♣ Thought of the Week
◘ Every detour is an essential part of the journey toward mastery and the evolution of the soul, offering a lesson at each step. As long as we commit to rising up, showing up, maintaining forward momentum, and adjusting our perspective as needed, we will succeed.
♣ Tech
◘ Governments Can Suddenly Shut Down Your Internet – Here’s Why
We often take the internet for granted, yet a concerning trend is emerging globally: governments are increasingly resorting to internet shutdowns as a method of control. While a recent incident occurred in Bangladesh in 2024 , the mechanisms enabling such actions are also present in Western countries. This episode of ColdFusion investigates the issue of government-imposed internet shutdowns.
This quote from the video comment says it all:
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” ~ Frank Zappa
♣ Creator Economy
◘ Kai Cenat is the Exception
Before achieving “Streamer of the Year,” celebrity collaborations, and the epic 30-day “Mafiathons,” Kai Cenat was simply an aspiring creator. His transformation into a modern content titan was fueled by non-stop experimentation, a knack for going viral, and a strategy honed by observing industry leaders.
This documentary offers an in-depth look at his complete evolution, from his initial unsuccessful attempts on Facebook to the establishment of Twitch’s most captivating empire. Prepare to see a side of Kai Cenat you never expected.
♣ Pop Culture
◘ Ryan Reynolds Isn’t Enough
Ryan Reynolds, despite his success as the face of Deadpool, struggles with debilitating anxiety and self-doubt that he keeps hidden behind his famous smile. This video explores the inner turmoil Reynolds faces, particularly in light of the difficult process of bringing Deadpool to the big screen. Be warned: this content is not suitable for younger audiences and is intended for mature viewing.
Dodford’s celebrity docs are seriously top-notch. His editing style is super engaging and unique, it pulls you in so well that the 20-minute runtime just vanishes. He is great at really digging into the subjects and nailing what makes these people so special and inspirational.
♣ Business
◘ Fighting Workaholism: You Are Not a Success Machine
The tendency to overwork is often rooted in a more profound compulsion: an addiction to success. Arthur C. Brooks, HBS Professor and co-author (with Oprah Winfrey) of Build the Life You Want, provides guidance on overcoming this destructive drive in his video.
