GOOD MORNING

EDUCATING KIDS

IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

THEY ARE THE FUTURE !

Merry Christmas! 🎄

Strava has entered a new phase of enshittification. A platform I’m using since 2015 as a cyclist and I was paying for a membership too.

Building a proof-of-concept #Nostrides (web)app is one of my current goals for 2025. As an alternative for Strava. They are itching me too much.

GOOD MORNING

SANTA CLAUS WAS VERY GENEROUS TO ME

JUST PREORDERED THE GOLD STANDARD

Hahahahahah comment of the year

When I was young, we lived in poverty. I remember the joy of receiving donated toys & food from kind strangers around the holidays.

One time a neighbor brought over a whole box of food for us to make turkey dinner.

One time the dairy where my grandfather worked as a milk man let us take a whole crate of dairy products home (and a toy).

I try to give as often as I can, especially around Christmas.

What makes me even more happy than giving, is to let the kids in the family experience the joy of giving.

This year I got the fam together and gave everyone a $500 budget. The rule was they had to buy 2 of each item for someone their age group, something they’d appreciate for Christmas.

Then we took one of each item to the local women’s shelter, and I took the rest home to drop off at the “youth center.”

What I actually did was wrap the 2nd item for them and they will each get it on Christmas morning.

I hired an executive assistant this month and she’s been awesome.

I have a lot of ideas and I’ve learned how to delegate to buy back my time & level up my influence & impact.

She helped me execute on this by organizing the family.

So glad I did this because the kids were really touched and enjoyed shopping for people who are less fortunate.

If you have the means, you could try this with your family.
