Hey hey, Nik here. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 In the Turkey Edition of The 4 Minute Read, we have our usual mix of great books and a once-a-year deal for Blinkist* that'll allow you to digest a different book's ideas each day for just 5 cents a day. Check it out while it lasts (only this weekend). Here's what's in store:
The Wisdom of the Bullfrog by Admiral William H. McRaven
The first time I ever heard the word "bullfrog" was in that Simpsons episode up top. For Navy SEAL's, however, the title is the highest honor: It's an award given to the longest active SEAL on duty. When William H. McRaven received it after nearly 40 years of service, he reflected on what allowed him to lead such an illustrious, successful career in the military. The Wisdom of the Bullfrog is the result, breaking down 18 short sayings, mottos, and mantras that special forces use to get the job done, persevere in their efforts, and lead with courage and integrity. If you want to become a respected leader and succeed in your career, read this summary.
If you have money left over by the time you die, that's nice for your children, who'll inherit it, but it also means you've spent perhaps several years working for free — you never got to enjoy those fruits of your labor!
That's only one problem with the traditional "work hard, retire late" model, and Bill Perkins saw many others. Eventually, he came up with a better model — a model that isn't indulgent or frivolous but that still allows us to enjoy our money while we're still here without neglecting the people we care about.
Die With Zero breaks down that better way of looking at money, and in today's video, we'll break it down. You'll learn how to...
Invest in timeless memories, not in fading success.
Spend your money while you're still here to enjoy it while also taking care of your children.
The only way to speed up securing your financial future is to reinvest interests and profits.
If you're tired of saving for a retirement that might never come and want a better way of using and enjoying your money right now, watch this video.

In today's crowded world, being good is no longer good enough. You need to make something great, yes, but you also need to stand out. If you don't stand out, you might as well be invisible. That's what Seth Godin, perhaps the world's #1 marketer and the industry's most beloved teacher, thinks. In his classic book and same-titled concept, Purple Cow, he explains how you can do that while still serving fans, users, and customers in the way they deserve to be treated. If you want to know what it takes to stand out in a good way in today's noisy world, read this summary.
