An Excellent Wknd
Hello, hi, 👋
Welcome to the 24 wonderful humans who have joined us in the last few weeks & the 2 lovely souls who have joined the Chase Club during that time.
We didn’t send this out last week — for rather obvious reasons, it didn’t particularly feel like an Excellent Wknd — so this edition is doing double duty.
Here’s hoping you’re having a great weekend.
Let's jump in.

📍 WORTH YOUR TIME
Always Try to Do it the Hard Way
by Ryan Holiday
I was coasting on fumes when he asked me the question, so I don’t think I got the answer right.
To be fair, I was 90 or so minutes into being on stage for my talk in Sydney when I was asked: “If obstacles make us better, should we seek them out (or create them for our kids)?”
