPod to customers in November 2001, around 290 days after getting started.

‍

4/ A startup I discovered 🧠\

‍

mindbloom

‍

To β€œexpand the human potential” starting with guided ketamine therapy for depression and anxiety.

‍

5/ A chart I analyzed 🦈

‍

Credit card profitability or legalized loan sharking?

‍

‍

6/ A quote I saved πŸ’­

‍

If you hate somebody, first you have to wound your own soul in so many ways; you have to be so full of poison that you can throw poison on others.

β€” Osho

‍

Take care.
