Five Interesting Things I Came Across This Week

sup friends 👋🏼,
I’ve been thinking a lot about what ‘PMF’ (product market-fit) means for startups in emerging tech (blockchain, AI etc).
The first link of the week is testament to this. A bunch of tweets/threads that I really jammed with.
Anyway, let’s get to it 🙂
1/ Loom’s PMF Strategy
One of my go-to async tools for remote teams is Loom. They undoubtedly achieved PMF relatively early
I came across this awesome graphic to help visualise Product-Market Fit (PMF) - finding PMF is like an equation.
Does your position in the market (based on how painfully your ICP feels the problem) and how effectively your product solves that problem, justify the price you’re charging?
If you want to understand how this model can you achieve PMF and be introduced to a new mental model, read my LinkedIn post on this here.
2/ Tim Ferriss’ Words of Wisdom
Maaaan this came at a good time.
We all need to take ownership of our lives, and stop blaming for others for any misdemeanours or things not working out for us.
We are the architects that can shape whether we have a good life or not.
You are the author of your own life, and it’s never too late to replace the stories you tell yourself and the world. It’s never too late to begin a new chapter, add a surprise twist, or change genres entirely.

3/ How to Make your Home Life Happier
Some good reminders for a happy home life - it goes so far to focus on the getting better WITH your partner each day.
Seven Rules For Making Your Home Life Happier
Interestingly, this section was included in the original 1936 edition of How to Win Friends and Influence People but omitted from the revised 1981 edition.
1. Don’t nag.
2. Don’t try to make your partner over.
3. Don’t criticize.

4/ Leadership Lessons from Jeff Bezos
Some great life lessons here from this Bezos vid - a few i’m highlighting:
You don't choose a passion, a passion chooses you
Take pride in your effort, not your talents
Be stubborn on vision, and flexible on details
Every saturday morning for the last 6 years, I watch this obscure video.
It's Jeff Bezos talking about leadership, but really, it's the most succinct blueprint for how to achieve greatness I have ever found.
You should watch it often, but I summarized it here: (thread, sry)— Garrett Scott 🕳 (@thegarrettscott)

5/ How to get rid of belly fat
This thread is gold - its simple to follow and easy for anyone to run with.
It breaks things down into simple steps, meal plans, workout routines and also includes an easy to purchase (and cheap!) grocery list.
Would def recommend checking this out in full.
If I woke up 30lbs overweight with belly fat
Below would be the grocery list, meals, workouts, and routine I'd use to get my body back in 90 days:
