Most people wait until they leave before they start building what comes next. Tiki Barber did the opposite. He built his media career while still playing in the NFL and by the time he retired the path was already there.

Tiki Barber has one piece of advice for anyone thinking about their next chapter. Life is relationships. It is not what you know. It is who you know, who you are connected with, and who can do you a favor when you need one.

Tiki Barber was never the best athlete in the room growing up. His identical twin brother Ronde was always better. Being second best to the guy he shared a womb with pushed him to work harder and make the NFL.

If you think you are going to fail you are probably right. If you think you are going to succeed you are probably right too. @TikiBarber says doubt creeps in for everyone. Sometimes it is fake confidence that pushes you through.

John Tenet, founder of @ChaosDefense, built a $4 billion defense company in 4 years. This is what the next generation of American defense actually looks like.

Most people think America is untouchable. John Tenet, founder of @ChaosDefense , says that is exactly the problem. The gap between the world we want and the world we could get is smaller than anyone thinks and it is closing fast. This is the decade that decides it.

Defense companies are not slow because they are bad. The government pays them to be. Cost plus contracting means profits are a percentage of costs. Zero incentive to cut costs. Every incentive to grow them. John Tenet, founder of @ChaosDefense , breaks it down on RunRate.

A $500 drone can destroy a $10 million military truck. A $30,000 weapon destroyed billions in Pentagon radar infrastructure. This is not a technology problem. It is an architecture problem. John Tenet, founder of @ChaosDefense , breaks it down on RunRate.

The barrier to launching your own hedge fund used to be knowing rich people. Now it is just being good at picking stocks. Some investors went from $3K to $150K a month on @joinautopilot doing the exact same thing. @chrisjjosephs breaks it down on RunRate.

In 4 to 5 years picking your own stocks will be considered dumb. Why would you guess at it when you can have the best investors in the world do it for you automatically? @chrisjjosephs breaks it down on RunRate.
