For the past month, I’ve been quietly working hard on something, and now we’re right at the finish line. It feels good to finally share this first glimpse with you.
I’ll let the video speak for itself. More Mzala teasers are coming throughout the week. 👀

Every ambitious person needs to watch this clip twice
.@TomBrady on how to be great:
"If you wanna be great at something, you've gotta commit your life to it. Certainly in a competitive environment like a sport. Because you could be better than 80% of the people, but that doesn't mean you'll be a champion. If you want to be a champion, you better be better than 99% of the people, which requires another level of work. You could have a nice, long career and be successful, and everyone go, oh yeah, he was a nice player, working at 80%, but the level to get to the 99% and be better than them, well, that's another level of physical, mental, emotional growth.
Where do I need to be every day? How can I be better, like I said, in whatever area? For me, physically, I was behind. I was really good mentally. I knew the plays. I was a savant when it came to the playbook. You put the playbook in front of me, I looked at it. I saw the play, I saw the adjustments. Okay, flip the page. Okay, I say, yep, I got that. And it was just, in my mind, like I can remember plays. You call a play, I visualize it, I see everyone running. Tell me the coverage, I tell you all the holes.
That was the easy part for me. Like some guys can run really easily. And then the emotional part of bringing the competitiveness and the fire every day. That was easy for me."

Growing up in South Africa, coding always felt like it belonged to someone else's language.
So I built my own.

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%.
Thanks for coming on @FU_joehudson and sharing how you run your business.

We have reached the AI era, and for me, I think the next step is to focus more on innovation from the ground up. I believe this is one of the ways rural areas can really thrive.
As soon as I get the resources, one of the things I’d love to invest in is computer centres in rural communities. Giving people access to technology, AI tools and digital skills can help them build their own businesses, create opportunities and develop proper local ecosystems for themselves.

How those harmonies float over that crispy percussion gives the songs this dreamlike quality a straight baby making slow jam.
