Do Boomers owe you a house?


Hi Reader,

I hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start and all of my cities are repp'ing in the MLB playoffs.

Learning AI has ranked high on my list (next to making music and improving my flexibility).

A year ago, AI was a nice-to-have. This year it's become a I-can't-imagine-life-wit

And my friend (and fellow RadReader) Ozan Varol created a course (that I've taken) that will get you up to speed in an easy and practical way.

The AI Advantage (enrollment closes today, 10/19) will teach you how to become a master delegator, marketing mogul and idea factory.

Do Boomers owe you a house?

Warren Buffett has $145 billion dollars.

How much is he planning on giving his kids?

“Enough so that they can do anything, but not enough that they can do nothing.”

(Translation, $1 Billion per kid.)

Now your Boomer parents have way less.

But they’re sitting on giant homes.

They’ve locked in super-low interest rates.

And their 401ks are on fire.

So what does that mean for you?

Quit your job

11 minutes | Palladium Magazine

Quitting your job without a plan is not for the faint-hearted. But if you do plunge into the uncertainty, without something else lined-up, you increase your surface area of luck. New relationships form, ideas arise in idleness and then you’re able to truly break free from the prevailing career narratives.

Want closer friendships? Move away from your friends.

5 minutes | The Atlantic

Are long-distance adult friendships destined to fade without the convenience of quick catch ups? It turns out that going the extra mile — quite literally — acts as a forcing function to prioritize your most important relationships.

Stop asking people ‘What do you do?’

5 minutes | The Wall Street Journal

“What do you do?” is the perfect question to summarize a person’s interest, expertise and social status. And as someone with an unconventional career path, I hate it. When we tie our identities too closely to our careers, are we squeezing out the traits that truly make us shine?

Hi Reader, I've got a small announcement to make. After 400 consecutive weeks of short essays, I'm hitting pause. (I'm not pausing the newsletter, just the essay.) Why?
