💎  5 Tweet Tuesday 💎 

My favorite 5 tweets of the week. Let’s dive in:

#1 💎 

Right now the best trend on social media is seeing America again for the first time - through the eyes of World Cup tourists.

They are going into a Bass Pro Shop or a Waffle House and finding reasons to love America – while actual Americans just get hypnotized by the news into thinking everything sucks.

#2 💎 

I love this quote about Dan Brown, the author of the Da Vinci Code and other mystery/puzzle books (200M+ copies of his books sold around the world):

“If you’re seeking a meaningful quest as an adult, look towards the childhood toy you couldn’t get enough of. A childhood obsession…no matter how small...something that hypnotized your childhood self”

When Dan was a kid, his dad used to do something very unusual:

• Instead of Christmas presents, he would hide a treasure map for Dan under the Christmas tree

• Dan would then follow the clues all around the neighborhood until he found his present

He loved it and tapped into that as an adult, to write some of the most thrilling treasuring hunting books ever written.

#3 💎 

Love this. No success in the office can make up for a failure at home. Maybe not for everybody, but I choose for it to be true for me!

#4 💎 

If you simply:

• Don’t bet on sports

• Don’t install Instagram/TikTok on your phone

• Don’t eat fast food

You’re probably in the top 1% of the population. Success isn’t as much about being smart as it is about just not being stupid.

#6 💎 Brought To You By… Mercury

It’s 2026 and I can run my whole life from my phone - I can order a couch, a car, or a coconut from Sri Lanka in two taps.

But visit your local bank and you’ll see they’re still stuck in the 60’s (the little pens are still changed to the desks too!)

That’s probably why over 300,000 entrepreneurs have switched over to using Mercury.

Mercury is banking** that finally works. You can send wires, pay bills, issue invoices, manage cards — all in one place. No phone calls, no "please visit your nearest branch." And if you've got a team, you can give your bookkeeper access without handing them the launch codes.
