The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection. With your customers, with your suppliers, with your loved ones, with your self (big idea there).

Commit to insanely great relationships (Steve Jobs coined the “insanely great” standard BTW - I adore it) and you”ll have an insanely great life. And being a great human connector is pretty easy stuff. Remember, success is all about a precise consistency around fundamentals.

Take Care of Your Relationships and the Money Will Take Care of Itself

So seductive to spend your finest hours climbing mountains that, at the end, turn out to be the wrong ones.

I want you to experience an uncommon life. One where you feel fully alive, release your chains, display your gifts and help the world.

So kindly remember…

The true leader–the genuine world-builder–lives to the point. Acutely concentrated on the few high priorities that will deliver the life of their greatest aspirations. At the end.

Most of my adult life I’ve been spreading this core message [long before it became cool]: impact is more valuable than income. And what matters most isn’t only how you live. It’s who you help. Personally–I’ve never been so invested in doing my part to serve as many people as possible. It’s a primary calling for any real A-Player. And I respectfully ask you to do the same.

So stop overthinking every move. Stop worrying about things that probably will never happen. Stop playing small with your brilliance. Stop being so terrified of reflection. And start living the way the best part of you knows you need to be living.

So at the end, you’ll have been fully human. And genuinely amazing.

The Most Essential Pursuit of a Legendary Life

Mastery takes massive practice, unrelenting patience and vast devotion. It’s a very difficult obsession. And one of the best commitments you can make.

The Greatest Danger of High Success

Had a conversation with an old friend the other day. He’s done some tremendous things with his business and carved out a tremendously meaningful life for himself. Said something that I wanted to share with you. Because it speaks to the best way to influence other people. Leadership by example.

“Robin,” he said. “The greatest sermon in life is the one you see.” To me, he meant make your life your message. Live your truth. Walk your values. Behave your philosophy.

So easy to talk a great game. Far harder to live it. But the best do. Elegantly. Consistently. Passionately.

There are two types of power: fake power and true power.

Fake power is fleeting, limited and fragile. Social standing, financial worth, positions and titles all come from this realm of power.

True power is much more substantial—and sustaining. It’s real and it’s honest and it lasts. Your natural creativity, productivity, bravery and decency belong to this universe of power.

At the current evolution point of our world, the majority reveres the first form. Those with the most social media followers, material objects and public adulation are considered to be the winners.

And yet, I deeply believe that the genuine heroes and the authentic titans are the very few who measure their greatness by the magic of their work, the size of their impact and by the purity of their character.

Yes our planet is dealing with a plague and wars and wildfires and social unrest. Yet, you have the true power to manage your mind, open your heart, upgrade your fitness and send your soul aflight with joy and service.

You do have this power. This I know to be true.

Lead You First

Russian military expert Andrei Martyanov discusses the dangers of American exceptionalism, globalism, and how our societies have become totalitarian. He explains how American military might was lost years ago and how Russia has not only become a peer competitor, but is decades ahead of the U.S. with a missile gap that has become a "technological abyss," possessing hypersonic weapons against which there is no defense (and which the U.S. does not have), air defense complexes (e.g. S-500s), and so on. True strength lies in possessing both an advanced physical economy together with first-rate military power. Russia has moved to a completely different tactical and operational paradigm. Conventionally, NATO and the U.S. can do nothing, Russia doesn't sweat them at all. The only war possible would be escalation to the nuclear threshold, but he believes there are enough smart people in Washington to prevent that. He comments on the disintegration of America culturally, and economically, which includes possibilities of hyperinflation and civil war. He believes the pandemic is a leverage points for the changeover of the old guard.

Andrei Martyanov: It's Game Over for the West #249

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts discusses US-Russia tensions and corona tyranny. He doesn't see how events in Kazakhstan could've been anything else but an attempted color revolution. While prior U.S. administrations in the 20th century worked to defuse tensions with Russia, Washington today is removing safeguards, not taking security talks seriously, and is expanding NATO and military installations. Russians feel they are threatened and are taking actions to ensure their security. These developments are extremely discouraging. At the start of the pandemic, he had no reason to question the CDC and NIH. However, over time he began to see holes in the narrative. He fears many people will be injured as a result of mass experimental vaccination and we may see social collapse. He believes there must be some sort of conspiracy and can't fathom the level of global coordination going on. The lockdowns have created inflation which has created serious problems for the U.S. dollar. We don't know what else they may release. There's a tremendous amount of evil at play. If things don't clear up this year, it may very well be the end of the world.

In a blatant violation of international law and its 1947 hosting agreement, the US government has blocked countries from participating in events at the UN headquarters in New York. The Biden administration is banning Russian diplomats, while the Trump admin illegally prohibited Venezuela and Iran.
