Three Things Thursday

Issue 11 (Bye Bye Roman Numerals)

Welcome to Three Things Thursday.

I stopped using Roman Numerals now that we passed X because that was going to get too difficult. Thanks for joining this journey and if you’re new here, join us on the march to 100 issues.

Let’s get right to it. This week was a pretty crazy week on the Twitter world and once again I am thankful for all the new followers.

So how did this happen? This tweet started things off.

The greatest courses offer 10x value over books, etc. Build Once, Sell Twice @jackbutcher Performative Speaking @RobbieCrab The Write of Passage @david_perell Building a Second Brain @fortelabs Profitable Newsletters @KintuLabs With the right tools, you can join their ranks.

What a freaking cool list to be a part of and that sent a bunch of new followers my way. So let me say this, Performative Speaking will be worthy of being surrounded by these giants. That’s a promise.

If you’re curious, the Performative Speaking online course is up to 20 people signed up. That means with 1 month before class starts we only have 10 spots left. I’m in shock. If you want to learn more check it out here: Performative Speaking.

And now for Three Things

1. Personal User Manual

I put out my 3000-word personal user manual this week. It was a challenging but ultimately useful exercise. It required a great deal of self-analysis. Some of it was not the most fun to admit but it was good to be transparent with myself and people who read my work.

I’m proud of this article. I highly encourage you to create your own Personal User Manual. You should also publish it so others can learn about you. In the day and age of online community building, putting these words out for others to read will only strengthen our bonds.

2. An idea is only as good as your ability to explain it

An idea is only as good as your ability to explain it

If you aren’t following Andrew you should be. He’s a gifted artist, thinker, and dope human being. He created this drawing after one of my tweets and I freaking loved it. So I have to include it.

And also…go follow Andrew on twitter.

3. “There are times when the world is rearranging itself, and at times like that, the right words can change the world.” Ender’s Game

I think its only fair to show some support to the person who inspired my Personal User Manual.

Brandon Zhang wrote his and encouraged me to write mine. So go read what started my own journey to diving deep into myself.
