Recommendation · BodyDr. Scott Forbes recommends combat sport athletes take creatine as much as possible because it enhances performance and may be protective for the brain. Creatine-related weight gain is smaller than people think and does not prevent weight cuts in weight class sports. Even with the small creatine-induced weight gain, you can jump higher, so leg power increases despite being slightly bigger.

Recommendation · MoneyChallenge: if you've never made videos or talked about your work online but have been hacking and tinkering, every day spend 10 minutes, take your phone out (iPhone or Android), and record yourself talking about what you did that day. Post it to your social media of choice — Instagram or TikTok. Make a new Instagram account so your existing followers don't even know. Do it for 30 days straight.
Y Combinator · This Is How You Should Actually Make Launch Videos
Recommendation · MoneyCarmen Li advises that if you have servers on your balance sheet with financing obligations for the next five to six years and reserve contracts for only the first three, you are exposed in years four, five, and six. To hedge out that exposure, enter swaps or block trading. Even for the first three years covered by reserve contracts, there is counterparty default risk if the reserve contract counterparty fails, which can also be hedged via block trading around indices; block trades have a floating rate.
Creator's advice directed at the audience; counterparty risk discussion is her characterization.
AI Engineer · Buying GPUs Should Work Like Buying Stocks — Carmen Li, Compute Exchange
Recommendation · MoneyCarmen Li recommends matching contract type to need: reserve contracts for guaranteed compute with verified benchmarks, forward contracts for GPUs starting at a future date, and token forward contracts for dedicated token deployment with guaranteed SLA and fixed quantization/precision.

Recommendation · MoneyThe founder recommends keeping the input form visible and expanded directly on the page rather than requiring a click-through, so people can just type right in it. He reports that for a while Magic Patterns removed it to try to be more creative and their conversion rate totally tanked (self-reported).

Recommendation · FuelHuberman routinely takes 300 milligrams of alpha-GPC prior to cognitive work or a workout, and notes that 300 to 600 milligrams of alpha-GPC taken alone will allow people to be more focused without jitteriness. Because its duration of action is relatively short lasting, he suggests taking it about four to six hours before needing its effect.
Andrew Huberman · Essentials: Developing a Rational Approach to Supplementation for Health & Performance
Recommendation · MoneyBrockman recommends searching existing literature for a single relevant paper identifying a cure for a rare condition — for many NF1-type diseases a cure already exists in some paper — and scaling up such literature-mining operations, since precedent exists and it delivers short-run impact.

No Priors: Artificial Intelligence | Technology | Startups · The Changing Physics of Cybersecurity and Drug Development with OpenAI President Greg Brockman
Recommendation · MoneyBrockman recommends massively increasing parallelism and decreasing the duration of drug discovery steps to compress the pipeline, and using AI to write regulatory filings for clinical trials, which are a huge bottleneck taking about a year to prepare.

No Priors: Artificial Intelligence | Technology | Startups · The Changing Physics of Cybersecurity and Drug Development with OpenAI President Greg Brockman
Recommendation · MoneyOn the entrepreneur side, the speaker sees a chance to rethink the internet's broken business models from first principles — how economics, attention flows, knowledge sharing, and collaboration should be reorganized for an AI-empowered internet. He expects this great reconfiguration to play out over roughly the next decade.

Recommendation · MoneySam McKenna says her favorite discovery question is the multiple choice question, which sounds like: typically when I'm talking with B or C, which is it for you? The options A, B, and C have to be problems that you can solve, because that's how you steer the conversation in the direction of places you can help them.
30 Minutes to President's Club | No-Nonsense Sales · #619: Active Listening to Loosen up Your Discovery Calls and First Dates | Sam McKenna | 30MPC Hall of Fame
Recommendation · MoneySam McKenna recommends that if a prospect is guarded and won't elaborate, you accept it gracefully and pivot to sharing what you typically see with clients, then pause and ask the prospect to reflect on whether that sounds right or aligns with their challenges. She frames a guarded prospect as testing whether the next 27 minutes with you will be worthwhile, so you need to earn the rest of the call.

Recommendation · MoneySam McKenna recommends that when a prospect gives you a stream of consciousness, you do not interrupt and let them go until they finish. Afterwards, prospects often apologize for talking so long, and you should respond by thanking them and confirming it was exactly what you needed.

Recommendation · MoneySam McKenna says she loves to weave in a story when a problem comes up on a discovery call, and that after the story lands she pulls the rug out from under them and moves on to the second point, with the goal of making them want the outcome immediately on the discovery call.
30 Minutes to President's Club | No-Nonsense Sales · #619: Active Listening to Loosen up Your Discovery Calls and First Dates | Sam McKenna | 30MPC Hall of Fame
Recommendation · MoneySam McKenna recommends that when a prospect says they need help with something, you ask how they got there: who wrote it, what are the open reads, and what surfaced the issue. She notes this shows the prospect you're interested and helps you gather more information, and that since the prospect gave you 30 minutes and wants at least a lead toward fixing their problem, you shouldn't hesitate to ask questions.

Foundr · The NEW Creator Playbook that Took Me from $80K Debt to $250K/Day | Trybe
Recommendation · MoneyWhen new to a platform (e.g., YouTube) and unsure how to start understanding titles and thumbnails, build a custom research tool with agents before creating. Kova used a prompt to build a research tool that pulls thousands of videos from favorite creators to study titles and thumbnails, remix and create new thumbnail inspirations, and a YouTube homepage simulator to test whether a title and thumbnail stand out before building. The general principle: use agents to build custom tools for understanding how to build things before doing them, avoiding going through all the trenches of creating a video first.

AI Engineer · The AI Content System Behind 200M Views — Sarah Chieng, Cerebras & Cova Lee, OpenAI
Recommendation · SocialCoach Kyle says you don't always need to use the WeFrame in the positive; you can introduce it in the negative with the template 'we could never do blank together because blank would happen.' For example: 'Damn, you love to sit in the sun. We could never go to the beach together because I'm the type that after like 20 minutes, I'm already getting burnt. I'm going to be under the umbrella while you're just like bathing in the sun for hours. And I'm going to be like low key pissed off at you.' He adds that he personally can't sit in the sun for more than about 20 minutes before getting burnt.
Coach Kyle · STOP Saying 'I' to Women, Use 'We' Instead
Recommendation · SocialCoach Kyle likes using phrases to soften up the WeFrame invitation, with the first being 'I wonder if you'd be able to keep up.' When you find out she likes something you like to do, you can say 'No way you do that. We got to get a lift in some time. Actually, I wonder if you'd be able to keep up.'
Coach Kyle · STOP Saying 'I' to Women, Use 'We' Instead
Recommendation · SocialCoach Kyle says the easiest way to use the WeFrame is to simply say 'we have to go do blank sometime,' and that at minimum men need to start saying 'we got to go do blank sometime' in interactions.
