Hi friend,

I hope you’re having a rad start to the weekend and are still feeling the post-eclipse high.

🎧 In this week's podcast, we ask: How do you come up with business ideas?​

Do you know your market value?

I was with one of my French cousins, reminiscing about our summer trips to the South of France.

Our families would spend two weeks together for nearly 20 years.

My cousin remembered how he wanted to do 13 year old kid stuff.

Like sleep in, play Gameboy and read a few graphic novels.

But no. This American (yours truly) had different plans. And I imposed them on my cousins.

I came armed with coding books and chess opening moves.

Not to mention a strict regimen of dips, push-ups and sit-ups.

Even as a 13-year-old, I was obsessed with boosting my "market value."

Things that don't work

5 minutes | Dynomight Newsletter
​

Morning routines, smoothie recipes and life hacks. The internet is awash with certainty about what “works.” But a lot of things don’t work. My favorites include: arguing with people, saying the right thing and the value of reading nonfiction.
