    What's your motivation to do things if you don't need to make money.

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm very curious about this. In my personal experience the most malicious thing you can do to an ambitious individual is give them free handouts, it weakens them, and if the charity continues it turns them mediocre. Like the adage of the man and the fish. I have seen it happen too many times...

    Motivated by MJs new profile pic, have been prioritizing ab training to heal a tweaked lower back. Goal is clean up the form and do 100 consecutive reps of the wheel rollout.

    A wolf I encountered on a walk last night. Seems like a pretty random thing to see in the middle of a suburban neighbourhood in East Vancouver.

    (Radio interview) How to quickly get started in business

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Episode 1 takeaways: 1. Find what people need and provide that product or service, don’t begin by thinking about what you want. (Have to give to receive.) 2. Be reliable and stick to your word, reputation is important. (Be referable.) 3. Hone in on what provides the best results and focus on...

    How to Get Rich, by Felix Dennis

    BOOKS 
    My favorite is the last 2 questions when he tells the girl who has a convolutedly phrased question 'The trouble is she has been to university, and I can tell that immediately.' followed by the guy who asks a basic straight to the point question 'Oh perfect, that is a brilliant question.' :rofl...

    Needing Advice, Is a University Degree worth doing at 21 years old? What would be the best way forward?

    IDEA MINDSET 
    Nonsense, insecurity and fear are there to be overcome, sometimes they are the catalyst that ensure you push harder than you would have otherwise. No path is guaranteed, the only thing I know is the less risks you take the more you'll regret it later on.

    I like the dichotomy between the two perspectives. It’s why I don’t mind being ignorant and asking potentially stupid questions on here from time to time, the real ones on here set you straight and you learn quick.

    Reminds me of Phil Knight at the end of Shoe Dog saying how when Nike when public and his net worth went from 0 to 100m over night he was depressed, and he longed for and wished he could do it all over again despite his journey being an endless string of failures, reneg's and catastrophe's...

    Mental Health, Depression, ADD Discussion Thread

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    I’d recon it should always begin with sorting yourself out first. Lots of people use workaholism (the luckier ones) as an escapism and become massively successful only to realize it never made them happy or they find they ruined their health or their relationships in the process. Poor mental...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    I was vegan for 7 years straight (2015-2021), as strict as could possibly be. No chocolate unless it was dark, would go to restaurants and ask if they could modify anything with dairy. No cross contaminating cooking utensils etc., and only supplemented B12 the whole time and was fine. I...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    The obvious one would be B12. DHA and EPA are also hard to get even if you consume a lot of flax/chia, if I remember correctly flax also has a lot of anti nutrients even if you soak them thoroughly.

    I am on a personal goal to decrease caffeine reliance.

    Nope. Definitely cortisol lol. I’m going to stop pretending like I’m a scientist and did research in a lab, but I can specifically remember reading that screwy cortisol levels from consuming caffeine at inopportune times was directly correlated with inhibited DHEA production, it was a point of...

    The guy who wrote the book Caffeine Blues, who is against caffeine, still drinks one well timed cup of coffee a day. This way you gain the benefits of caffeine without the negatives. Coffee once in the morning (60 minutes after you wake allow the natural post sleep cycle to flush the cortisol...

    Essential lessons for young children...

    HOT! IDEA 
    I think this one is imperative. I think parents need a crash course on how children develop, because children are so volatile when young that they can internalize and carry damage from ignorant parents their entire lives on a physiological and psychological level. I’m all for internal locus...
