Ray Dalio is the founder of Bridgewater Associates, one of the largest hedge funds in the world. His net worth is somewhere around $16 Billion. I recently finished reading his book Principles: Life and Work and it left an impact on me. My copy is loaded with highlights. In this episode, I share three of my favourite principles from the book but there could've easily been more. If you haven't seen or heard of Ray before, I'd encourage you to check him and his book out. If you're like me, you will learn something. Episode challenge: Spend 20-30 minutes thinking about some principles you'd like to live your life by. Ray's Book: https://www.principles.com/ Say Hi to me anywhere!

Every morning I read a page of The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. Each of the readings has some timeless life advice but every so often one really strikes a chord. That was the case with the passage I read today. It's such a simple concept I believe can have profound effects in day to day life. Instead of thinking of things as "have to's" consider them as "get to's". For example, instead of having to wash the dishes. Consider it as getting to wash the dishes because you had the opportunity to eat off them. Of course, this can relate to anything and everything but I think it's a simple trick to change the way we view things.

In high school, I was captain of the debating team. I've also had the privilege of meeting and interacting with up to 40 different people (sometimes more) a day whilst working at Apple Retail. I'm no expert but I've discovered a few things I use that help me to have better conversations, meet new people and speak better in public.

So Dave and I went into a float tank... together.... I messed up the booking and accidentally booked a couples float instead of a 2 for 1 float. In this episode, we try to explain our experience. Keyword being try. For anyone interested in trying out a float tank, I would highly recommend it, it's unlike anything you will have ever experienced.

Another five minutes of fire! Skip ahead a few minutes if you want to miss the short intro. Recently, I've been trying to be more careful where I'm putting my attention. You're the average of the five things you spend the most time doing, this relates to everything, especially now that many of our connected browsings are controlled by algorithms.

I decided to try a new episode format! Five minutes of Fire Friday's

Recently I've been learning a whole bunch about Machine Learning. It's starting to take over the world of tech and it will slowly (or quickly) change every single industry. In this episode, I go through a brief overall of what exactly the hype is all about Machine Learning, some examples of where it's used and places you can go to learn about it.

DAY 100! What an epic journey it has been! Thank you to everyone who has followed over the past 100 days. I've had some of the best fun of my life making this show. The 100-day experiment may be over but it is not the end of the show! I'll be back next week with episode 101! This was a new kind of episode, I had 4 very special guests on. Thank you all for listening!

Specialising in one thing for my whole life scares me (at this point and time, that may change). There's so much I want to learn. I read an article talking about how Elon Musk learns so much about so many different fields. In the article, I learned about the term expert-generalist.
