RE: https://mstdn.social/@hkrn/117264890798907148 Much needed. When I was coaching my kid's soccer team 15 years ago, one kid had this mother who would go stand behind the other team's goal and shout trash talk. Not my only pathological-parent story… Related

NEW podcast episode is up! "Why Kids Can Learn 10x Faster Than We Think — @NielsHoven of @MentavaInc (Tim Coaching Session)" This episode is a bit different.

Eager kids are dramatically underserved by today’s education system, and Niels created Mentava to allow students to achieve their potential.

there is no better way to improve a business than dogfooding yourself which means treating myself as a client for the wellness coaching main problem i've been trying to help myself with mouth-breathing at night. things i've tried so far: - nasal rinse (tiny bit of salt + baking soda) - coconut oil in nostrils - humidifier and i think i've finally figured out what's going on... current theory is retainer is preventing me from forming a good "lip seal" (upper retainer pushing upper lip up, keeping mouth open) so next week's a/b experiment is to try sleeping without retainer and take notes Related

alright i have 2–3 spots left for a free 2-week energy experiment details: - no calls, just text check-ins - one new habit each week - text check-ins “The biggest value wasn’t the advice itself, it was the accountability… One habit in particular, eating a more substantial breakfast, had a noticeable impact on my energy throughout the day.” @_ScottC_ DM me “good energy” if you want a spot! energy Related

Their words
So I think the industry just has to reconfigure in so many ways that's like the customer is not the human anymore. It's like agents who are acting on behalf of humans and this refactoring will be will probably be substantial in a certain sense.

I’ve gotten really good at advocating for myself and will not hesitate to fire a doctor if I feel dismissed. It’s time-consuming, exhausting, and infuriating, but can also be life-saving. Quoting @chronicillness.bsky.social This is criminal. This is why medical gaslighting is deadly. Maybe just believe women for once. Related

Their words
I just realized the only 2 countries left with actual substantial startup activity now are literally only the US and China The rest of the world can't really do startups, doesn't have the funding, can't grow them and it's more like performative hobby projects for their governments Which might tell us where the future wealth will be concentrated in the world

I outline a bear case for China to @DouthatNYT: substantial numbers of the rich, the creative, and the desperate are eager to emigrate — the latter trekking across the southwestern US border. Whose great rejuvenation is this? And a scenario in which China wins: it doesn’t have to recreate American financial, cultural, and diplomatic power. If it succeeds narrowly at being a technological superpower, which it’s on track to do, it could militarily subdue the US while worsening America’s economic and political dysfunctions nytimes.com

So I've been experimenting with some 1:1 coaching, mostly from people who are close to FIRE but looking for a final checkup. Here are some of the things some people miss consistently: 1) If you're going to go to all the trouble of owning rental houses, the damned things should at least outperform the stock market. So make sure your cap rate is better than ~8% after all expenses. But this takes some skill, so I keep sending people to @CoachChadCarson's excellent all-in-one book on the subject, "The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor" 2) If you're going to invest in stocks, you should unders… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
