The Daily Loop #130
3 quotes, 2 short form tweets, 1 long form read and 1 piece of advice from me. Consume 2 minutes of information to help you advance your knowledge in different fields.
The Daily Loop newsletter focuses on information that can be consumed in 2 minutes every day by linking to posts across the internet, formatted in a way that is easy for anyone to navigate. In a 3-2-1-1 design (quotes, short-form content, long-form content and advice).
The goal is for as many people to read this daily and inspire them to think differently about certain things. It will primarily be around topics and industries I am interested in such as: startups, ai, success, innovation, change, crypto, nfts, etc.

Progress is happening everywhere in tech right now. One of the things I am most excited about (since I am building a game) is what Epic Games is doing with Unreal Engine.

10M views on the tweet, but more importantly, this is not normal. There are hardly any games that will ever reach this level… ever.
Going to sit down and play this today!

I wanted to share one of the best posts I’ve seen since Daily Loop started. I went down the rabbit hole after reading this tweet. I’ll give you an important overview:
Dan Siroker is the Co-Founder & CEO of Rewind, a platform designed to give you perfect memory with tech (see video to understand what that means)
He just raised at a $350M Series A valuation after an atypical way of raising: reaching out to public
And it was one of the best pitches I’ve seen, a lot to learn from a successful founder
It’s also a product that someone has been recommending for me to use for a while. I am going to get it today. It sounds amazing.
Worth following Dan. It inspired me a lot today. Let’s continue to build!
1 piece of advice from me
It’s nice to want to be motivated all the time, but it’s also unrealistic.
Get rid of the idea that you can always be motivated when doing something. Whether that’s working or going gym. What you can do, which is easier said than done, but can be trained—is fight your mind. Fight your mind every time you are trying to delay something, get it done straight away, don’t think twice.
