Tristan’s 7+1: What I'm reading, watching, listening to, etc...

Distraction stands as the barrier between us and our true desires, echoing the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, who proclaimed that the obstacle itself becomes the path. This obstacle, often manifested as distraction, takes on various forms: some classify it as attention deficit disorder, others point fingers at electronic devices, while still others attribute it to a multitude of causes. Regardless of its form, the essence remains the same—we fall victim to distraction when we fail to take full responsibility. Ultimately, the responsibility lies with us; we hold the power to overcome it.

We must take the initiative to cultivate habits that propel us forward in life and aid our growth.

Book I’m Reading:

The Tao of Charlie Munger. I love this little book. It’s a compendium of pithy quotes including, “Knowing what you don’t know is more useful than being brilliant” and “In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn’t read all the time—none, zero.” This collection, culled from interviews, speeches, and questions and answers at the Berkshire Hathaway and Wesco annual meetings, offers insights into Munger’s amazing financial success and life philosophies. Described by Business Insider as “sharp in his wit and investing wisdom,” Charlie Munger’s investment tips, business philosophy, and rules for living are as unique, intelligent, and successful as he was.

What I’m Watching:

Building Trusting Teams. This is a short clip of a longer interview with Simon Sinek. It’s about creating trust in a team environment and how to grow teams that connect with each other to help a greater cause. 

What I’m Listening To

Michael Jordan in his own words. This is a great episode to listen to that will get you into the right mindset to go out and get it! After listening to this one you will be motivated to take action. This kicked me in the butt.

What I Just Bought:

Chameleon Cold Brew. This is one of my favorite coffee brands. It’s tasty, it has some sugar, but it hits the spot for me when I need the extra pump. If you like sweet coffee you will like this one. 

Article I’m Reading:

Advice for the unmotivated. This article describes what you as an individual can do to sustain your motivation or recover it, even in the most stultifying of jobs. After synthesizing research on this challenge and experimenting with various strategies, the authors have developed a process for recharging yourself called DEAR.

What Tech I’m Testing Out:

Rode Mic. I’m re-testing this one in my other studio and It’s still one of the best mics for recording audio. I have 7 other mics and I wish I would have stuck to this one. 

What I’m Working On:

The Process Document. This document is part of a bigger chain of things, but this is the main document that gets you outlining things you need to accomplish as priorities. This document i use weekly and I’m building a course around it that will be ready in the next two weeks. If you need it just text me to 310-356-3715 and we will send it to you.

Thank you for reading A Brilliant Tribe.
