This month I’m celebrating 7 full years of alcohol sobriety🥹 I spoke a little bit about how I quit after 15 years of addiction in my new video. I hope it helps someone today.

I’m sure many people have said this, but I haven’t seen anything about it. Why isn’t there a set of TV channels available nationwide by September that has school curriculum taught all day with simple scheduling? It would be more accessible than everyone needing a computer + wifi.

The fact that so many Democrats are freaking out about Biden pardoning his son is why we lost the election.

1. One day I hope to be as comfortable at anything as @rihanna is at speaking. 2. She’s grown sooo much in the past 10 years and it’s genuinely inspirational. 3. I need everyone to stop what you’re doing and watch all 3mins of this 4. PULL UP! 💜

When I asked Mark Cuban, a billionaire, why he invested $6M into my fund when he doesn’t usually enjoy investing in other people’s funds, he said without hesitation, “you’re in rooms I’ll never be in.” Think about how powerful that is. You don’t have to be rich to be powerful.

Women: this is your reminder to have zero imposter syndrome. Not saying what Rick is saying is wrong, just saying you’re right.

I remember a company asking me to come in to speak with their execs about diversity and me saying sure and giving my consulting rate, and them saying “why would we pay you? Don’t you want to meet our famous CEO?” And them now being revealed as a toxic workplace months later.
