Yo, it’s Luke!
Sorry I’m late, shoutout to Baylor for reminding me, and to Cory for distracting me with an awesome weekend retreat :)
That said, here is your weekly dose of 5 noteworthy ideas & things I learned about last week. Click on each link to dive further on that topic.
1. Not A Bad Place To Set Up Shop
Also, how the hell did people from way back in the day build something like this on a straight cliff?!
2. A Nice North Star To Guide Your Day-To-Day Life
3. This Is How I Want To Be

4. First Draft Speed (Shaan Puri)
having a high 'first draft speed' in business is such an advantage.
I wish I could measure this, like athletes running the 40 at the combine.
Going from "we need to figure out X" to "ok here's a rough prototype/doc" in < 1 hour changes the entire clock speed of the company

Action → results → positive iteration → better outcomes.
I’m trying to become world class at the action part. Started a few months ago and that conscious effort has reaped tons of great outcomes.
Highly recommend.
5. History Fact To Distort Your Perception of Time
The Sistine Chapel (1473) and Machu Picchu (1450s) were built ~20 years apart.
