I’m convinced that the most underrated trait in a romantic partner is that they bring peace into your life. Days are filled with enough chaos and uncertainty. Being able to come home to someone who defaults to emotional consistency, who creates a peace, is massively underrated.

Microsoft just launched Copilot Cowork — an AI "coworker" that works across Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, and more. And the pricing model? It's a first. You don't just pay a flat subscription. You also pay based on how much AI work gets done. Think about the evolution: 💿 1990s–2000s: Buy software once, own it forever 📅 2010s: Monthly subscriptions (thanks, SaaS) 🤖 Now: Pay-per-task AI usage on top of your subscription Microsoft's reasoning? AI agents consume serious computing power, so "unlimited" access just isn't sustainable at scale. Whether you see this as fair pricing or a new revenue grab — one thing is clear: the way we pay for software will never look the same. Are you ready for consumption-based AI billing in your workplace? #Microsoft #CopilotCowork #AI #FutureOfWork #SaaS #ArtificialIntelligence

43 years ago Today, Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair was released. Being an interactive film LaserDisc video game, it was the first arcade to feature fully animated characters vs the sprite games of the time.

Investing in yourself is the only investment with a guaranteed 100% return. 🚀 We often talk about market portfolios, real estate, and high-yield savings accounts. But the most valuable asset you will ever manage is your own skill set, energy, and network. If you want to fast-track your career growth, stop waiting for your company’s training budget to kick in. Here are the top four ways to invest in yourself starting today: ### 1. Upskill Aggressively (and Unconventionally) Don't just wait for mandatory compliance training. Find the gaps in your industry. Learn a complementary skill that makes you a "T-shaped" professional—deep expertise in one area, with broad knowledge in others. If you're a marketer, learn basic data analytics. If you're an engineer, study persuasive writing. ### 2. Build a "Personal Board of Directors" Networking isn’t just swapping business cards; it’s building relationships before you need them. Seek out 3–4 people: a peer who pushes you, a mentor who has been where you want to go, and an sponsor who will speak your name in rooms you haven’t entered yet. ### 3. Protect Your Energy Architecture Your output is entirely dependent on your input. Investing in yourself means setting hard boundaries around your sleep, nutrition, and mental white space. High performance is unsustainable without strategic rest. Think of it as preventative maintenance for your career. ### 4. Create a "Learn-by-Doing" Sandbox The best way to master a new skill is to apply it where the stakes are low. Start a passion project, write a newsletter, consult pro-bono for a local non-profit, or build a prototype. A portfolio of tangible projects always speaks louder than a line item on a resume. **The Takeaway:** Companies lay people off. Markets crash. Technologies become obsolete. But the skills, resilience, and network you build belong to you permanently. They are entirely portable. What is one investment you’ve made in yourself recently that completely changed your career trajectory? Let me know in the comments! 👇 #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #PersonalBranding #Leadership #Upskilling

@munster_gene I disagree. Android phones being more open are going to boom with agentic AI on our phones. Apple is so locked down, which has been great for non-tech, but we are getting to a stage where if you aren't techy you will be left behind.

@Markmanson @Donkz2a I was going to ask the same. My body just does not take those type of energy drinks though. The V8 energy drinks work best for me. Green tea and vitamin B without the jitters.
