📕 1. Health Book I Finished This Week – The Energy Formula by Shawn Wells

​Shawn Wells is a biochemist known the “World’s Greatest Formulator,” having created and patented multiple compounds found in millions of homes.

This book is his recipe for creating boundless energy, through his 6 “ingredients”: Experiment, Nutrition, Exercise, Routine, Growth, and Your Tribe.

While a lot of the content has been covered in other books, the detailed guides about supplements are worth the price of admission.

🔑 My Top Takeaway – Shawn’s Top Supplements For EVERYONE

Vitamin D3 + K2, Berberine, Collagen, Magnesium, Ashwagandha, High-quality Multivitamin with Active B Vitamins, L-Ergothioneine, Alpha-GPC, Creatine, Curcumin, High DHA Fish Oil

Note: This is not medical advice – this list is directly from the book. Consult your Doctor and always look up supplements at examine.com.


📒 2. Article I Wrote – Good Things Come In Threes

If you’re like me, the to-do list in your brain is miles long.

But how do we decide what to actually do?

​Read my article on The Rule of Three to learn how to prioritize and focus every day.


🦄 3. Another Vote For The 4 Day Workweek – Tech Unicorn Bolt Goes 4 Day Permanently​

I’ve been paying close attention to the 4 day workweek (and the 5 hour workday) for a while now.

Looks like tech companies are catching on.

After a successful pilot (94% of staff approved), Bolt is switching to the 4DWW permanently.

Read the thread below for all the details:


🍟 4. Eat Like A Billionaire – Warren Buffett’s Disgusting Diet

I’m researching Warren Buffett to learn more about how high-performers make decisions.

Instead I discovered his disturbing diet.

Warren Buffett eats like a 6 year old.

5 cans of Coke a day. Constant candy eating. Ice cream for lunch.

How do people do it?


⌨️ 5. Low-tech Typewriter I’ve Got My Eye On – The Freewrite Traveler

I love computers but they do TOO MUCH.

Sometimes, you just need to write.

This low-tech typewriter replaces your word processor.

No more checking email or Instagram instead of writing. Very cool.

There’s definitely a market for more low-tech products that replicate a single feature of phones/computers, without the distractions.
