Running a DTC & DR company you really have to hammer home the basics. too many choices for customers are a bad thing. You actually must lead them in the direction you want them to choose for your product. Dropped this screenshot of @craigclemens in our slack to drive it home.

There is still an abundance (infinite) amount of good in this universe. Go out and get it yourself. Harvest your own food, go workout and meditate. Guranteed feel-good vibes regardless of what is being said out there. P.s. if you can’t open a coconut... learn.

Our 13 y/o pup has been having some stomach issues. At 5:45 am she shot out of bed like a goddamn cannon. I immediately woke up, tried to avoid another poop carpet clean. Mission failed. Man down. #blockorcharge @RexChapman

In 2000, Florida made the term "Hanging Chad" a thing. Now in 2019, everyone here is talking about "The Turn"

Hey coach @3YearLetterman does this work for a downfield block?
Not winning parents of the year by laughing at the chop block. And the taunt at the end 😂 @RexChapman block or charge?

Finally something vegans and carnivores can all agree on... Vegan Roadkill is way better for everyone involved. #roadsideguacamole

This is too goddamn amazing, too goddamn real, too goddamn relatable. Love it!
1- I get asked all the time how my wife and I get it all done. It’s pretty easy. Here’s the secret: At 5:30 my wife wakes up and goes to CrossFit. She can now do more pull ups than I can. I sleep in because this makes me sad. The longer I dream the less I have to think about it.
Twitter on Monday morning...

I am liberal. Voted HRC. I also run a publishing business focused on creating content & books. Most left-leaning sites never return calls, emails, tweets. Folks on the right have been more welcoming & open recently. Left can learn from this. Be more open. Thanks @cernovich

I have a very successful online publishing business. But that never gets in the way of the good old fashioned "give" Making amazing products & selling them is one of the best feelings of accomplishment any entrepreneur can have. But occasional giving? Gives back in multitudes.

Meditation literally shifted my entire mindset on life and gave me a complete mete-perspective and radical openness. It will do the same for you. Lots of people loving our new meditation book. Just a few of these left in the office. Let me know if you want a free copy.

Being a book publisher is not always the easiest. Of course getting sales is amazing, but I still, to this day get excited when our new titles come in. Anyone want a free copy? I have a few to give away.

If people spend an entire day mocking and making fun of an inspirational and successful human being, that human being is doing something realllllllly right in this world. #keepdoingyou @naval

what are you doing on a Friday night? I am reviewing P&L's (profit and loss statements) for Q2 vs Q1 of 2018. If you own a biz, run a biz, want to to both, get used to this. While everyone is out drinking, partying, TGIFing, real entrepreneurs grind it the fuck out. @schm7dt

I saw a woman in a motorized wheelchair crossing the street at a stoplight today. She had her two kids riding on the back on some sort of make shift standing device. As she started to cross, she turned back around to stay safe on the sidewalk because..,

her crossing walk light turned red. I made my turn left and as I drove past I saw two women, early 30’s in a brand new Range Rover pointing, laughing and recording video on their iPhones of that woman in the wheelchair. All I could do was honk at the Range Rover...

Summertime means kiddos all over the house. So I’m working from the boat cabin today.

Having a "vision" is nice in theory of growing a business. Building a business with systems, process and team that can flip and pivot to opportunities when you see them can reap even more massive rewards. Make that your vision.
