Michael Jordan reveals the decision framework his father taught him before his murder that he still uses every day: "The thing that I remember the most about my father, and I had him for 32 years, and I never look at it from a negative sense. Obviously he was...

Michael Jordan: "To win, you got to lose. To be happy, you got to have disappointment." "I really don't have regrets. As soon as you look back in your history and you come up with something you feel like you want to change, something else has to change." On disappointment: "To win, you got to lose. To be successful, you got to have something that's not successful. To be happy, you got to have disappointment. All of those things have evolved to make me who I am and understand the benefits and privileges I have for being who I am." Jordan shares what his parents taught him: "Don't wear your reputation. Don't wear your accolades. Don't wear your personality on your sleeve. Let it happen. Let it be you. It is who you are, don't hide from it. But don't rub it in people's faces." On being voted the greatest athlete: "It's ironic that I'm the youngest of the three. It's all relevant based on who is watching now. If you ask 20 years from now, I'm pretty sure LeBron may beat me based on who's going to be making the voting. I say that to understand: it is what it is. I don't wear it. I don't showcase it. Someone else's opinion. As an athlete, all you want to do is be the best athlete you can be." Jordan reflects on his father: "I had him for 32 years. Obviously, he was murdered. Rarely do I get the chance to talk about him. But the thing I remember, I think about him practically every day. For a person like myself, who lives in the spotlight and is so critical from people all the time, what I do, what I say, where I go, the thing he always said: 'Take a pause before you make a decision. And say: what if.'" He explains the purpose: "Whatever decision you make is always going to have consequences, pros and cons. If you think about the consequences, you make the right decisions. Now, all the decisions I made, other people may view them as not the right decisions from their perspective." Jordan addresses his "failed" baseball career: "Everybody says it was a failed opportunity to play baseball. That's what they think. For me, it was the best thing that could have happened. It allowed me to go back to the game with stronger passion. At the same time, I was able to understand the love these minor league baseball players have, making $1,500 a month. Which is nothing. But for them, it was big." He continues: "To see that helped me put things in perspective to understand the platform I was on in '93. When I went back to it in '95 and '96, I appreciated it even greater. When we won those championships, those things mattered to me far greater than what I did in '91, '92, '93. People don't see that. People will never understand that." Jordan shares the deeper lesson: "All they think about is, well, he batted .202, he struck out a certain number of times. Yeah, okay. But the effort was there. The learning curve and the passion was there. That has transcended not just to me, but to other people who are afraid to do things because they're worried about the perception from other places. To me, that's more gratifying than anything. That's what my father and mother instilled in me: take a negative and turn it into a positive. Don't be afraid to fail." On his mother's constant reminder: "My mother calls me practically every day. The last words are always: 'Keep your nose clean.' That's her constant reminder: people are watching, people are learning, people are paying attention." On why he stepped back from the spotlight: "I want my life to be my life. My time in the spotlight is dwindling, and I want to be able to control what I do and what I don't want to do. I need no more admiration. I've had enough. And it's been great." Jordan shares what retirement means to him: "Sometimes I surprise myself saying, 'I got nothing to do today. I got nothing to do tomorrow. I got nothing to do on Wednesday.' That's ultimately retirement. That's where I want to be. Not worrying about what I have to do tomorrow while I'm living in the moment right now."

Jeff Bezos reveals the question he asks himself to make every big decision in his life "I told my boss I'm going to go do this crazy thing and start a company selling books online. He said, let's go on a walk, and we went on a two-hour walk in Central Park" "He said this actually sounds like a really good idea, but it sounds like it would be a better idea for somebody who didn't already have a good job. He convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision" "I knew the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried. And I knew that would haunt me every day" "If you can project yourself out to age 80 and think, what will I think at that time, it gets you away from some of the daily pieces of confusion" "I knew that when I was 80 I was not going to regret having tried this. I knew that if I failed I wouldn't regret that. But the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried" "I left this Wall Street firm in the middle of the year. When you do that, you walk away from your annual bonus, and that's the kind of thing that in the short term can confuse you" "But if you think about the long term, you can really make good life decisions that you won't regret later"

Chris Haynes addresses him saying the Celtics were the front runners for Giannis just two hours before Giannis was traded to the Miami Heat after a caller questioned him: “I can’t read the future. All I can do is tell you what’s being told, what’s being heard, that’s all I can do. I do TV, I do radio 4/5 times a day. I get asked the same damn questions every single time and I have to relay what I’m hearing at that moment. Never did I say he was Boston bound. Never did I say Miami was not in consideration. Miami was always in play. You know what I think it is? A lot of people felt a certain way when he eventually went to Miami and I said it appears Boston is the front runners, I think a lot of people went and started betting. I think lot of people lost some money. I think that’s what it is.”

Matthew McConaughey reveals the three words his dad said that changed his life “I said dad, I don't want to go to law school anymore. I want to go to film school and after about a 5 second pause, he goes, ‘Are you sure that's what you want to do?’ I reply yes sir” “Another long pause. Then I hear, ‘Well, don't halfass it’” “I remember just beaming, hopping up just like Yes! My dad not only said okay. The way he said don't halfass it, it was also, okay. Let's go big boy. Own that shit. Get some leverage. Get some horsepower behind where you're going. Go do it” “I remember to this day and I've learned this later I think from becoming a father, part of what I believe happened to him and why he said that to me that way on that call was the way that I asked him. I wasn't really asking. It was, ‘I don't want to go to law school, Dad. I want to go to film school.’ I didn't stutter. He heard his son saying this is what I want to do” “What I think happened to him in that moment is what I think any father, any parent loves. You raise your kids in a certain way and you give them a guideline, a ladder to climb and here's the guidelines and if you do it this way, you're most likely going to have some success in life and it'll work out for you and then when we do it that way, we can be proud parents” “But what do we really want to happen when our kids are out of the house and they're on their own? We kind of want them to call one day and go, ‘I'm breaking out. I'm going my own way.’ And as a parent, we go, as much as it may scare us, we're going, ‘Yes!’ I gave my kid the confidence and the courage and the foundation to say they're going to go their own way” “In a way, I think every parent honors and loves that moment. I heard my dad, when he didn't hear me stutter, when he heard me directly say what I said. I wasn't really asking him. Even though I was out of respect asking him, the way I said it, I wasn't asking him and I think he felt that” “Don't halfass it”

Ford: If Biden had said this about anybody, I would have said he was completely wrong. I hope the president corrects himself. Gutfeld: He was asked to and he didn’t. You don't have to like the things that he says all the time. That is why in my filter, Trump is always words versus deeds. I don't have to like what he says. In fact, I can hate what he says but I can also think in his brain, he is going, I don't like him. He can't let that go. We don't have to like it. Just look at the deeds.

J-Cal Blasts Zuck Over Free Speech Flip: "There's no one on Earth who has censored more people than him." @jason on E210: "Pretty straightforward here: if Kamala won, he would not have done this." "There's no human being who has censored more humans than him. That was his decision when it was a popular decision." "And I think he's over-optimizing based on what he thinks everybody else around him wants." "I've never worked with him. I don't know him personally. But he banned Trump for two years. The President of the United States!" "I said at the time, I don't know that you can give a permanent ban to the President of the United States." "When he had the opportunity to re-evaluate that decision, you know what he did? He punted." "Zuck created the Oversight Board. He's so spineless, he decided, 'I'll create and give $150M to this board to make these hard decisions for me, instead of me making the decision.'" "What I saw when he did that was, 'I don't want to be blamed for these decisions.' And that is a lack of courage and morality in my estimation." "And then the second he is threatened by Trump, he makes the opposite decision." "And if he's making his decisions strictly on maximizing money, I don't respect that." "What is the point of being a billionaire, or worth $100B or $200B if you don't get to say, 'I have f*** you money. F*** you, I'm going to do what I want.'" "And that's what I think is his moral failure."

NBC's Craig Melvin: "In the days and weeks after [the 2024 debate], you continued to insist that the President was fine. How do you square thinking that he may have had a stroke with what you were saying in the days and weeks after? How do you square those?" Jill Biden: "Well, Craig, look at it from my point of view. So, I'm watching, just like everybody else was, scared to death, like, what is going on. He gets off the stage, I see, he appears to be okay. He says to me, Jill, I really, in other words, messed up, didn't I? And I said, yes, you did. And so, we get off -- and I know we're going into another event, or we have two more to do. And my mind is racing. What do I say to him? What do I say to him? I'm his wife. I've got to lift him up. So, we go to the next event, and I'm thinking saying, what do I say that will lift him up that is true? I want to say things that are true. So, I said, you answered every question. My mind was racing." Melvin: "That's a pretty low bar." Biden: "Well -- so, I had to sort of lift him up. I'm his wife. I'm not going to get out on the stage there and say, Joe, you really screwed that up. I mean -- and we have all of our supporters, you know, so that's who we are. I had to support him. I couldn't come out and -- I mean, really, publicly, say, Joe, you did a terrible job in a debate?"

.Naval: There was a story that I read about Elon Musk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something. And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.” And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust. And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it. Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes. Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy. He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.

A mental model everyone should know: The Regret Minimization Framework. This is how Jeff Bezos used this model to decide to start Amazon: I went to my boss and told him, "I'm going to go do this crazy thing — I'm going to start this company selling books online." This is something I had already been talking to him about in a more general context, and he said, "Let's go on a walk." So we went on a 2-hour walk in Central Park in New York City. The conclusion of that was, he said, "This actually sounds like a really good idea to me, but it sounds like it would be a better idea for somebody who didn't already have a good job!" He convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. So I went away and was trying to find the right framework to make that kind of big decision. I had already talked to my wife about this, and she was 100 percent supportive, saying, "You can count me in – whatever you want to do." It's true, she had married this guy with a stable career and path, but she was 100 percent supportive. So it was really a decision I had to make for myself. The framework I found, which made the decision incredibly easy, was what I called — only a nerd would call — a regret minimization framework. I wanted to project myself forward to age 80 and say, "I'm looking back on my life, I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have." I knew that when I was 80, I was not going to regret having tried this. I was not going to regret participating in this thing called the Internet that I thought was going to be a really big deal. I knew that if I failed, I wouldn't regret that. But I knew the one thing I might regret is not having ever tried. And I knew that would haunt me every day. When I thought about it that way, it was an incredibly easy decision. If you can project yourself to age 80 and think, "What will I think at that time?" it gets you away from some of the daily pieces of confusion.

A mental model everyone should know: The Regret Minimization Framework. This is how Jeff Bezos used this model to decide to start Amazon: I went to my boss and told him, "I'm going to go do this crazy thing — I'm going to start this company selling books online." This is something I had already been talking to him about in a more general context, and he said, "Let's go on a walk." So we went on a 2-hour walk in Central Park in New York City. The conclusion of that was, he said, "This actually sounds like a really good idea to me, but it sounds like it would be a better idea for somebody who didn't already have a good job!" He convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. So I went away and was trying to find the right framework to make that kind of big decision. I had already talked to my wife about this, and she was 100 percent supportive, saying, "You can count me in – whatever you want to do." It's true, she had married this guy with a stable career and path, but she was 100 percent supportive. So it was really a decision I had to make for myself. The framework I found, which made the decision incredibly easy, was what I called — only a nerd would call — a regret minimization framework. I wanted to project myself forward to age 80 and say, "I'm looking back on my life, I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have." I knew that when I was 80, I was not going to regret having tried this. I was not going to regret participating in this thing called the Internet that I thought was going to be a really big deal. I knew that if I failed, I wouldn't regret that. But I knew the one thing I might regret is not having ever tried. And I knew that would haunt me every day. When I thought about it that way, it was an incredibly easy decision. If you can project yourself to age 80 and think, "What will I think at that time?" it gets you away from some of the daily pieces of confusion. I left this Wall Street firm in the middle of the year, and when you do that, you walk away from your annual bonus.

JD Vance on Trump: I think [President Trump] is in great health. I think, you know, you see people in the media constantly talking about that. I guess this is just something the media is going to talk about. But from what I've seen, I've literally never once thought to myself he doesn't have the stamina or the energy to do this job. If anything, he's got more stamina and energy than a lot of people in the cabinet who are 30 years his junior. And I think that's a good thing because you want a president who is able to do that grind every single day. Source: CBS News

xQc anoints Hasan as "Dog Zeus" over "Dog Shocker" after Piker went at him for being a selfish a hole "What about the one where he pulled the dog backwards by its tail..was he role playing f'in Mario in Mario64 with Bowser when he spins him around with the tail?" "What about the decision to shock his dog? What about the decision to enter the br*thel?..it's not something I'm a part of..I'm only a spectator of his actions..why is commenting on his decisions something that's going back to me?" "It's an easy jab..u shocked ur dog..it's f'in obvious, everybody knows it and every single thing that he said, he has changed it..so every time that there's an opportunity, I take a jab..why? bc it's so easy for him to heal himself from all that by just admitting and moving on..how hard is it to say guys, I said some bs bc I was in a hot water, and I kind of hated it..I don't do that anymore..I know better" "Ur not the dog shocker, ur the Dog Zeus, ur the master of lightning buddy..the fact that he's still hiding it, it is f'in abysmal"

🚨Naval Ravikant on Elon Musk: "Elon is the real deal. There's a story I read about him that affected me. Bill Gates had just taken out a big short on Tesla and Elon said 'Why would you do that?' Bill said he spoke to his financial advisors and they said it made sense. Elon said 'What do you need money for? I thought you cared about climate, etc. What are you doing?' and then he walked away in disgust and never talked to Bill Gates after that. Elon's a purist, he means what he says. The money is a tool for him to do what he wants to do. I take him at face value. I really believe he intends to get to Mars, that's not a joke. And he means to get there within a defined window of time. I don't think that's an inspirational goal, I think he'll do whatever it takes. Elon doesn't want to go down in history as the electric car guy, or the 'I saved America' guy, he wants to go down as the guy who got humanity to the stars. I don't even think he even wants to be known as that, I think he actually just wants to do it because he wants to do it. The only way he gets to experience the science fiction world in his head is if he gets to the stars. I think the Government was just a thing that got in his way, and he needs to get it out of his way so he can go to the stars."

One of the most powerful moments in this episode. At 28, mark pincus finds himself unemployed (fired by John Malone, Bain, and others), with few prospects. He had big dreams, but the world wasn't cooperating. This is how he turned things around. what "I realized I had nowhere else to fall from this because I just felt like I’d made a lot of bad career decisions and I was washed up early and I just sat there in this temple." It was a good place to sit and think because he didn't know anyone and didn't understand anything. "And I just started writing in a notebook about why my life sucked so badly." This book, a journal he's kept every year that he calls the book of life, allows him to take an accurate accounting of his life and change his mindset through reflection. After writing for hours about how bad his life sucked and all the mistakes he'd made, he focused on one small thing. "I just ended on this one thing: that I smoked cigarettes. I didn’t even smoke smoke. I smoked like one or two a day, a pack a night if I was at a bar on weekends, but I hated it ... I didn’t want to do it, but I kept doing it." He felt like his life was out of control, but this was one thing he could control. "I just was like, if I could do one thing to know that I’m making some positive change in my life, I’m going to quit smoking. So on October 19th, 1994, I did a lifetime quit on cigarettes and then every day for that year after that, that I didn’t smoke, it was something I could feel good about. So I was like, okay, I did something for myself today by not smoking." The wins started to stack. I asked him what he was writing about. What was his process? "At that point, I had no structure or process. I was just writing, and there was so much in me." Was it anger? "It was. I did feel angry and frustrated and I was like, I had all these dreams. I wanted to be an entrepreneur from early on and I was an achiever. I thought I was an achiever, but I was not achieving." He's done the same technique every year: "What it’s done for me and I think it could do for a lot of people is just be strategic about your life, like be thoughtful about, I like to say, what would your future self thank you for doing this year and what wouldn’t?" And that question is the one that really matters. What can you do today that your future self will thank you for? What the book of life did was hold him accountable and force him to make tough decisions that his future self would thank him for.

🚨 LMFAO! President Trump at a GOP fundraising event: "The greatest thing about being president is you don't have to make contributions! I said, it's the only thing where I save money in this business!" "Nobody ever asked, but I saw Mike the other night. I did something that I'd never do, and I don't do this braggingly." "I do it because it's fun to talk about. He was close to raising $20 million, and I said, I'll give you a million so you hit your mark!" "I gave him a million dollars. I never do that in politics. I never do it. But I do it for him, and we're going to do a lot more, by the way."

Giannis on the possibility of LeBron James coming to the Miami Heat: “I don’t think I’ll pitch anything to him. I feel like I feel always in his career he made good decisions. That’s what history has shown. Everywhere he’s been, he’s won. If he believes the Miami Heat organization is a good decision for him and his family he should make that decision. He’s one of the greatest players to play this game if not the greatest. From day 1 he offers so much to a team. For me, having a guy like that it will be wonderful to learn from, to pick his brain. He’s a person I definitely look up too. He’s been in Miami, he knows what Miami is about and when he’s ready he’ll decide.” (Via mikecugnocbs4)

Chris Christie reveals the bad advice he gave President Trump that caused Trump to stop talking to him. "I said, 'You need to call Biden, congratulate him, invite him to the White House, shake his hand.' And I said, 'If you do that, you'll have a good reputation with the American people and whatever else you want to do with your life, it'll be wide open to you. 'If you don't do that,' and this is where I was wrong, 'all that's over.' And he said, 'Well, I'm not going to do that. What else you got?' And I said, 'I don't have anything else.' And he goes, 'Then I have nothing to talk to you about.' And we have not spoken since."

Former President Barack Obama finally acknowledged Trump's bizarre, creepy obsession with him during an appearance on ALL THE SMOKE with Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson today. One of the hosts pointed out that the "leader of this current administration is still very fascinated" with President Obama and his family, despite the fact he's been "out of office [for] nearly 10 years now." "Look, you gotta ask him what it is — the obsession ... I obviously, you know, have a room in his head —," Obama began. "Rent free," one of the hosts cut in. "A suite in his head," Obama agreed. "But the thing about it is that was always clear to me. Look, first of all, when I was president, the last thing I had time to do was worry about what somebody said, somebody said, or what my predecessor did, they're gone." "I got work to do," Obama continued. "It's hard to describe how, if you're doing the job right every day, you got five, ten things that feel hard, and you have to be constantly focused. The idea that I'd be worrying about came before somebody who came before, and me trying to measure, you know, like what's he done today. "Look, constantly worrying about that is a strange thing to me. It shows me somebody who's not focused on the American people and the job they're supposed to do," he added. This is what real leadership looks like — calm, unruffled, and unconcerned with petty grudges.

Winning isn’t all that and neither is losing. It’s just something that happens. It’s the outcome. What really matters is the effort you put in and the journey you go through. I would say: Take a break if you’ve been stuck in something for too long. That’s actually why I stepped away for a while. I literally retired, and it was the best thing I could have done for myself. Through that retirement, I realized that I’m a bit of a creative person. I have ideas, my own sense of fashion, and I can be a little stubborn about it. So I came back to share all of my art. I love choreography and moving to music. I love to dance, and I do it on my own terms, no one tells me what to do. Even now, I still take breaks. And I think that’s the best way to do it. — Alysa Liu.

Rep. Byron Donalds ripped into Joe Kent’s resignation letter with three brutal takedowns, comparing it to throwing a hand grenade on the way out the door. DONALDS: “Number one, I think that it was really inappropriate for him to write a letter like that on his way out the door.” “That’s essentially trying to throw a hand grenade and while you shut the door and walk out. I think that’s wrong.” “Number two, it undermines the commander in chief.” “And I think it also undermines our military officials who are in that region right now.” “Number three, and more importantly, and I think this is really for the American people — Donald Trump is not going to be cowed by the Israeli government or any other government.” “And I would knowing him and knowing several members of the family, I mean, if you talk to members of his family, they don’t get him to make a decision.” “So how do you expect another force him to make a decision? That’s not accurate.” “I think the president looked at the information in real time and said this is what we need to do.” “And I think that was actually supported by the tweet that came out from DNI Gabbard, essentially saying, listen, the president looked at all the information and he made this decision.”
