♣ Thought of the Week

Source — @KevinEspiritu

◘ Are you independent in your food production? Do you buy groceries daily? Most people don’t know this, but check this post from Kevin.

He is one of the gardening Influencer I admire, constantly showing us what you can do from your home. You can produce your food, you dont need to buy things. You can get fresh vegetables right from your garden.

This is just an example he is showing. Now, tell me — Do you have a garden in your backyard?

♣ Tech

◘ AI is everywhere. Is it all it’s cracked up to be, or is it one big scam? Well, as it is for most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

In this video ColdFusion shows us that, despite some of AI’s useful contributions, the hype has also impacted the tech industry negatively.

♣ Creator Economy

One year in 40 seconds

That’s the title of this video, and that it. If you like these type of timslape videos, this one is must watch. I wonder how much effort the creator poured into this video.

Time can really fly — sometimes it feels like a year has passed in the blink of an eye!

♣ Pop Culture

This is an X (Former Twitter) thread showcasing Jackie Chan’s most insanely dangerous stunts. I wanted to include this here. Since my childhood, I have been thunderstruck by Jackie Chan’s ability to do these stunts, injured multiple times, and come back to do more stunts after getting fit.

This man is a LEGEND. Go through this, you will be WOW!

♣ Business

This is the video you need to see if you believe you need millions of followers to make money online or build a business online.

You are wrong; watch this.

Here, Alex Hormozi is talking about a woman who making millions with less than 6 thousand people following her, her average post gets 90 likes.

If you just want to start a business, please just start and go all in. You don’t need millions of customers, you need 1!

♣ Photo of the Week

A Rarely-Seen Lynx ‘Poses’ Majestically for Trail Camera / Source — PetaPixel.com

A rarely-seen Canada Lynx was filmed majestically striking a pose in incredible trail camera footage.

The images were captured by the Voyageurs Wolf Project in the woodlands of Kabetogama Peninsula in Voyageurs National Park, northern Minnesota — where Canada lynx roam in small numbers.

Remote cameras, also called trail cameras, gained popularity in the 1980s. They have given humans an unprecedented view into the secret lives of animals and the natural world.
