šŸ—ƒļø Hire people in their superpower


After the move, I was feeling overwhelmed setting up my new office.


So I searched TaskRabbit for a ā€œprofessional organizer.ā€ Never used it before. No idea what I’d find.


Then I read Dylana’s bio and reviews. She LOVES organizing. Does-it-for-fun loves it.

I booked two hours. $120 later, everything was organized beautifully.


The thing I was stuck on and avoiding…was her exact superpower. Win-win!


My review among 100+ others


šŸ«™ Can’t read the label from inside the bottle


One idea from Scott Galloway’s The Algebra of Wealth stuck with me.


When something comes easy to us, we assume it’s easy for everyone. So we don’t value it.

Here’s what they said I’m great at:


I added my full 360 Life Roadmap PDF into Claude to find more patterns


Connecting people. Curiosity. Creating.


To me those just felt like asking nosy questions and connecting with interesting people.

Text 3 friends: ā€œWhat’s something I’m weirdly good at that I probably undervalue or don’t see?ā€


The answers might surprise you. (Mine did.)


Then point more of your week at it. Charlie Munger said it best:


ā€œIf you play games where other people have the aptitudes and you don’t, you’re going to lose… You have to figure out where you’ve got an edge. And you’ve got to play within your own circle of competence.ā€
