LIFE EXPECTANCY vs HEALTH SPENDING

If you made a mistake, apologize quickly. If you are confused, ask more questions. If you miss someone, reach out to them. If you appreciate someone, show them. If you want to feel lighter, forgive first. If you are stuck, ask others for help. If you love someone, tell them, now.

It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do. —Steve Jobs

Make a habit of reaching out to people just because they crossed your mind.

When someone has a strategy you don't understand or agree with, it's a good thing to ask yourself... What if it works?

Where you are now is based on the decisions you made 5-10 years ago. Where you will be in 5-10 years is based on the decisions you make now.

“The future belongs to the consistent. Not the talented. Not the lucky. But the ones who show up, even when it is hard. Show up. Effort does not betray you.”

Successful people start with two core beliefs: the future can be better than the present, and I have the power to make it so.

One of the big upsides of AI Agents for knowledge work is the ROI changes dramatically on a number of things that you couldn’t have done before. There’s tons of work that we don’t do today because we can’t justify the “fixed cost” of getting it going. Almost every new idea becomes a meeting, with follow ups, and more coordination tax. So you, rightfully, prioritize only the highest impact work, and pray that you’ve made the right call on what that is. AI Agents changes the calculus here. The product team can afford to prototype more ideas to see which one is better. The business analyst can comb through more customer data to find a hidden insight. The engineer can build features faster. The legal team can better support smaller customers. The product marketer can run more campaigns or test more messages to reach more customers. Some of these things won’t matter a ton, of course. But many will. And by lowering the cost of trying a new idea, testing a marketing message, or researching a market, companies will start to do far more than before or at least get to their next destination faster.

There’s nothing easier and better for your health than being kind to one another.
