Hey, Sam and Sean. This is Colby from Woodbridge, Virginia.

It seems like you guys are always finding cool stuff, whether that's media or cool tools. So, anyway, my question is, what have you been into recently? Thanks.

Okay. So the question of the the one question Friday we got was basically around

what are just random we seem to be into really random things What are some of these random things that we're really into right now? Stuff that we really like. It could be a podcast. It could be,

video. It could be a book. It could be a app or a tool. Anything like that. What are we into? It's kind of like our info diet or the tools in our tool belt that we really like right now. So, Sam, what do you got? Alright.

I'll write off all three of mine because they're all related the first one. The both of these might sound all three might sound a little obvious, but hear me out. So YouTube premium. Are you a subscriber to YouTube premium? I am a longtime YouTube premium subscriber. Most people aren't. And so I actually unsubscribed

from Spotify. So I don't use paid Spotify anymore. I only use YouTube. And the reason being is, a, I watch all my TV on there, but b, you can listen to any music and they make playlists for you, and then you could lock phone and put it in your pocket. And you could listen to music, playlist, and it's way better than Spotify because they have live versions and, like, unreleased versions and, like, illegal stuff. You know, like things that were, like, you know, aren't copyrighted, things like that. So I like YouTube premium. The second one, do you ever listen to Audible? I am not an audiobook guy. I always found it boring and a little slow. Gotta tune it out.

So there's this thing called Audible Original. So first of all, there's Audible Plus, which is if you pay for it, you get all these free audiobooks. So I'm always it around. But they've got some that are as short as thirty minutes, so like short stories or like a short like class, but then they have audible originals and they'll do like courses. Remember YouTube

or iTunes University, it's almost like that. So they, like, put, like, whole, like, Stanford lectures. So I just click on one of the lectures and listen for a few minutes on audible originals, or they do this other thing where they have these, like, huge productions where it's an audiobook, but there's, like, famous actors and multiple of them. So it's almost like a play or a movie, but audible only. And it's free if you're a subscriber. So I like that. And the last thing, all related, have you ever used the app Libby? Have you heard of Libby? Never heard of this. Do you have a library card?

No.

Okay. So if you go to your local library and you get a card, which is free, you can enter in your library card to this app. Called Libby, and you could access unlimited amounts of ebooks and audiobooks so long as the library in your town has it. And

Only from that one library?

No. No. No. No. No. From, like, it's like everything. Like, in, like, anything you could imagine, it's likely there.

Yeah. But listen, there's one major downside, which is some things like the popular titles. They'll, like, are they only allocated? I don't know how they do this. Only allocated a certain amount, like ten copies. So, like, there's this book called Catch Me if you can that I wanted to read. It was pretty popular. So I had to click request hold. And then, like, I got it, like, three days later. So you just request, like, you want, like, ten, twenty, thirty, fifty things, and, like, you know, each thing is released, like, every couple of days. And so it's not always instantaneous, but a lot of times it is. But it's it's called Libby free audio books and free ebooks. It's pretty sick. That's kind of amazing. I had never heard of that. And I feel like nobody knows about that, so they're not gonna be checked out,

when I when I go do it, or at least where I'm from. Okay. So I'm gonna give you a few things that I'm really into right now. I'm just gonna go quick because none of these are super revolutionary, but they're just things I like.

So

sending voice notes and iMessage. I have I went from I never sent a voice note, and I was like,

Why is this feature even here? And I heard that people in China and Asia love to do it because it's low to type there. I think because now I'm a dad, I'm always just, like, on the go. I'm not by my computer all the time. I can't I'm holding a kid in one arm and I'm just trying to type in the other. I have gone all in on on voice notes. It's basically how I run my business now as I'm just sending voice all day to my team.

This data is wrong every freaking time.

Have you heard of HubSpot?

Spot is a CRM platform where everything is fully integrated. Well, I can see the clients hold history, calls, support tickets, emails, and here's a test from three days ago I totally missed.

Hubspot, grow better.

Dude, I hate voice notes.

I hate them. Well, you hate receiving them. You hate receiving them. I hate receiving them. So if we're if you and I are in friend mode, I'm not listening to one. If you and I are in work mode well, no. Not even you or me. If me and an employee are in work mode, I expect they're gonna listen in mind if I'm the boss. And so I get why that's cool. But if we're peers and you send me one, I just automatically default to uh-uh.

Yeah. It's definitely That's the response. It's definitely an f u to the receiver. It's like, you know, sit here and listen to me talk slowly and ramble for a minute, but like, hey, that's kind of what this podcast is too. So, you know, whatever. Alright. My second one,

This app that's called I think it's called compounding. I think you use this too. Compound or compounding. You have this app?

The personal finance one?

Yeah. It's basically just one app that lets you plug in basic metrics, like, if you started with a hundred grand and it's compounding at a six percent rate, In ten years, it'll be here, fifteen years, it'll be here, twenty five years, it'll be here. And the reason I do this is not because every day I need to run a compounding interest calculation.

But every day, I should, just as a reminder

of the power of simple compounding. I think Warren Buffett has said, you know, compounding,

interest is the eighth wonder of the world or something like that. Hundred percent true. And I think it is very, like, compounding interest basically breaks your brain. It's very hard to, like, foresee how a simple change between five percent or eight percent will matter over a ten year or fifteen year period, but it matters in a big way. Yeah. It's really fun

because I just have a compound interest one. Yeah. This is this is that's all it does. Okay. But it's simple and it's my reminder

that slone steady wins the race because I'm pretty add when it comes to, like, investments, ideas, things like that. So I need to remind myself of the power of compound interest over a long term. Okay. Related.

There's a Twitter account that you should follow that everybody I think should follow called I never give Twitter accounts this kinda shine because

We do got that influence. This is gonna blow them up, but this person deserves it. Their name is ten k diver. Have you ever seen this account? Love them. Love ten k diver.

Is base it's just basic,

personal finance. So it's just basic oh, not personal finance, basic financial knowledge. So it'll be like,

Hey, if you're ever looking at a company, put a cup of coffee and sit down because this Sunday, we're talking about balance sheets, how to look at them, what to learn in a bubba. And he just breaks it down so simply

So beautifully,

their every, like, simple finance finance concept is being broken down by this person. They've shot up. They have like two hundred fifty thousand followers now. And, after this, they'll have at least two hundred fifty two thousand followers, I believe. And so that this account is to me, one of my favorite high signal things. I normally hate Twitter threads. I love this guy's Twitter threads. I find a lot of benefit in just re reviewing the basic

or learning the basics for the first time of something that I didn't really understand or know. So ten k divers my next one. There's a billion websites on Chrome, but most people are using it Ineffectively.

Here's the five best plugins that you need to be using right now. Shout out to that guy, Jack. Did you see he did a a a mock thread on these he goes? There are twenty six letters in the alphabet,

but most people don't know how to use them. Here's my favorite letters and how to use them.

A is an awesome letter into the study. I'm like, three hundred thousand. I sent it to him right when he did it. I go, this is amazing.

That thread did over a hundred thousand hundred thousand two hundred thousand. That's something hilarious.

Alright. Second thing.

Next one is,

I talked about this before, the trigger point massage ball. So when we were at Camp MFM, my I had, like, an

Killy's problem. You were like, hey, you need to use this there again to loosen it up. And,

this other guy was like, yo, use this. He threw me like a lacrosse ball. Yeah. And he's like, use this to roll out your calf. And I did. And, it, like, I went from I wasn't gonna be able to play to, like, I was able to play, you know, like, just because that thing loosened it up so well. And, I I forgot to give it back to the guy, so I ended up bringing this lacrosse ball home. And two things happened. One, start playing lacrosse. Fucking love

No. I love just having a bowl in my hand at old all times. Like, just when I was walking through the airport, I was just bouncing it around.

Dude, just I'm like a little child. Having a bowl just makes my life fifteen percent better. I love fiddling

with, like, you know, a lacrosse ball. It's amazing. And so I I had it through the airport, airplane. I have it at home all the time now. I'm playing with this thing, and I'm also using it for these trigger point massages for this, like,

you know, Fash out release or whatever they call it. It's like this this thing that helps you feel more limber and loose.

Okay. I have another fitness related one that sounds gross.

But for somebody out there, this might be helpful.

Goat milk. You ever drink goat milk?

Not much. I I eat a lot of that goat cheese, but no goat milk kinda has grossed me out. Oh, goat cheese, the creme de la creme. We all know that. There you go milk. Most people are a little bit grossed out about, or they just don't know about it. I got put onto this by my trainer. He's like, hey, if you wanna put something in your your smoothies or shakes, protein shakes or whatever,

instead of using normal milk use goat milk for most adults, you're able to digest goat milk better.

And I think also, like, the enzymes in goat milk don't

like block the protein inside. So if you're drinking a protein shake and you drink normal, like like lactose based milk,

I think there's like some inhibition where it doesn't, like, work as well. Taste better, but doesn't work as well. So goat milk has been a little trick, and my last fitness one

walking backwards.

Which is from the, the knees over toes guy playbook.

I have had knee problems and both knees. I've torn my MCL on both sides. Dislocated both kneecaps before.

I do not have good knees in general. And I'm trying to work on that. And one of the things that's helped me feel better and, like, you know, run better all the stuff is

doing, you know, what do they call it? Like, regression movements? Basically, going in the opposite way that you normally go. So let's say you always sit hunched over to computer, then you need to do specific exercise going in the opposite direction to sort of, like, you know, counterbalance this other movement you've been habituated to. Most of us only run and walk forward.

So backpedaling

is an amazing way to sort of like strengthen and, push blood flow into parts of your body that need it. And I feel better doing like this, like, five minute backwards walk every single day. So, look goofy as hell walking around the neighborhood backwards. But it's a thing that I'm doing that I enjoy right now. Chad Puri, you're talking about the crossbars and

walking backwards. Chucking goat bills. Yeah.

I'm okay.

Chaddicton. Chad's worried.

That's weird.

Yeah. First name is Sean Middle named Tucker. I'm here.

Alright. Well, that's one one question Friday.
