  2. “Easily worked with 100 plus founders and entrepreneurs over the last 20 years, and I've seen some massive wins, some huge companies built, and some failures in zombies.

Americans, that's a lot of you people listening, and certainly overseas, I suspect it's similar, roughly 95%, according to some studies do not meet the recommended daily fiber intake.

Supports digestion, helps keep blood sugar stable, and feeds critical gut bacteria that affect nearly every aspect of life. This is why Fiber is actually one of the levers that I've revisited and pulled and experimented with the most in the last two years.”

Would you enjoy getting a short email from me every Friday that provides a little fun before the weekend? Between one and a half and two million people subscribed to my free newsletter, my super short newsletter called Five Bullet Friday. Easy to sign up, easy to cancel. It is basically a half page that I send out every Friday to share the coolest things I've found or discovered or have started exploring over that week. It's kind of like my diary of cool things. It often includes articles I'm reading, books I'm reading, albums perhaps, gadgets, gizmos, all sorts of tech tricks and so on that get sent to me by my friends, including a lot of podcast guests and these strange esoteric things end up in my field and then I test them and then I share them with you. So if that sounds fun, again, it's very short, a little tiny bite of goodness before you head.”

  6. “Thank you for that. And I have to say. Makes me so deeply. Happy. I mean, joy is probably a better word. I get so much joy out of the fact that you exist and you're doing what you're doing because It tests a lot of assumptions about a direction that I would view as pretty dystopian about online content creation.

And I just love that you're doing what you're doing. And I'm such a fan of your work, such a fan of challenge accepted. And I hope you keep doing it for a super long time.”

  47. “Yeah, owning, yeah, yeah, exactly. And like there are times for debt and venture and all that stuff. Constitutionally allergic to it. It doesn't make me feel like safe and pleasant.
