An idea that I can't stop thinking about: The Capability Gap Alabama coach Nick Saban refers to the Capability Gap in this clip from a discussion with Holly Rowe: "We oftentimes talk about what someone's potential is, but I think to put it in better terms...the Capability Gap is what you're capable of relative to what you're doing...if you understand the truth about that, you can actually take information that can help you close that gap." The Capability Gap is a simple idea with powerful implications across all areas of your life. It requires an understanding of: 1. Your full capability 2. Your current delivery In my experience, I would argue that most people underestimate their full capability and overestimate their current delivery. In other words, they think their Capability Gap is very small, when in reality it's much larger than they realize. Having mentors, coaches, friends, and family members who help you see the truth about your full capability and keep you honest on your current level of delivery is everything. This isn't about sports, this is about your life: Do you have people in your life who help you think bigger about what you're capable of? Do you have people in your life who tell you that your current delivery isn't good enough? We all need those people in our lives. We need people who push us to get uncomfortable, to think bigger, and to be better. We need people who push us to be better partners, parents, friends, siblings, colleagues, community members, and leaders. Find the people who tell you the two truths: 1. What you're truly capable of 2. What you're currently delivering on Identify your Capability Gap and then work relentlessly to close it! If you enjoyed this or learned something, share it with others and follow me Sahil Bloom for more in future!

There are 2 big mistakes in life: 1. Worrying about what other people think about you. 2. Believing that other people think about you in the first place. Harsh Truth: Most people don’t care about you. The Spotlight Effect says that we overestimate the degree to which other people are noticing our actions or behaviors. This is liberating—stop worrying about what others think, do you, and live according to your values.

Knowing your nature is critically important to understanding what success is for you. I can't tell you literally what is best for you, but I can tell you that success is not having a lot more money or status than you need. Having the time and freedom to do what you most want to do is far more important. What is success for most people? It is a matter of having meaningful work and meaningful relationships. If you can make your work and your passion one and the same, and do it with people who you care about and care about you, you will have a happy, successful life.

"You can either produce excellence or you can avoid criticism. But you cannot do both of those. The reason that you don't have certain excellence that you want is because you are afraid of getting criticized. You are afraid of the judgment that comes with it. You are afraid of standing out. You are afraid of being alone. You are afraid of people looking at you. You are worried about what people think of you. There are 2 categories of things in this world: 1) Things that are up to you 2) Things that are not up to you Which category does your reputation sit in? Your reputation is not up to you. I'm the one who associates your reputation with something, not you. You just do things. What's up to you? How you act. Your decisions. Your actions. That is up to you. Your reputation is not up to you. Here's how I know that: You all have a reputation about me and it's not in my control. I get to say and do whatever I say and do up here. I am in control of saying it. I am in control of doing it. The moment words leave my lips, who has control over what is done with those words? You! You are in control of what you think of me. And there's no way everybody in this room is going to think the exact same thing about me. No way. When it comes to exceptional, what we've got to understand is you can spend your whole life trying to avoid criticism and earn reputation, and it still won't be in your control. We can waste a lot of time missing out on excellence we could have been producing if we were just simply LESS trying to engineer what we wanted other people to think about us."

Status is interesting because it lives in the minds of other people. You don’t get to decide how much status you have. You can’t just say, “Hey, everyone, I have high status.” People will say, “Prove it.” And they’re the ones who get to decide. So why do we care about status? There’s a neuroscientist I really like, Michael Gazzaniga, who says that when you get up in the morning, you think about status. You think about where you stand in relation to other people. There’s actually a lot of research in neuroscience on what happens when the mind is at rest—when you’re not focused on a task and your thoughts start to drift. Scientists call this the “default mode network.” It’s a set of brain regions that become active when your mind is wandering. What’s striking is that these regions overlap with the ones involved in thinking about your social world—how you’re seen, how others are seen, where you fit in, how you’re evaluated. So when we have free time, when our minds wander, what do we think about? We think about exactly what Gazzaniga is pointing to. Status isn’t some abstract concern. It’s the background hum of thought, the thing your mind returns to when nothing else is demanding your attention.

Chris Williamson shared a difficult truth about changing your life that most people never talk about. “If you do it well, you might have to go through a period where you let go of all of your friends. But the really bad realization is if you do it really well, you might have to do that multiple times throughout your life.” He explains that every major transformation comes with hard decisions and most people think the hardest part of growth is taking the first step. It isn’t. The hardest part is realizing that every major chapter of your life may require you to leave behind people, places, and versions of yourself that no longer align with who you’re becoming. “If you’ve truly changed, don’t expect every friendship to come with you. Sometimes growth means finding your people more than once.” Every meaningful change eventually forces the same question: “Do I want to move forward on my own, or do I want to go back with my friends?” One of the most honest conversations I’ve heard about why so few people actually change.

Many in white America hate when Black people talk about race, but their whole political model is designed to help one race over everyone else. It’s all a mind game. Trying to trick you into thinking something is wrong with you talking about your history and heritage. They don’t want you to discuss your history because it proves that the stories they tell are lies. Black America isn’t asking you to feel bad for the past, we are demanding that you be true to what you said on paper! We aren’t ignoring the transgressions of your generation that align with the actions of your ancestors. We also know that if we are to maintain the freedoms we fought for it requires us to tell the truth on America. This is why I’m never apologizing for talking about race, or demanding more from this nation, our state, and local governments. I will continue to fight for and protect Black people, live in a Black community, support Black business, and love on Black people out loud. I won’t ever stop believing in the brilliance of Black people. And if you have no issue with his comments you should is have none with mine. We should all be able to be proud of our heritage right? It’s not our fault rapist, murders, and human traffickers is your heritage. But they were good Americans right? Those who know better, do better. Share if you care 🦾

Peters: You talk about standards, you talk about raising, or that we have a problem of standards in the DOD, and we have to raise standards for the men and women who serve. Do you think that the way to raise the minimum standards of the people who serve us is to lower the standards for the secretary of defense, that we have someone who has never managed an organization more than 100 people?

Idc if you like Donald J. Trump or not the man is a father, a husband, a human being. He’s never harmed you. If you’re one of the people who think what happened yesterday is okay or “he deserved it” you’re a sick person, and need help. How about you stop being a vile human being and start doing what you can to make this a better country instead of thinking it relies on who is/is not our President. Participate in American democracy or continue to be the reason it is no longer.

Nick Saban shares what transformational leadership really looks like and the trap most leaders fall into. "If you're in any kind of managerial position, I think you should define your job the same way: Provide the leadership to develop the relationships to help people create and accomplish the opportunities that they have, and help them establish the discipline they need to do it." Then he broke down what leadership actually is: "Leadership is about helping somebody else, affecting somebody else for their benefit. Not for your benefit - for their benefit." "If you're doing it for your benefit, it's manipulation. And people can see right through that." That's the line right there... Leadership serves others. Manipulation serves yourself. "You gotta develop a relationship, because they gotta know you care. Hard to affect people if they don't think you care about them." Then he called out where most leaders spend their time: "How do you spend all your time? If you're a manager, you spend all your time with the people who don't do the right things. I call them energy vampires." "We got 5 guys on our team - they don't go to class, they don't do the right thing in practice, they loaf all the time. Those are the guys I meet with every day. They're energy vampires." So he made a commitment: "I'm gonna meet with 3 guys who didn't do anything wrong every day to see how they're doing. To make sure they know I care about them, their family, and what's happening in their life." "I wanna have a relationship with those people, so that when I need to affect them, I have a chance to do it." "People gotta know you care. If they think you only care about yourself, they're gonna think you're just a manipulator and you're not really going to affect them in a positive way." "You gotta serve other people." The core of servant leadership is wanting to see others at their best. It's not about control, it's about serving others. (🎥 CBT Automotive)

Frank Slootman: “Being a CEO is a highly confrontational role” “I’ve gone one record a few times and people have taken me to task on it, when I’ve said that being a CEO is a highly confrontational role. But they think that ‘confrontational’ means I’m grabbing people by the lapels and slamming them against the wall and yelling. That’s not what I mean by confrontation.” The former CEO of Snowflake and ServiceNow continues: “Confrontation is about confronting issues and situations. When you see something that is either not good, not good enough, or can be better, you need to talk to the team and people responsible to bring them along in your thinking.” In Frank’s view, the framing should be: “this is why I am saying this, what do you think?” The goal of the conversation is to help them see the problems you’re seeing. You should be driving them to a “higher level of aspiration,” he explains. “I often start the conversation with, ‘How do you think things are going?’ I’m not telling them ‘you suck,’ or ‘things are terrible.’ Let them talk. And then you can say, ‘Well what about this?’ And all of a sudden, the perspective has opened up and changed. So the challenge is bringing them along in your thinking — then it’s not confrontational… Obviously there’s finesse and subtlety. You’re dealing with people. You don’t want to destroy them. You want to build them, not bring them down.” You need to help them grow: “People have a tendency to go sideways. They rinse and repeat and keep doing the same things. You can’t in a high-growth company. You need to become a different version of yourself. I’m trying to help them think through that. What does that look like? What does your organization look like a year from now versus what it looks like today?… In other words, stimulate their thinking. Challenge them to think about what they should do differently next week. Is that confrontation? Yes it is, but it’s dressed up in a way that it engages people.” Frank believes founders should be doing this every single week. Source: Foundation Capital (Nov 2024)

Joe Mazzulla says his goal as Celtics coach is to be forgotten “If the people around you didn’t do what they do… I wouldn’t do anything. The thing I reflect on the most is… I think you have to be willing to be forgotten. I think that’s kind of my main goal.” “I want to be forgotten about. Because that means after you… It was better. I think that’s what it means to be a Celtic. However long you play, coach, work for the Celtics…” “Your job is to keep it exactly where it’s at or bring it better. You cannot bring it down. If you leave and it gets worse, that’s your fault. If you leave and they win, and they forgot about you, you did your job.” “I talk about that every day with the staff. Our job is to one day be forgotten about because you did your job. It became about something bigger than you.” “It’s a burden and a love for being with the Celtics… But it’s a responsibility. I think we could take that into our daily life. Can I leave it so much better that they don’t remember me because the next person came and was better?”

Jimmy Carr nailed it: Comedy lives in the massive gap between what people say in public and what they actually think in private. Right now that gap is wider than ever. The official “acceptable” opinions are strict, yet in bars, homes, and private chats, people say very different things. He asked the revealing question: “If you want to see where power really lives, what can’t you say in a society?” It’s one of the best ways to understand the current cultural moment. What topic do you think has the biggest gap between what people say publicly and what they really believe privately?

a16z co-founder Ben Horowitz: “Don’t follow your passion” Ben gives this advice to the Columbia University class of 2015: “Don’t follow your passion. Now I know you’re probably thinking: ‘That’s a really dumb idea because if you poll 1,000 people who are successful, they’ll all say they love what they do. And so the broad conclusion of the world is that if you do what you love, then you’ll be successful.’ But we’re engineers, so we know that might be true. It also might be the case that if you’re successful, you love what you do — you just love being successful, everybody loves you, it’s awesome. So which one is it?” He continues: “The first tricky thing about passions is they’re hard to prioritize. Are you more passionate about math or engineering? Are you more passionate about history or literature? Are you more passionate about video games or K-pop? These are tough decisions. How do you even know? On the other hand, what are you good at? Are you better at math or writing? That’s a much easier thing to figure out. The second thing that’s tricky if you’re going forward in time with this ‘follow your passion’ idea is that what you’re passionate about at 21 is not necessarily what you’re going to be passionate about at 40. Now this is true for boyfriends, as well as career choices. The third issue with following your passion is that you’re not necessarily good at your passion. Has anybody ever watched American Idol? So you know what I’m talking about. Just because you love singing doesn’t mean you should be a professional singer. And then finally, and most importantly, following your passion is a very ‘me-centered’ view of the world. And when you go through life, what you’ll find is that what you take out of the world — money, cars, stuff, accolades — is much less important than what you put into the world. And so my recommendation would be to follow your contribution. Find the thing that you’re great at, put that into the world, contribute to others, help the world be better. That is the thing to follow.” Video source: a16z (2015)

a16z co-founder Ben Horowitz: “Don’t follow your passion” Ben gives this advice to the Columbia University class of 2015: “Don’t follow your passion. Now I know you’re probably thinking: ‘That’s a really dumb idea because if you poll 1,000 people who are successful, they’ll all say they love what they do. And so the broad conclusion of the world is that if you do what you love, then you’ll be successful.’ But we’re engineers, so we know that might be true. It also might be the case that if you’re successful, you love what you do — you just love being successful, everybody loves you, it’s awesome. So which one is it?” He continues: “The first tricky thing about passions is they’re hard to prioritize. Are you more passionate about math or engineering? Are you more passionate about history or literature? Are you more passionate about video games or K-pop? These are tough decisions. How do you even know? On the other hand, what are you good at? Are you better at math or writing? That’s a much easier thing to figure out. The second thing that’s tricky if you’re going forward in time with this ‘follow your passion’ idea is that what you’re passionate about at 21 is not necessarily what you’re going to be passionate about at 40.

Alan Cassels just revealed a shocking truth about the medical system that no one is talking about. Your annual wellness checkup is not making you healthier. It’s literally making you sicker. “You’re medicalizing healthy people.” “It seems like it’s just a sales funnel.” Listen to Cassels break down the studies that expose the truth about wellness checkups: “The annual checkup has been studied quite rigorously since about 1975.” “Do people who go to their doctor when they’re perfectly healthy every year for an annual checkup live longer and healthier lives?” “When you study that in a good controlled trial, you find actually the opposite.” “People who submit themselves to the wellness check become more and more worried about their health because suddenly they’re living life under a dark cloud.” “Somebody told them, ‘You have high cholesterol.’” “Or, ‘Your blood pressure is borderline.’” “Or, ‘Your bone density is possibly not what it should be.’” “If you are actually sick, you have symptoms of something, and you need to get it checked out.” “But if you’re an otherwise healthy person living a normal life, the doctor is not going to make your life better.” Alan Cassels Jeffrey A Tucker

🚨 JUST IN: SecWar Pete Hegseth says it PERFECTLY to the National Guard troops in DC while leftist protestors yell and smear them for protecting America "It's people like you who ignore the NOISE and you do your job — and you do it with courage and you do it professionalism and you do it because you love your country." "Which is why you raise your right hand in the first place. It's why you put this uniform on to begin with." "It's because you, this town, loves to talk about elites and there's a lot of famous people in this town. But when I talk about elites, I'm talking about all of you." "The real 1%, the real 1% of America who raised your right hand to serve something bigger than yourself when you could have done anything else." "And then you do the difficult tough job that no one else is willing to do. And you stand beside law enforcement here and you ensure that our capital is safe and secure. It's a righteous and beautiful mission." "And what an honor it is to stand with you in the 250th year of our great republic!" 🇺🇸

“If you make the effort to do the best of which you’re capable, trying to improve the situation that exists for you, I think that’s success and I don’t think others can judge that. Your reputation is what you’re perceived to be, your character is who you really are,” John Wooden
