@EliusSantos The biggest daily practice for me is walking about 1 hour a day, and limiting calories (typically skipping breakfast, drinking black coffee and water in the morning and not eating in the afternoon until I’m hungry).

@david_nge I’m still learning and exploring what it means to be a good friend, so I can’t speak with certainty on this yet.

What I can say: life typically slows down for folks 40+.

Your career is mature, your kids are older, there’s less pressure. So it’s a great time to find friends. 👍

@bpcronin @wasimlorgat @JamesClear For me, religious beliefs were the problem.

My friends and family that questioned those beliefs early in their life seem to have been less stuck than me.

@MoreWillie Crap! Sorry to hear that

@PhillipChaffee @m1guelpf @AdamMGrant *still making the transition.

Thanks!

@inversecos I have four kids (born 2002-2008) so I feel pretty connected to Gen Z. 😄

Although, I can see the divide as well. They definitely challenge me on a lot of my beliefs (which I think is healthy).

@PhillipChaffee @m1guelpf The worst belief was I was thinking “like a preacher, not a scientist” (@AdamMGrant).

I believed that I had (ideologically) figured things out. I wasn’t open to having my worldview challenged; I believed that my worldview was “god’s worldview” and that meant it was right.

@yongfook @bannerbearHQ Jan was a bad month for us too (way higher churn).

I think it’s a combination of unstable politics and economics.

It’s rebounded in Feb.

@iAmKevinMcKee @m1guelpf Interesting. My advice would be the opposite! 😂

(We had our first at 22, and our youngest at 28)

@nickfrosty My knees are good!

I don’t jog though. Snowboarding, cycling, walking, squats.

@mjwhansen Most of those hikes are within the last 4 years. Lots of catching up to do.

@VovaZk Every journey is different; your struggle is likely different than mine.

(Have you tried multiple therapists?)

Another thing that really helped was @JamesClear’s philosophy:

“Every (daily) action you take is a vote for the person you’ll become.”

@jonfriesen Oh man. All the things I’m struggling with now. Lol.

Again, this is probably dependent on your journey but this stuff: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1360707883587936256

@mjwhansen That’s been the biggest thing.

My biggest mistake was believing (in my 20s) that I was “right” ideologically, and then holding on to that many years. It gave me self-esteem but at the expense of personal growth.

It caused a lot of emotional, social, relational problems.

@m1guelpf Time definitely goes faster. (But it might be correlated with just having more responsibilities, especially when you have kids).

Biggest thing is I had pretty strong beliefs in my 20s (religion) that definitely had a negative impact.

Those beliefs kept me stagnant emotionally.

@divspace @VovaZk Definitely worth doing (and there probably isn’t an “end;” just an ongoing process!)

@Aazarshad My physical health feels pretty good overall. A bit more stiff, but nothing major (yet).

I’ve found that daily exercise (walks) works the best for me.

@amorriscode @AdamMGrant Reading @JamesClear’s book Atomic Habits was helpful, especially “every action you take is a vote for the person you’ll become.”

And:

“Think like a scientist, not like a preacher.” – @AdamMGrant

(Not feeling like I have it all figured out and can stop exploring and growing)

@francomunizar 1. Having an open mind: strong entrenched ideology in my 20s had a negative impact.

“Think like a scientist, not like a preacher.” – @AdamMGrant

2. Doing personal and emotional work (through therapy).

@djthedev Definitely a problem.

@NimrodKramer Stiff! My lower back has been sore lately 😅

@VovaZk This probably really depends on you.

For me, I waited way too long to do some internal, emotional work. I’ve been going to therapy since I was 36 now, and it’s really helped (but I have a lot of catching up to do).

@wasimlorgat I used to feel anxious about keeping up, but then I met @JamesClear. His “every action you take is a vote for the person you want to become” and that helped me to focus on my own journey. 👍

Honestly I was more set in my ways in my 20s. It took decades for me to become more open

@maggerbo A bit, yeah. But not much.

@iChris Dammit chris!

@LenaSesardic Mostly my body feels ok. A bit more stiff but other than that I feel good. 😜

@mattlady I’m still figuring it out, honestly.

But doing the emotional work internally feels like it’s setting the foundation.

A strong internal foundation seems to set up healthy intentions.

@amorriscode For me, the pathway has involved therapy (and most recently hypnotherapy).

I wish I’d done this work throughout my 20s and 30s.

Strong entrenched ideology in my 20s had a negative impact.

“Think like a scientist, not like a preacher.” – @AdamMGrant

@joxxnie I really got my bell rung the other day snowboarding, so... yes.

@danieldibartolo My bones mostly feel ok, but I am more stiff...

@owenconti Oh gosh. 0%

(Did my chiropractor tell you to ask this?) 😅

@mattlady 1. I’m endlessly curious about other people’s internal lives... so yes.

2. Developing my sense of purpose and esteem outside of work (wish I’d started this earlier)

3. Strong ideology (especially religion).

@anandp29 I still don’t have a good answer for this (largely because I did a terrible job of that for most of my 20s and 30s).

The biggest thing: you can’t get your entire sense of purpose and esteem from your “work self.”

You need internal, personal, and relational maturity too.

@AndamoHondo Lol.

Not me! But you will definitely be thinking more about how to improve your home.

@jongold My back just started hurting (and I’m 40).

Whenever I bend over to tie my boots I have to grunt now...

@ndwignall Finally going to therapy.

Realizing I had a lot of internal stuff to deal with in my personal life (even though I felt like I had it “all together”).

I recently tried hypnotherapy and it’s been very helpful.

@Martin_Adams Yes, but only because of therapy, and doing some serious emotional work (that I ignored for years).

☝️ I realize this has become a trope (“40 year-old man goes to therapy and discovers emotions”) but I seriously neglected some internal stuff for a long time.

@v0jta_ Funny enough, I’ve been 40 for 7 months and my low back has been seriously stiff. 😂

What do folks in their 20s and 30s want to know about being 40+?

@marshal You can’t buy an empty lot that big in the PNW for $600k 😯😯

@nbashaw Greenland was the most stressed I’ve been in a long time.

@iChris @chriscoyier @suenns @mattmcgee Yes.

@DavidSpade loved your episode on @ConanOBrien’s podcast. I laughed a lot! 🙌

RT @AlPalVipond: This is *the way* to build a marketing page in 2021. A few years ago, it took me weeks to figure out a setup that was half…

@AlPalVipond Thanks for sharing it Alex!

@heyjoshwood @TransferWise Um. You forgot to include your referral code!

@pjrvs Maybe we’re both high on mushrooms 🍄 right now

@pjrvs Does this mean you always seem older than you are?

@TransistorFM @leenyburger @mjwhansen @SoftwareSocPod Awesome work! 🙌

@CasJam Standing by waiting for your call.

@earthlingworks @BrendanHufford @CasJam @JordanGal @JamesClear Yes. I think it is *a* factor, but it's by no means the *only* factor.

At a base level, customer demand for a product you're able to build and distribute effectively is what's needed.

@JohnHargrove 👍 yup

@BrendanHufford @earthlingworks @CasJam @JordanGal Yes!

What I like about this is that all of us can "take actions every day to be the person we want to become" (@JamesClear).

We can systematically gain some of these advantages.

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/961340138415472641

@robfitz Oh nice. I like this framing.

(I’d tweak it a bit to say “more meritocratic,” since your historic advantages like network contacts + financial cushion continue to play a role in success)

Is this from something you wrote?

RT @mijustin: ⚡ Your ability to launch a product relies on hundreds of events in your history:

The people you know
​The skills you've lear…

@CasJam @earthlingworks @JordanGal I think the nuance here is that, as a founder, you should bring every advantage you have to the table.

If it’s a built-in audience, you should definitely use that.

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1221504985101291520?s=20

@nickbulljs Can you give me an example?

@jongold I have so many questions

Lol. Yup.

Do Clubhouse mods just never sleep? https://twitter.com/webby2001/status/1360043627280535566

@prmsltd @TransistorFM Awesome! 🙌 Thanks for choosing Transistor!

I'll take a look at this.

In the meantime, I have some podcast audience growth tips here:
https://transistor.fm/ideas-promote-podcast

@jtwebman More in the sense of still being indie, without (really) being beholden to anyone else.

@punchlinecopy No Rhythm is a Dancer?

https://youtu.be/KkhGkRahU6g

@RamliJohn @YouTube I just post actual video clips to YouTube and social media and link to the full episode. 👍

@jtwebman In this case “bootstrap” is more of a mindset.

It will be interesting to see how this distribution of returns compares to new bootstrap-friendly funds like Earnest, TinySeed, and Indie:

@dannydjones @adamwathan @tailwindcss @tailwindui @Netlify @vite_js @Alpine_JS @GustCDN Yeah! I’ve been listening to you and @ninjaparade talk about this.

How does it work? Does it replace all the Vite stuff, but in the cloud?

(Thanks for all the help @adamwathan 🚀)

My first programming tutorial video of the year! 🙌

💻 How to build a landing page with @tailwindcss (+ @tailwindui) and deploy to @Netlify.

(Under the hood we're using @vite_js and a sprinkling of @Alpine_JS)

https://youtu.be/41kqZYK3wRI

Ok. Exporting this and uploading it to YouTube shortly:

@RaulOnRails @joerogan There's a lot of passive engagement you get on podcasts.

Sure, right now there's a lot of "real-time" engagement on Clubhouse (and I love it too!), but the excitement (and engagement) with a new platform rarely lasts.

I think we should enjoy Clubhouse now (while it's hot).

@yusufgiftworks @dvassallo @TwitterSpaces Yup, I've already written about this here:

https://transistor.fm/spaces-clubhouse/

@derrickreimer @OrionSeven Keep in mind that Twitter is building their own version that will be native inside Twitter:

https://transistor.fm/spaces-clubhouse/

💯 Podcasts > Clubhouse https://twitter.com/derrickreimer/status/1359640736254337025

Anyone want an early preview of this "@tailwindcss landing page" tutorial?

I just exported it to Loom. I'll DM you the link.

@debgotwired NICE

Thanks for using Transistor! 🙌 https://twitter.com/kaleighf/status/1359564594335936516

@saranosocks Nice! I like these attributes.

Can you give me examples of the no-code / design communities you've joined?

@saranosocks What do you feel is missing?

In terms of size, what seems ideal? What would you want the focus to be?

Would you like to see something on a different platform? (Discord, Slack, forums?

@ninjaparade lol.

@podcastharry Looking for folks who can build the biggest audience? 🤔 Or... folks who can build the right-sized audience the fastest? 😄

@theothercole I’ve been hearing it on podcasts lately. 🤔

@theothercole I just stated noticing that “double click” term being used. When did that start?

@davidhemphill Hahahaha

I know I’m a programming noob, but every time I learn something new I get so fucking pumped. 💪

Learning stuff like this gives me the same high as drugs. 💊

I think it will be helpful for folks who want a quick start guide for simple HTML sites that goes beyond "just link to the tailwind.min.css build on CDN."

"How do I:
- install and config @tailwindcss,
- so I can build an HTML landing page (using @tailwindui), - and deploy it to Netlify?"

@adamwathan just walked me through the steps (using @youyuxi's @vite_js as the build tool).

I'm going to publish this as a tutorial soon. ✌️

This made me spit out my tea. 🤣 https://twitter.com/MikaelThalen/status/1359209202292428800

@noahwbragg https://smartmockups.com/

@jonhainstock @carrd Multiple examples in this thread:

I'd argue Crisp, WPengine, Endcrawl all did a version of this.

@screeley whoa! Nice move acquiring @_PodLink and getting @NathanG onboard. He's a killer hire. 🙌

@jmlacroix All it takes is one podcast to grab you, and then you’ll be a fan for life. 😉

@dohertyjf Odd. That hasn’t been my experience.

There are always problem customers, but many SMBs are great to work with.

Yes! 🎯

You definitely want to charge enough to:

- do the basics well
- have sufficient margins

The nice thing is: being small helps improve your margins. You don’t need $100 million in revenue to have an incredible life. https://t.co/fZYtJTBtme

@dohertyjf Not sure what you mean by that?

As products move upmarket, they leave behind unserved gaps in the market.

But those gaps often consist of SMBs who want:

"The basics done well, at a more affordable rate."

Plus: many old incumbents have crusty, slow software (with bad UX).

Enterprise customers have to put up with it, but SMBs want more:

"They don't have the features I want."
"The features I want are stuck in $999 enterprise plans."
"This software is unusable and expensive."

@darkgoldblade01 @fhostingio Yes! There's likely a market for that. (Especially when the old options, like FlyWheel, have been acquired)

@RJMcCollam @spencerfry wait i thought spencer and i agreed that only one of us could tweet at a time
