You become an adult when:



You realize everything eventually comes down to your ability to stick with what you said you'd do despite whatever emotions you may feel.

Hiring isn’t just a process.

It shapes people’s careers, incomes, and futures.

And when hiring is done poorly, the impact lasts longer than we think.

If we want better talent outcomes, we need better hiring practices.

⛔ Requiring unpaid projects
↳ No one should work for free.

⛔ Posting roles that aren’t truly open
↳ It wastes time and erodes credibility.

⛔ Providing little to no feedback
↳ Even brief clarity shows respect.

⛔ Ghosting candidates
↳ There is never an excuse. Candidates deserve closure.

⛔ Dragging out the hiring process
↳ Long timelines signal misalignment and cost you top candidates.

⛔ Putting candidates through interview marathons
↳ Multiple stages are unnecessary and create fatigue.

⛔ Hiding salary details
↳ Transparency saves time for everyone and builds trust early.

⛔ Running an overly rigid or impersonal process
↳ Candidates want to feel seen and not processed.

Want to attract top talent?

Start by treating candidates like they matter.

The next decade is the brain health decade, as I discussed with Bristol Myers Squibb CEO Chris Boerner at their Global Town Hall last week when Thrive Global launched our brain health partnership to their 34,000 employees.

BMS is customer zero, starting their brain health commitment at home before we take it to patients, families and caregivers around the world.

Brain health is a continuum, whether we’re talking about everyday brain fog, depression and anxiety, or the cognitive side effects of chemotherapy and stroke, all the way to cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s, every aspect of our health is impacted by brain health.

And as the science shows, every aspect of our brain health is impacted by the five daily behaviors we practice every day.

On aika poistaa autovero. 🚗
Helsingin Sanomat kertoo tänään, että halpojen käytettyjen autojen kauppa pitää pienet autokaupat hengissä. Uusien autojen kauppa on hyytynyt lamavuosien tasolle, mutta juttuun haastatellun mäntsäläläisen autokauppiaan mukaan muutaman tonnin hintaiset käytetyt autot käyvät nyt erityisen hyvin kaupaksi. Autotuojat ja -teollisuus ry:n arvion mukaan käytettyjen autojen keskihinta on 11000–12000 euroa.

Mistä tämä kertoo?
👉 Siitä, että suomalaisilla ei ole varaa uusiin autoihin
👉 Siitä, että autokanta vanhenee kiihtyvällä vauhdilla
👉 Siitä, että nykyinen verotus ei toimi
Juuri siitä, että nyt on oikea aika poistaa autovero.

Autovero on menettänyt merkitystään valtion tulonlähteenä uusien autojen ensirekisteröintien laskun, käytettyjen autojen tuonnin kasvun ja autoilun sähköistymisen myötä, täyssähköautoista kun ei kanneta autoveroa. Vielä vuonna 2022 autovero tuotti valtion kassaan reilut 500 miljoonaa euroa, mutta viime vuonna enää 276 miljoonaa. Vuosikymmenen lopulla veron lasketaan tuottavan enää noin 100 miljoonaa.

📉 Veropohja murenee joka tapauksessa
Samalla autoista kannettu arvonlisävero on pysynyt korkealla tasolla ja jopa kasvanut. Vuodelta 2025 ei ole vielä varmoja lukuja, mutta vuonna 2024 alvia kannettiin uusista autoista noin 680 miljoonaa euroa.
👉 Raha ei ole katoamassa – se siirtyy
Autoveron poistaminen olisi uusien autojen kaupan kaipaama piristysruiske – enkä usko, että poiston hyödyt kohdistuisivat pelkästään polttomoottoriautoihin tai lataushybrideihin, vaan välillisesti myös täyssähköautoihin. Odotettavissa olisi, että ensirekisteröintien kasvun myötä uusista autoista kannettava arvonlisävero kattaisi jo lähivuosina valtion menettämät autoverotulot.
👉 Kyse ei ole verotulojen menetyksestä, vaan niiden rakenteesta
Jollakin aikavälillä myös käytettyjen autojen tuonti vähenisi, kun suomalaiset uusisivat autojaan ja markkinoille tulisi enemmän kotimaisessa käytössä olleita autoja vastaamaan kysyntään.

Samalla myös ilmasto voittaisi, kun Pohjoismaiden vanhin autokanta alkaisi viimeinkin uudistua. On aika, että teillämme tupruttelevien autovanhusten tilalle saadaan enemmän nykyaikaisia, vähäpäästöisiä tai täysin päästöttömiä autoja.

👉 Nykyinen malli pitää kiinni vanhasta
On aika tehdä päätös, joka tukee sekä taloutta että ilmastoa.
On aika poistaa autovero.

How to be unrecognizable in 90 days:

1. Be obsessed

Every outsized outcome I’ve seen came from people who genuinely enjoy the pressure. Not motivated people. Obsessed people. It’s almost impossible to compete with someone who treats the thing you dread as fun.

2. Clean out your closet

Get rid of anything that doesn’t fit the person you’re becoming. Cluttered space creates cluttered thinking, and cluttered thinkers don’t make money. Changing how you show up physically is one of the fastest ways to change how you behave.

3. Clarify your ONE thing

Not five ideas. One. Put a number on it and give yourself 90 days to get there. You have to prove to yourself that you keep your word.

4. Tell a better story about yourself

Not a vision board. Write down the words. If your life were a book, what’s supposed to happen next? What goes wrong and how do you react to it? When challenges show up, it’s much easier to keep going if you already decided they were part of the plot.

5. Start a not-to-do list

Becoming elite means cutting distractions aggressively and doing fewer things better.

6. Eliminate distractions

Most distraction is optional so make it harder to waste time and easier to focus. Small changes here create outsized results.

7. Outwork people

If you wake up earlier, protect the first part of your day, and eliminate distractions, you will get ahead faster than you think. Because most people just aren’t willing to work hard.

8. Move in silence

When you’re actually changing your life, you don’t need an audience. Do cool shit. Then talk after the result.

Do this for 90 days and your life will look different.

Because you WILL be different.

I build AI agents for a living.
 
And I was still typing every single email by hand.
 
Think about that for a second.
 
I've automated lead gen pipelines, outreach sequences, CRM workflows, client onboarding... but the moment I needed to reply to an email or research a prospect before a call, I was back to typing like it's 2015.
 
The average knowledge worker spends 3 hours a day just typing. And switches between 1,100 tabs.
 
I was that person.
 
Then I found Lemon AI.
 
It's a voice AI agent for Mac. You press the Fn key, talk, and it executes whatever you said. Right where you are. No new tabs. No copy-paste.
 
Here's what changed in my daily workflow:
 
1️⃣ Emails that took 5 min now take 8 seconds I open Gmail, press Fn, and say "reply to this, tell them I'm interested but need pricing by Friday." Full email drafted. Tone matched. Done.
 
2️⃣ Prospect research before sales calls without opening Google I press Fn and say "research this company, find key decision makers and current news." Full brief appears on my screen. Zero tab switches.
 
3️⃣ Calendar, reminders, and file search with just my voice "Set a reminder to collect mails at 1 PM." Done. No clicking through 4 menus.
 
I've tested hundreds of AI tools over the past 2 years.
 
Most of them add steps to your workflow. This one actually removes them.
 
We're all so busy building AI systems for our businesses that we forget the biggest time sink is right in front of us: we're still manually typing and tabbing through everything ourselves.
 
It’s time to reclaim your time and focus.

Over to you: What's the one task you still do manually that AI should've replaced by now?

Being too professional is destroying your credibility.

Most don't realize they're doing it until it's too late.

We’ve been taught to be polite, careful, and polished.

But when those habits go into overdrive, 
they quietly make you look weak:

1. Losing composure under pressure 
→ Taking challenges or feedback personally in front of others 
→ Pause before reacting, respond with curiosity

2. Laughing through disrespect 
→ Letting people make jokes at your expense to stay likeable 
→ Name it calmly. "Did you mean to embarrass me just now?"

3. Over-apologizing 
→ Saying sorry for things that don't need an apology 
→ Replace "sorry" with "thanks for your patience"

4. Always seeking permission 
→ Checking in on decisions you're fully qualified to make 
→ Lead with "Here's what I'm doing" not "Is it okay if..."

5. Minimizing your value 
→ Deflecting compliments or crediting luck over your own skill 
→ Just say "thank you" and own your work

6. Not advocating for yourself 
→ Waiting to be noticed instead of making your work visible 
→ Share your wins. Visibility isn't bragging

7. Using hesitant language 
→ Softening your ideas with "just," "maybe," or "sorry but..." 
→ Say "I recommend..." instead of "I think maybe..."

8. Avoiding conflict at all costs 
→ Agreeing to keep peace instead of standing your ground 
→ Say "I see it differently - here's why."

You don't need to prove your worth by playing it safe.

You deserve to be valued for showing up fully.
