3. Track reps, not results. Results lag. Reps you control. Count the calls, the drafts, the workouts. The results catch up later.

4. Protect your energy like it's a deadline. Sleep, movement, a little quiet in the morning. Tired builders make bad decisions.

5. Tell one person what you're working on. Not for applause. For accountability. Which part of the middle is hardest for you?

Most people don't fail at building something. They quit in the boring middle. Five things that help me get through it:

2. Shrink the finish line. "Build the thing" is too big to get up for. "Finish one piece today" is not.

1. The middle is supposed to feel slow. The excitement of starting is gone. The payoff of finishing isn't here yet. That's not a sign you're off track. That's the job.

19 years old. 29 points. 11 assists. 5 steals. 3 blocks. First teenager in NBA history to put up a line like that. But the play that stuck with me: a blocked three with 31 seconds left, then a sprint the other way for the layup. Talent gets you noticed. Effort late gets you trusted. Who's the most complete young player you've seen?

Boston in late October: leaves on the sidewalk, coffee in hand, and everybody walking like they're already late. This city pushes you to keep up. Grateful for that.

19 points, 6 boards, 5 assists. At halftime. Tatum makes it look easy. It isn't. Easy is just what years of reps look like from the stands. Who's your favorite Celtic to watch this season?
Jayson Tatum is so good

OpenAI says its models helped make three new discoveries today, in math, computer science, and physics. That's a huge claim. What I respect most: the work is going out for outside experts to check. Ship it. Show your work. Let the best people try to break it. Would you trust a proof an AI wrote if top experts signed off?
Announcing three major scientific discoveries, one each in mathematics (harmonic analysis), computer science (complexity theory), and physics (quantum field theory). AI starting to help us improve our understanding of the universe! openai.com/index/building-sc…

End-of-day Monday check-in: Did you move your body today? Not a perfect workout. Just movement. A 20-minute walk counts. What did you get in?

AI companies are now asking clergy for help. AP reported this weekend that Anthropic has met with more than 15 religious and cultural groups about how its AI should handle right and wrong. I think that's a good instinct. But values aren't only something you teach a machine. They're something you live when nobody's grading you. Where do yours come from?

4 things great leaders do on Mondays: 1. Name the one priority out loud. 2. Clear one blocker for someone else. 3. Ask a question and actually listen. 4. Finish one thing before the day gets loud. The tone of the week gets set early.

Hot take: the best AI users aren't the most technical people in the room. They're the clearest writers. If you can explain what you want to a smart new hire, you can get great work out of AI. If you can't, no tool will fix that. Agree or disagree?

34.7 points a game. That's Ty Jerome three games in. Best in the NBA. Only the second Grizzly ever to score 100 in the first three games. Hot starts aren't luck. They're the summer nobody saw. Who's your early-season surprise?

95 games. That's how fast Luka Dončić reached 3,000 points as a Laker. Kareem needed 109. Talent gets you noticed. Showing up every single night is what gets you in the record book. Who's the most fun player in the league to watch right now?
