Most experts are sitting on 10+ big ideas that could change their life
But they lack the clarity and courage to commit to one
That’s why they never build authority that compounds
(Don’t be most people)

Something is happening to the US that is slow, systematic and deadly. Trump is dismantling our country, and it’s deliberate, calculated and surgical.
1: trump killed NATO partnership, our strongest defense alliance against Russia and China
2: trump’s HHS Secretary is killing our public health infrastructure, creating a more sicker and vulnerable America with communicative diseases
3: over at the pentagon trump’s frat boy Petey is firing our most qualified generals, depleting our best military hardware rapidly, in a stupid war to make our military a third world level armed forces
4: trump’s DOGE deliberately hollowed out our government from essential experts, to zap its functioning capabilities
5: trump killed USAID, and we lost our goodwill around the world and became isolated pariah
6: trump ICE became his brown shirts, killing and abusing Americans to obey
7: trump’s weirdo FBI director is charging everyone and anyone to silence Americans
8: trump DOJ is robbing the treasury to the tune of $1.8 billion dollars, to create an army of bribed foot soldiers to protect their dismantling of the country during midterm elections
9: trump’s interior secretary is dismantling our national parks
10: trump’s economic team of Bassett and lutnick is crashing the economy, creating a population of economically disadvantaged
11: trump’s Epstein files are now officially been shelved to protect trump the destroyer
12: trump let his oligarch enabler Peter Thiel to confiscate all our private data, including social security, tax, health and court and business records
13: finally and most importantly, trump and his family and his oligarch enablers are looting our treasury, and stuffing our tax dollars into their pockets.
Now tell me, you don’t think trump is a foreign agent, disguised as the president of the U.S, installed to destroy the US? Could it be that fuck Putin, specially after lifting all sanctions against Russia? Or, the other fuck Elon, the asshole AIPAC Netanyahu, the anti Christ fuck Theil owning trump’s ass? Trump is no longer doing the duties of the president, but having out loud fantasies about men in his circus rallies, shit posting all day, all night, and golfing in the weekend. Drag this enemy of America out of the White House. That foreign escort “Epstien hooker” Melania too.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just went on TV and made clear that Donald Trump is abandoning Ukraine. Just weeks after Don Jr's wedding paid for by a Russian oligarch, this happens. The corruption is astounding.

This guy coaches Sam Altman.
He also works with leaders at Anthropic, Google, Apple, and SpaceX.
I sat down with him to learn how he coaches billion dollar businesses.
Here are Joe Hudson’s 7 operating rules:
1. Kill your 1:1s
These meetings lead individuals to solve problems instead of the team. Much better to bring problems to the whole team so everyone feels responsible for solving them. I agree, haven’t done them for years...
2. Rotate who runs recurring meetings
When the same person always leads, people focus on pleasing or rebelling against them. Spreading the authority makes everyone accountable to the team instead.
3. Give anyone the power to change a bad meeting
Everyone already knows when a meeting isn’t working (and usually why). Giving people permission to say it makes meetings more effective.
4. Make every employee run at least 5 experiments a quarter on their own job
It makes the team more productive, keeps people interested, and helps retain smart employees who would otherwise get bored.
5. Ask your team to push back on your ideas
If you try to sell them on the idea, they may nod in the room and do nothing afterward. Asking for objections tests the idea + gets everyone aligned before you commit to it.
6. Start by building the part you understand the least
If you leave the confusing part until the end you might find out it doesn’t fit and have to rebuild everything around it.
7. End every email with an action needed
Name the person responsible, the action they need to take, and the deadline. Joe says this rule increased productivity in his business by 35 to 40%.

The biggest breakthroughs don’t come from creating more “useful”content.
They come from owning an idea people can’t stop thinking about.
Ambitious entrepreneur?
Aim higher.

In his book Collapse, Jared Diamond studied a dozen societies across thousands of years, from the Maya to the Vikings, to answer one question: why do great civilizations fall? What he found wasn't drought, war or bad luck. None of those were ever enough on their own. The one thing present in every collapse was how the people at the top responded to what was happening below them.
The warning sign he found again and again was leaders who were completely insulated from the pain of ordinary people. When the powerful never feel the consequences, they stop seeing the problem, and when they stop seeing it, they stop fixing it. The Maya kings kept enriching themselves and building monuments while the farmers who fed them went hungry. Their civilization didn't fall because of one bad year. It fell because the people in charge had stopped living in the same world as everyone else.
Diamond called them "distant managers." They are the people in power who live so far from the damage that they are the last to understand how bad it has gotten. By the time they notice, the fields are already empty.
His most important finding was that collapse is a choice. Every society that fell had leaders who could have changed course and chose not to. The question for us is whether we will keep letting people who can't see us make that choice for us. Because we are there folks.
