5 Tweet Tuesday - August 20, 2024
💎 5 Tweet Tuesday 💎
If you’re new around here, every week I share the 5 best tweets I saw in the past 7 days.
I scroll, so you don’t have to.
Let’s get to it:

Having someone you can share tweets with is just a big flex, especially if they always get the context.

🏋️ I made a Deadlift ETF with only companies with CEOs that lift weights or do fight sports (not just cardio)
It outperforms the S&P500 by 140% or 2.4x over the last 4 years!
Lifting weights = $$$

Hahah. I’d buy the deadlift ETF.
Some of the CEO responses:
Brian Chesky (AirBnB) – “I deadlifted 585 lbs in my early 20s (6 plates on each side)”
Brian Armstrong (Coinbase) – “I’ve been working out 6 days a week for quite a while now. Good recent performance, but entered a rocky market post direct listing. Good thesis to test!”

Cold drinks are 75% of Starbucks bev sales - wild stat

Many businesses are not what they appear:
Airlines are credit card companies (not transportation)
Calm is a sleep app (not meditation)
Starbucks sells cold sweet drinks (not hot bitter coffee)
Colleges sell their brand stamp (not education)
What are other examples?

From @JamesClear newsletter:
You don't have to claim everything you feel.

Tim Ferriss told me a great line on this subject. He has interviewed hundreds of top performers/thinkers, and he said one line has always stuck with him.
It came from BJ Miller, a guy who worked in hospice care and has been with thousands of people as they died.
The line was: “Don’t believe everything you think.”
Just because a thought pops into your head doesn’t make it true, or useful.
Interrogate your thoughts. Find the ones that serve you, and ditch the rest.
