What if AI is actually creating more jobs than it is replacing? The latest JOLTs data showed that US job openings surged by a massive 731,000 jobs in April. Markets were expecting no change, resulting in the largest beat in JOLTs history. As a result, available employment hit 7.6 million for the month, the highest since May 2024. And, job openings in the professional and business services sector surged by a massive 668,000. The labor market's bull case from AI is underpriced.

AI augments humans, not replaces them.

The longer I'm alive, the more I notice that 99% of people overcomplicate living well. Learn to earn money on your own, keep yourself in good physical shape, and build strong relationships. Congrats. You've won.

“Mastery is the best goal because the rich can't buy it, the impatient can't rush it, the privileged can't inherit it, and nobody can steal it. You can only earn it through hard work.” – Derek Sivers

Some of the highest quality businesses in the world are trading at extremely cheap prices. Ignore the MSM. One of the most one-sided wars in history that will end well for the U.S. and the world. And we have the potential for a large peace dividend. One of the best times in a long time to buy quality. Ignore the bears.

Be aggressive. I can still hear my dad pounding the message into my brain in our pre-game talks growing up. The reason so many of you struggle with fear and anxiety is because you are the opposite of aggressive. You live passively. You wait for things to happen instead of dedicating everything you have to making them happen. You react instead of act. There will never be peace of mind or security living like that. You are just existing waiting for the next bad thing to happen... And it does. This is the root for a lot of the "mental health" issues we see in society today. Humans were built to move forward and create. They were not meant to be passive and wait. If you want to feel better immediately, get off your ass and go do something hard that’s productive towards your future self. If you are constantly focused on moving forward.... And you know you're never gonna stop.... What do you have to be afraid of? If you aren't afraid? How can you have anxiety? How can you lose with this mentality? You can't. Get over your pity party, get off your ass and go build that motherfucker you always wanted to be.

The older you get, the more you realize luck is just exposure. If you sit in the same chair, same routine, talking to same people… nothing new happens. You have to touch the world to win. • Talk to strangers • try a new coffee spot • post on social • Start a side hustle The world rewards motion. You don’t find opportunity sitting still. You bump into it.

MrBeast shares the wisest piece of advice he’s ever been given “Honestly you just really are who you surround yourself with. The five people you hang around the most are gonna decide who you’ll be” “If you wanna be a YouTuber, hang out with other people who wanna be YouTubers. If you spent the next two years with me and my four smart friends that I talk to about YouTube a lot, you would become a YouTuber, you just would” “You just are who you surround yourself with and you really gotta internalise that and the sooner you do, the quicker you’ll achieve what you want in life”

So many people have a victim mentality now that you can win by simply taking accountability and having discipline in your life. The bar has never been lower.

The performance by Connor Hellebuyck was the most unbelievably ice cold display of goaltending I’ve ever seen. As a (soccer) goalie dad, special place in my heart for goaltenders. Go USA! 🇺🇸 🥇🇺🇸

The gym is the last honest place. No one can do your reps for you. No one can fake a Pullup. 315 is always 315 GO TO THE GYM
