The Daily Loop #139
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.

Interesting take, not sure what to think about this. But if we assume Alex is talking about acquiring social capital, I agree.

There are a lot of people who react to new information with fear (zone 2 as Justin mentions). But the weird thing is that it’s mostly when they have no control over such things.
So the inevitable response should be embracing it, and figuring out what you can do with it in the future. It may be hard to change your mindset but try your best to move more towards zone 3 & 4.
1 piece of advice from me
With the rise of social media, we put more importance on influential individuals over others. It’s dumb, because we all know, engagement doesn’t just come from “good content”.
Spend some more time listening to what everyone has to say, and ignore numbers. I’ve learnt SO much from those with no social media presence.
Keep moving your insight is priceless and superb
