MONDAY
How To Exploit The Four Pillars of Modern Leverage
Written by Michael Lim
The world runs on leverage. Exploit it or be exploited by it.
TUESDAY
Before you plan next year, do this one thing
Written by Lizzie Mulherin
Self-doubt is a clue, not a stop sign.
WEDNESDAY
collecting memories, not milestones
Written by Marco Marquez
Life isn't about being Thanos, collecting milestones like infinity stones.
THURSDAY

Written by Amy Roberts
We are the proverbial fish, oblivious to the water we swim in.
FRIDAY
If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?
Written by Adam Singer
True wealth lies not in escape but in presence: being in shape and having enough time to climb a hill and enjoy the view, having friends and family who laugh at your jokes, doing work that directly creates real things.
SATURDAY
I was a writer and an influencer. I am still a writer.
Written by Dia Lupo
I knew nothing about how the world worked but I knew that I was born to write. That I could spin my lowly existence into emerald silk and perhaps, one day, it would be worn by someone important.
FIN
Thankful for love to share, health to spare, and friends who care.
