<p>Hello my dear show notes readers,</p> <p>Welcome back for another episode advice. This one starts of personal for me as I explain how I've been getting into lifting weights. In the process, life reminded me of the old adage<br /> "experience is what you get, when you don't get what you want." In short, I try to be as honest with myself and you as I can about hitting the bit 4-0 and making some important life decisions. </p> <p>Later, we devolve into our usual banter with a heavy dose of AI talk. Dan and I are both having a blast with <a href= "https://blog.nateliason.com/p/ai-course">Nat Eliason's</a> Course <a href= "https://build-your-own-life-coach.circle.so/checkout/access">Build Your Own Life Coach</a>. If our convo piqued your interest, you should check it out. </p> <p>Later, Dan decides to match my energy - if you don't know what I mean, check out the Adam Grant and Charles Duhigg books below - and gets personal on recent challenges facing one of his ecomm businesses. </p> <p>Y'all, it's simultaneously hard and exciting out there and we get REAL this week. </p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Sean</p> <h3><strong>Books Discussed:</strong></h3> <ul> <li><em>The Sovereign Individual</em> by James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg</li> <li>Works of Carl Jung</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Companies Discussed:</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Bloomberg</li> <li>Amazon</li> <li>Google</li> <li>Apple</li> <li>Walmart</li> <li>Peloton</li> <li>Academy Sports + Outdoors</li> </ul> <p><strong>Chapters</strong></p> <p><strong>00:00</strong> Embracing the Big 4-0<br /> <strong>03:53</strong> Winding Down Fig: A Tough Decision<br /> <strong>09:55</strong> Lessons Learned from Business Ventures<br /> <strong>12:48</strong> Setting New Goals and Exploring AI<br /> <strong>25:36</strong> The Evolution of AI and Data Privacy<br /> <strong>33:31</strong> Personal Updates and AI Coding Adventures<br /> <strong>40:28</strong> Challenges of E-commerce and Tariff Enforcement<br /> <strong>48:13</strong> Navigating Tariff Codes and Compliance<br /> <strong>54:08</strong> Exploring Global Living Options<br /> <strong>59:18</strong> Insights from Carl Jung<br /> <strong>01:04:16</strong> The Power of Consciousness and Fate<br /> <strong>01:08:11</strong> Reflections on Planning and Control</p>
