| Heyo, Nik here with your reads for the week. This time, our headliner focuses on something we can all use more of: The Wisdom of the Bullfrog by William H. McRavenA few years ago, Admiral William H. McRaven retired after a nearly 40-year-career in the US military. Not only did he survive the infamously difficult Navy SEAL training back in the day and go on various missions in the field several times, he eventually rose through the ranks. By the time he retired, he had not only led the entirety of the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) but also been "the Bullfrog"—the longest-serving Navy SEAL, with over 34 years on his record. Since then, McRaven has written various books to pass on what he has learned. In The Wisdom of the Bullfrog, he breaks down 18 sayings, mottos, and parables used in the military. All of them are highly practical ways to lead, not just as a soldier but also as a founder, employee, or even a parent. Plus, the mottos and stories surrounding them are hella inspiring! Here's what you'll learn from today's video:

I know it was a big week for many people around the globe. Besides the US election, which impacts many countries beyond America, over here in Germany, the government threw in the towel, which'll make for a crazy few weeks going into the new year, to say the least. But I thought about it on Substack and, at the end of the day, I think what really matters is this: What are you going to do, today, to make your life and the lives of everyone around you better? In that sense and with my ever-relentless, never-ending optimism for life and the world, I'd like to leave you with this quote: "The best predictor of a good tomorrow is a good today." — James Altucher Happy reading,
