I keep thinking about something Cameron Diaz said, that... aging is a privilege. Not everyone gets the chance to grow older. 39 gave me so much. My family, my health, a baby on the way, and another year to show up for the people in my life. 40 isn't something I'm bracing for. It's something I get to do. And I don't take that lightly. Grateful doesn't begin to cover it. #womenshealth #womeninfitness #mieshatateshow more

Happy Father's Day, Dad. I miss you so much,... there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I keep thinking each year that it will get easier, but the truth is it doesn't. I want to show you all my accomplishments and how far l've come despite the challenges I've faced. I know you are there in spirit, and that brings me a sense of comfort. I know there are so many qualities within myself that you've given me. I'm so proud of you for the man you were. Every time I run into one of your friends I keep expecting to hear a story that changes my opinion of the angel that you were, but instead I'm even more validated each time of the humble amazing soul you were. You've protected me in life and death and that's something I'II be forever grateful for. Thank you for showing me what true love is by the way you treated my Mom. It's because of you, that I don't settle, you were her Prince Charming and I know one day I'll find mine too. ❤️🙏🏼🇲🇽show more

Today, I graduated from Stanford with my masters in... law, with a focus in law, science, and technology. I expended considerable time exploring how to add value to emerging companies by advising them throughout their lifecycles, specifically on raising venture capital and licensing intellectual properties and technologies. I hope to spend the foreseeable future deepening my expertise in these areas. For the Stanford journey, I must start with gratitude. First, I am grateful for my parents, siblings and family who supported me through everything. I am grateful for my former employers who invested heavily in my growth, played a substantial part in Stanford happening, and in whom I found another family. I am especially grateful for my friends (including those I made at Stanford) who have overwhelmed me with love and support that I do not think I deserve. I am grateful for my colleagues, with whom I have shared this journey, and who have blessed me with their knowledge and experiences. I am grateful for all my mentors and professional connections whose benevolence towards me have never run dry. I am grateful for my professors and the Stanford academic faculty who have shared their knowledge with me and have challenged me intellectually, and finally, I am grateful to God, for the invisible hand in how my life has played out over the past year. At the ceremony, my friend Ana Julia – who spoke on behalf of the class – said we already made it before we arrived for this program. That is true, because the program is a gathering of highly exceptional people from different parts of the world, and with different experiences. Having been privileged to spend the last one year with these people, I will go on from here knowing that I mean something. I am something. And I will devote my time to leading with my humanity and advocating for positive change in the world. I charge you to do the same.show more

I have this idea to add a body positivity... pep talk to my podcast on Fridays I’ve struggled with my own body image, comments people have made irl and online, and in my own mind. Slowly, I’m learning that my body is my instrument to create the symphony of my life, to pursue what I’m passionate about, and to make meaning with. This is my one vessel to pursue my life’s purpose with and that is not something I should take lightly or berate. I also shouldn’t tolerate it from others. That means treating my body like a sacred place that deserve reverence for the ways in which it allows me to externalize my heart- because few things matter more than that.show more

I can't believe I can finally make cartoons like... the ones I grew up with 😍 Characters like the bashful Beaky Buzzard and Henery Hawk mean so much to me, and I'm so excited to bring that inspiration into new stories for today's audience. Getting to return to a passion I never gave up on, after living a life that didn't let me pursue it the way I wanted to, means everything to me. Runway changed my life.show more

ni-ki said that through LIMBO, he also wanted to... showcase his falsetto that we don't get to hear often 🥹 🐥: fans tend to really like my lower voice, so i wanted to fully showcase that charm in the cover. 🐥: at the same time, i also wanted to let people hear my falsetto, which i dont get to show very often. 🐥: rather than trying to completely transform my image and present something totally new, i think i focused on showing the side of me that ENGENEs already like, just for a little longer. #NI_KI #니키 #ニキshow more

The past year has seen me have a renaissance,... in the truest sense… I won’t go into details now but will at some point before long. What has brought so much happiness to my life and those around me this past year has been my falling back in love with sport. Cycling has, and always will be, my number one. Yet I’d forgotten that I simply love sport, not for results but for the sheer joy of doing it, I’d completely forgotten that the health of my mind is intrinsically connected to the health of my body. I’ve rediscovered the love I had for sport that existed before the world of professional cycling took over in the way it did. I’ve been pushing myself and trying new things this past year, indifferent to the results, just out having fun and at times going deeper than I thought I was capable of anymore. Last week I got on a TT bike for the first time in a decade, Factor Bikes built me a bike, I’ve been looking at it for two years and decided it was time to get fitted, getting back on it felt like going home. Anyway, the long and the short of this is that it’s inspired me to create a club to inspire and be inspired. A community for us to share our love for getting out there and doing it, because I’ve realized that although I spend most of my sporting life on my own I derive the most pleasure when feeling part of something. It’s in its early days, I’ve called it Sporting Club CHPT3 aka SCC3, I’d love you to check it out and join. It’s still in its infancy, but I hope it’s going to grow into something that will inspire you as much as me.show more

Christian Gonzalez responded to Robert Kraft’s comments about the... Patriots’ contract offer: “A ton of respect for Mr. Kraft and what he’s done for this franchise. It's just something we don't want to handle in the media. I keep that with the team and my team, and go on about that.”show more

What an unbelievable honour to receive an MBE! Music... has been my life and I’ve been very lucky to share this journey with many amazing people and fans, and I’m very grateful for all the support along the way. It's been a privilege doing something I love and then to see that music connect with so many over the years. And, to be able to help raise money for charities close to my heart has meant the world to me. Thank you, Tony (MBE!)show more

Yunjin talking about the lyrics of "So Cynical (Badum)"... and singing the original verses of the song she wrote "It's cool to not care, but in my eyes I feel like, why don't you say that you like something. If you like something, then you should say it instead of acting like you don't care. Sometimes it's cool to be nonchalant, but I think it's also important to be transparent especially about the positive things. So if you like something—I want to be honest about emotions, instead of going through social media and only letting red hearts and double clicks being your way of emotional connection" "You know, I also used to be super cynical and I used to also hide my emotions, but you (FEARNOTs) changed that for me, you know? Like, you make me want to be more honest about my emotions, and you make me feel like I'm worthy of love and I'm deserving of love."show more

Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful birthday... and outfit debut today! 💜 I had so much fun showing off this amazing fit and indulging in the chaotic collab that followed. You all mean the world to me, and without all of you, I probably wouldn't be here. This year has been crazy for me. It's wild how much my life and mental health have changed since I started streaming, not just thanks to the growth and support of my community, but also all the friends I have made along the way. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all! Every single one of you that have been a part of this new life of mine; giving me something to look forward to every single day. This is only the beginning, I promise! 💜show more

Yaxel Lendeborg on what he’s going to do this... summer to prepare for next season: “I keep hearing that my hips are stiff, so I got to figure out how to loosen up my hips. A lot of I’ve been hearing too is like a point-of-attack defender, something like that. So I want to try to work on those two things, just the little things to fix that up. And then just continue to start shooting the ball consistently and get a quicker release so I can get it off a little better.”show more

Back when I had nothing… I was a nobody... to most people. TBH, my parents didn't even see me getting to where I am today. It's just the truth, the chips were stacked for my sister. Not me. But it's just not the reality today. However, there was ONE person in my life that didn’t see me that way. My significant other saw something in me before a lot of things. Before all my wins. Before the $. Before any proof. And honestly… that means a lot to me, if not the most of all. I’ve always been wired a little different. I’m a mix of finance, engineering, and tech, with a sprinkle of obsession. I learned and studied from the best. Warren Buffett for how to invest. Elon Musk for work ethic and where the future is going. And once I saw it… I went all in. Bc when you truly understand what you own… you don’t need 20 bets. What you really need is conviction and just a few bets. That’s how I approached everything in my life. All the way from Apple… to Tesla… to 𝕏… to xAI… and now SpaceX. I believe I have an eye for spotting the best entrepreneurs and companies early, before it becomes obvious to everyone. And when I see it, I back it 100%. That’s just who I am. I don’t need a big circle. I’ve already got my day ones. I don’t need approval. I grew up my whole life with doubt and hate, so what’s one more? At this point, the levels are just too different. And yeah… it's true, it actually gets harder to make new friends when you’re moving like this. So I stay loyal to the ones who were there when I had nothing. I made it with Apple - youngest in, youngest out. Then I made it with Tesla… while people were laughing, doubting, calling me crazy, telling me I was going to go bankrupt with Elon. Fast forward to today, now I'm heading into something even bigger. If the story plays out the way it’s shaping up… SpaceX could have the largest IPO in history this year. The company is talking about raising over $75B… at a $1.75-$2 trillion valuation. For context… the biggest IPO ever - Saudi Aramco - raised about $29B. This would be more than double that. Let that sink in deep. To me this is more than just an investment. This is owning a piece of the future of space, energy, AI... extending the light of consciousness forward in case something happens to Earth. People can call me crazy. People can call me cocky. Arrogant. But the people that actually know me know the truth - I’m just real AF. I say what I believe, and I stand on it. And I genuinely don’t care what people think. I have two middle fingers always held high for those kind of people. That’s probably why I’ve been able to win the way I have. My significant other tells me to slow down sometimes. And I get it. But for me… What’s the point of life if you play it safe? If you see an opportunity that can change everything… and you just sit back? That’s not me. I’d rather go all in on something I believe in… live with intensity… take the hits… and actually feel alive and live life with fulfillment. Laugh if you want, doubt if you want. Some play it safe, a few go all in. You can call it risky. You can call it stupid. You can call it crazy. I call it living. Bc at the end of the day, I'd rather go all in on something I believe in and fail... than spend my life wondering "what if."show more
