WEEKLY LETTER
ISSUE #18 · Aug 16
Hey {{first_name}}
This week is the final week before I complete 365 days of learning something new every single day.
If you follow me on TikTok, Facebook, or YouTube, you may also know that I have been posting a quote every day as well.
This has been the longest and best year of my life. It is hard to comprehend so much has changed for me in the last 365 days.
But, more on that next week.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.”

How Naval Ravikant Made his Money
The Almanack of Naval Ravikant provides an insight into how Naval gained his wealth, and how you can do the same. The whole process can be summed up into 2 words, “Productize Yourself”

From James
This past week I worked, made videos, read books, went to the gym, and ate food with family.
A simple life.
Week in and week out, these are the activities that I prioritize.
At times, this routine can make me feel limited as someone who makes videos for social media because in reality these activities can look very boring.
Social media likes fast, exciting, and extraordinary.
Most of most peoples’ lives are boring, routine, and slow progress over long periods of time.
That’s why it is important to remember to not compare yourself to what you see on social media. You are watching the outliers. The extremists.
