The messy middle
Currently in a season where:
We havent won yet
We dont see the silver lining
We havent made it through the dip
Its just plain hard and not sure if there will be “the other side” or “the win”
Its much easier to write about the failures or hardships after
@anothercohen
If you dont travel/have kids.
Quality Airbnbs with Kids is an absolute game changer.
Also if airbnbs sucked so much they wouldn’t exist.
The fact that they exist and can charge $$ means there is demand.
Also there is definitely an over supply of C- or below quality Airbnbs.
@meetmikehiggins
Say thank you!! Unconventional, but I found I get a lot of theft at my flips, so if this discourages that as well as helps your contractor work faster/better, then maybe no harm?
Definitely deserves a conversation though lol
@SaveYourSons
Tell them their value outside of their looks often (you are so smart, strong, funny, etc.)
Follow their lead on their interests
Honor and love your wife tremendously. They will learn more about their worth from how you love your wife than most things.
Discipline will most
@SeanODowd15
Sadly, Farmers markets are out of control
“Local” sourdough loaf- $28
Acai bowls- $18
Anything vegan, grassfed, organic, pasture, free range is 4x
I just learned candles, dog food, knifes can have those labels attached to them lol

@ZOOMDRAIN
we have promotions and raises pre planned and communicated.
They know exactly what they need to do in order get a raise of X.
This is also true for commissions, spifs and bonuses.
That way its not random, it’s transparent and its align incentives.
Each is tied
@austin_rief
*change the world for the worse…we dont need more screens or technology.
We need more human connection, deep relationships, being outside, etc.
@sweatystartup
How to select a supportive spouse:
1- Shared values & commitments
2- Done their own personal work, so they are interdependent NOT codependent
3- Communicates their emotions & expectations effectively
4- Has a passion and a purpose of their own (not tied to you or your
@SMB_Attorney
I put my phone away 4pm-6pm to be present with kiddos.
I prioritize sleep, 9pm-5am
Groceries- Instacart
Time for myself 5am-6am & any evenings from 7pm-9pm if no plans and my wife's tank is filled
We deprioritize sporting events as this likely creates a rushed, busy family
@realEstateTrent
This is my professional opinion as a therapist and a parent of 4 young kids. Talk them through it. Allow BIG feelings. Have a fun ceremony to go along with it. Expect the unexpected (they may take it really hard or may be no big deal, have no way of knowing). Also like any grief
@LeadershipAcad1
Did her performance ever slip?
Did she not fulfill her responsibilities to you?
If she was awesome, but just happened to be crushing it at another place as well, I say you made the wrong move.
Urgent need for a close friend!
Praying the community on 𝕏 can help.
Hannah ran a marathon before mothers day and then went into critical kidney failure afterwards.
They have 4 little ones.
3 things we are seeking help for:
1- Prayer
2- Donations
3- A kidney transplant
@Camp4
Amazing!!! I wonder if the fall was actually the reason she was able to run much faster…the added adrenaline, cortisol, etc. Huberman or attia I imagine could speak to this.
@SahilBloom
@elonmusk
Crazy that we get to talk with, offer suggestions and get feedback from one of the richest/most successful people on the planet. X is unmatched!!
@FranchiseMnA
We homeschool our 4 kiddos...I think its growing in popularity because most other schooling choices are a complete disaster (public school being the worst).
The whole system and model is broken.
@adamislucky
I got 4 under 5…my thoughts:
Routine
Structure
Age appropriate communication
Great diet
Exercise
Play
Limit screens
Good sleep
Discipline
Grace
DM for details but those are the key ingredients.
We are pretty weird
No health insurance
Home schooling
No pharmaceuticals
No to TV
Yes to sleep training
No vaccines
Yes to whole organic foods
Yes to spanking
Yes to reading all kinds of things
No to politics
Yes to accountability & ownership
Yes to capitalism
Yes to
My worst investment to date- Everest Ice Machine
I didn't do my DD. I listened to one of the business gurus.
It is currently sitting at a liquor store unplugged.
Never made a dime.
@bhallcpa
My first thought was buying another persons beer for $30 to not have to wait in line
2nd thought was buying out the entire place and raising prices to $35 lol
Great illustration of the bigger problem. We definitely need more supply.
Pet peeve-
How do you respond when a friend texts, “call me when you get a sec”
My gut reaction is to text, “whats up”, but that can seem rude
I hate not knowing the agenda nor length of a phone call unless its just to connect
Just received a cease and desist along with a trademark violation for the main logo for our plumbing company, which is a franchise…came through certified mail…this should be interesting.
@sweatystartup
The “stats” show that only 1/8 of those “couples” will remain together long term. Cohabitation before marriage is a death sentence for the relationship.
@sweatystartup
Amen, just spoke to my wife about how I want our kids to be great at a trade by 18. If they start a business/trade in early teens, they are light years ahead of peers.
@hiringfirm
Those are great solutions.
For me its all about performance. If they can exceed expectations, then they "deserve" the autonomy and flexibility to do what they wish for the remaining hours.
@seandsweeney
Super important to keep sharing & to note that you were “smiling” while depressed aka we can hide it and so we need to keep creating a community where its ok to ask & share.
We made it
Traveled for 12 hours with 4 kiddos 5 & under yesterday
No spankings
No tears (except watching brother bear)
No potty accidents
1 lost water bottle (not a stanley thank goodness)
8000 spilled & crushed snacks
3 amazing pizzas
4 laws broken
1 Marriage still intact
@TRUmav
How do you vet the camp & camp “counselors”?
I have heard of way to many stories of sexual abuse that occurs during these camps.
Safety would be my biggest concern.
@sweatystartup
I appreciate this sentiment- you have to consider your emotional bandwidth and the needs of your children…i have 4(stopping there) our neighbor has 6, and half of their kids arent seen and their relational needs arent met and although they are being raised in similar values to
- Married Junior High Crush 2015
- Grad school 2018
- Licensed PsychoTherapist 2018
- Quit W2 to launch own practice and REPE 2021
- Scaling Airbnb Fund 2023
- In between have 4 kids under 5
@RyanDanz
Whats the math or reasoning or evidence that shows that going from 2 to 3 people sleeping in a room dramatically reduces safety?
Seems like size, layout, and overall general preparedness would factor in a lot more.
@RyanHoliday
Solution to each
1- go to bed earlier & optimize sleep
2- release worry & focus on what you can control
3- surround yourself with people with similar goals and values
4- address internal barriers towards eliminating people pleasing
5- acknowledge the reality of death, and pursue

This is just bad click bait...these markets are completely different than 15 years ago as well as this market downturn is completely different.
@sweatystartup
Dont try and make it funny.
Try to make it something everyone will remember because of the honor, respect and love you showed him/them.
Add in humor as the cherry, not the cake.
PS, you are already a funny person, so you dont need to think about this part.
@sweatystartup
In my town, most uber drivers are either immigrants or refugees and really no matter how terrible unless its a safety issue, I don't have it in me to give them a low rating.
@george__mack
Agree with a lot of your conclusions and takes.
Like most things, the argument comes down to definitions.
If an Adult=a human who has it all figured out
You are correct, Adults dont exist.
However if an Adult= a connected, regulated, responsible and moral human…those
My little man fell off his bike real bad, now we are in the hospital
Yet he is all smiles as he got some hot wheels after blood work. He is a champ!
Prayers appreciated!

@shawngorham
I am curious what your threshold would be for “crazy”, or if it is mostly about context-if someone was gifted 1B to buy a house on Mars & then 1M a month to live there is that crazy or just “a lot” because its Mars? (Referring back to your So cal context).
@SMB_Attorney
2 biggest reasons...
In monopoly the threats of Jail and Bankruptcy are "fake" and its just a game...where as in real life those 2 are some of the worst outcomes for a person.
@RobertMSterling
A) is the best choice
B) is pretty useless
C) temping but you have to allocate that and that comes with risk, plus the unmarked xfactor is risky af
D) funny
@girdley
2- The dealer/servicer- low overhead, immense scale possible
4- The contractor using it- could have tremendous ROI, great businesses use these,
3-The rental company- high overhead, middleman
1- The manufacturer of the lift- overhead, high AP/AR window, supply chain and logistic
@markbrooks
Hey Mark, Im Tanner, I love chipotle, podcasts and my family. I noticed you have some sweet shoes, where did you get those?
Use names, intro yourself, compliment and be curious.
@moseskagan
Amen And dont spend too much time thinking about which “thing” to pick
A lot of people spend 10-15 years switching and analyzing instead of getting to work
It wont be something that changes the world
It might not be what you love (initially) or what you are passionate about or
@TylerPurcell24
Hot take- You dont need to bathe your children every day and you don't need to do it at night
Our bed time routine with 4 under 5 with little to no hassle (its still crazy compared to having no kiddos lol)
5:45pm- Bedtime warning goes out (to help them settle into the idea)
@FranchiseMnA
Couldnt tell you as we dont do the usual tests…we are “creating a new system”
I can tell you my kids are kind, confident, problem solvers.
In my opinion test scores are not helpful.
@jspujji
Generally
Religion is focused on community, outward conformity, tradition, morality
Spiritual is focused inward, self expression, relative truth, acceptance
@moseskagan
As well as the buildings or your career are not your identity.
Going broke does not mean you are a failure or people dont love you.
You are loved outside of your performance & IRR
Most of us are on a quest to achieve
something.
We have drive and ambition.
Here are 5 quotes from Business “legends” that warn us about the accumulation of wealth.
A reminder to reflect on what we are pursuing or driving towards.
