INSPIRATION DUMP
I wanted to shake things up and share a bunch of things this week.
5 items in 5 categories. Things of old and things of new. Products I’m really digging right now, songs on repeat, albums I’ll forever love, IG accounts I get inspiration from, and quotes that hit home. I know all of you will find something in this list that will light you up.
Products
Here are the products I’ve been most excited about lately.
Snow Peak Titanium Sake Bottle - Zero regrets with this purchase. I never thought I’d be so excited about a water (sake) bottle. Impossibly light and a beautiful shape. It really is wild how strong titanium is.
iPad Mini - I love this thing. Perfect size. I keep it in dark mode for note taking which is easy on the eyes.
Vitsoe 621 Table - These are so fun and useful. The only table I’ve consistently seen people move around their home throughout the day and week for different tasks. They just blend into every space.
A love letter to plastic, too; The material has never felt so premium. These are heavy. I wish Technivorm would take note of Vitsoe’s approach to this material. I’ll always preach making touch-points as premium as possible.
LL Bean Mocs (“Dog walkers”) - Basically all I’ve worn this Winter.
Fellow Kettle - I drink a ton of tea in the evenings, mostly canarino lately. I just keep a bag of lemons on hand all the time and my kettle at the ready. It’s a real pleasure to use and look at.
Bonus: GW5000U. I only appreciate this thing more and more. This has gotten 90% of my wrist time since I got it. More and more I’m seeing Rolex guys pop up and say it’s their daily driver.

“For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up all the pins either.
Conditions are never perfect.
"Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually,’ just do it and correct course along the way.” - Tim Ferriss
“If you can’t be happy with a coffee, you won’t be happy with a yacht” - Naval Ravikant
“Don’t try to be someone, rather find the thing that is so engaging that it makes you forget yourself.” - Boyd Varty
“Fear is a mile wide and an inch deep
It looks like this ocean that you are going to step into and drown.
But as soon as you step into it you realize it was not that deep at all and you can keep walking through it.” - Leila/Alex Hormozi
“A man is about as big as the things that make him angry” - Winston Churchill
What about you guys? Is there anything in particular that has been lighting you up lately?
p.s. Are you subscribed to my YouTube Channel where I go in depth on all of this kind of stuff??? You should be.
p.p.s. Some of these links toss me a commission without costing you any extra. This goes to buying more things so I can talk about them. and g wagons.
Cheers!

Don’t forget us Omega guys who also love the 5000U! Great album picks. In Rainbows is Radiohead’s best album. I’ve been going through the band’s live sets that they released during 2020. Truly one of the greats.
