Just learned about a company pulling in $10M per month selling caffeinated mints.
$10 MILLION. Per MONTH. From mints with caffeine.
While everyone's out here trying to build the next unicorn with AI and blockchain, these guys took mints, added caffeine, and built a massive business.
There's something beautiful about this kind of simple innovation. No fancy tech stack, no venture capital buzz words, just solving a real problem people have.
Makes you wonder what other "boring" opportunities are sitting right in front of us.

«They called him a comical genius and carried his stories carefully home, and they wondered at how the stories spilled out on the way, for they never sounded the same repeated in their own kitchens.»

so, this past month i’ve finished two books (thanks to malika for recommending🥰 ): (1) the joy luck club and (2) the god of small things.
i’ve come across this comment by a reviewer and i think it just perfectly captures everything i love about family sagas and classic novels:
“The true classics know how to do one particular thing very well: They are able to capture the reader with the emotive ties to the characters in a microcosm while placing them in a grander milestone setting, historically. Many stories have attempted this balance and fall short in one aspect or another. Either the personal attachment is emphasized at the expense of the historical detail, or the historical events are diluted to platform the characters. In this case, both are developed successfully because we are introduced and weaned on to the family first and then become involved in their plight as gradually as they do. Political upheaval grew into their lives the way it grew into the narration.”

the past few weeks i’ve been working on smth new.
missed all this excitement and butterflies when u r betting on a potential project that might and might not work out. when all ur days are spent focusing on that one idea and getting it out there as fast as possible.

realization number 1:
ur body is actually quite smart when it comes to getting what it needs. the past two weeks i’ve been CRAVING raw salmon (had bruschetta, rolls, and sandwiches with raw salmon lol) - apparently my body just wanted some omega 3 and/or protein. cuz eggs & kefir were getting more attractive too.
realization number 2:
i found out that my ultimate way of dealing with pressure is just taking 40 mins in the evening to sit down and watch смешарики (or any other old cartoon) with some chocolate waffle. like when u’ve been working for the past week and can both physically and emotionally feel ur getting overwhelmed. probably gets me back to safety of childhood memories, dunno, but it’s been working for me for the past 2 years.
realization number 3:
we really tend to underestimate the time it requires to finish a certain job. every night i make a list of tasks for the next day and while usually im the most productive on Sunday, i can see that i rarely ever hit even half of what i’d set out to do. it just takes more time?
it’s 1:23 time

i truly believe that the only way to deal with an obsessive thought loop is not by trying to boost yourself up by thinking more positively of yourself but rather thinking bigger than yourself.
your values, your calling or however you call it is big enough, true enough and sustainable enough to carry you through self doubt because you essentially care so much about getting it done that you don’t have time and space in your mind for the above.
