$50K a year for humanities degree with no job prospects? “Where do I sign up bro” $100 a year for updates from self made millionaires who have high accuracy and could even hire you? “Nah man sell out, too expensive” And people wonder why they fail.

@BowTiedBull Humans 😂 Let‘s spend $20k more on a car that‘s a guaranteed loss. Nah dude I won‘t invest $5k bc that seems risky, could lose money.

I’ve had these two tweets saved for a while. It’s amazing what people will do to not justify an investment in themselves.

I see this time and time again. Many people are willing to spend money on expensive designer clothing, cars, new gadgets and a lot more other crap. But won’t spend the same money on things that could bring up their own value.

It’s ok to buy a nice car, designer top or new phone. However it needs to go the other way too. Investing in yourself is even more important and can make you more valuable as a person.

We live in a world where you earn money and respect based on what value you can bring to others.

10 Digital Product Ideas You Can Use To Make Money Online

One of my recent fav videos that you guys seem to love too as it’s already one of my most watched videos.


Link Lowdown

A collection of links to stuff I think are worth sharing.

Coffee — A tiny time tracker for your next big project.

Mona & Hubot Sans — Two awesome open source variable fonts from Github.

TinyWow — A set of tools that can do anything from convert files to remove backgrounds from images.

ImprovMX — Create email aliases. A good way to manage multiple emails and spam.

Magician — A pretty wild AI tool for Figma.

Intentionally making close friends — An interesting post and Hacker News thread. I’m fortunate enough to have quite a few close friends but something that stuck out to me is that friendships are rarely 50/50 and you shouldn’t be upset about that. Sometimes that’s just how it is and it doesn’t mean you should throw away people you have fun with.

SigmaOS — A new browser. Looks pretty interesting. There seems to be this movement to browsers almost acting like an OS, you do everything in them.
