One Question Friday: What Random Things Are You Into Right Now?

hey sam and sean this is colby from wood bridge virginia it seems like you guys are always finding cool stuff whether that's media or cool tools so anyway my question is what have you been into recently thanks okay so the question of the the one question friday we got was basically around what are just random we seem to be into really random things what are some of these random things that we're really into right now stuff that we really like it could be a podcast it could be video it could be a book it could be a app or a tool anything like that what are we into it's kind of like our info diet or the tools in our tool belt that we really like right now so sam what do you got alright should you i'll write off all three of mine because they're all related so the first one the both of these might sound all three might sound a little obvious but hear me out so youtube premium are you a subscriber to youtube premium i am a long time youtube premium subscriber most people aren't and so i actually unsubscribe from spotify so i don't use paid spotify anymore i only use youtube and the reason being is i watch all my tv on there but b you can listen to any music and they make playlist for you and then you could lock your phone and put it in your pocket and you could listen to music playlist and it's way better than spotify because they have live versions and like un release versions and like illegal stuff you know like things that were like you know aren't copyrighted things like that so i like youtube premium the second one do you ever listen to audible i am not an audiobook book guy i always found it boring and a little slow i kinda tuned it out so there's this thing called audible original so first all there's audible plus which is if you pay for it you get all these free audio books so i'm always clicking it around but they've got some that are a short thirty minutes so like short stories or like a short like class but then they have audible originals and they'll do like courses remember youtube or itunes university it's almost like that so they like put like whole like stanford lectures so i just click on one of the lectures and listen for a few minutes on audible originals or they do this other thing where they have these like huge productions where it's an audiobook but there's like famous actors and multiple of them so it's almost like a play or a movie but audible only and it's free if you're a subscriber so i like that and the last thing all related have you ever used the app libby have you heard of libby never heard of this you have a library card no okay so if you go to your local library and you get a card which free you can enter in your library card to this app called libby and you could access unlimited amounts of ebooks in audio so long as the library in your town has it when only only from that one library no no no from like it's like everything like in like anything you could imagine it's like bare yeah but listen there's one major downside which is some things like the popular titles they'll like are they're only allocated i don't know how they do this they're only allocated a certain amount like ten copies so like there's this book called catch me if you can that i wanted to read it was pretty popular so i a click request hold and then like i got it like three days later so you just request like you want like ten twenty thirty fifty things and like you know each thing is released like every couple of days and so it's not always instantaneous but a lot of times it is but it's it's called libby free audiobooks and free ebooks it's pretty sick that's kind of amazing i had never heard of that and i feel like nobody knows about that so they're not gonna be checked out when i when i go do it or at least where i'm from okay so i'm gonna give you a few things that i'm really into right now i'm just gonna go quick because none of these are super revolutionary but they're just things i like so sending voice notes an imessage i have i went from i never sent a voice note and i was like why is this feature even here and i heard that people in china in asia i'd love to do it because it's slow to type there i think because now a dad i'm always just like on the go or i'm not by my computer all the time i can't i'm holding a kid one arm i'm just trying to type in the other i have gone all in on on voice notes it's basically how i run my business now as i'm just sending voice notes all day to my team this data is wrong every freaking time have you heard of hubspot hubspot is a crm platform where everything is fully integrated well i can see the client's whole history calls support tickets emails and here's a test from three days ago i totally missed hubspot grow better dude i hate voice notes i hate them well you hate receiving them you hate receiving them so if we're if you and i are in friend mode i'm not listening to one if you and i are in work mode well no not even you are me if mean an employee in work mode i expect they're gonna listen to mine if i'm the boss and so i get why that's cool but if we're peers and you send me one i just automatically default to u yeah u just the response it's definitely an f u to the receiver it's like you sit here and listen to me talk slowly and ramble for a minute but like hey that's kind of what this podcast is too so you know whatever alright my second one this app that's called i think it's called compounding i think you use this to compound or compounding you have this app personal finance one yeah it's basically just one app that lets you plug in basic metrics like if you started with a hundred grand as it's compounding at a six percent rate in ten years it'll be here fifteen years it'll be here twenty five years over be here and the reason i do this is not because every day i need to run a compounding interest calculation but everyday i should just as a reminder of the power of simple compounding i think warren buffett has said you know compounding interest is the eighth wonder of the world or something like that hundred percent true and i think it is very like compounding interest basically breaks your brain it's very hard to like foresee how a a simple change between five percent or eight percent will matter over a ten year or fifteen year period but it matters in a big way yeah it's really fun because i just have a compound interest one yeah this is this is all that's all it does okay but that it's simple and it's my reminder that sloan steady wins the race because i'm pretty ad when it comes to investments ideas things like that i need to remind myself of the power of compound interest over long term okay related there's a twitter account that you should follow that everybody i think should follow called i never give twitter counts as kinda shine because we do got that influence this it's gonna blow up but this person deserves it their name is ten k diver have you ever seen this account love them love ten ten k diver is basic is just basic personal finance so it's just basic not personal finance it's basic financial knowledge so it'll be like hey if you're ever looking at a company a cup of coffee and sit down because this sunday we're talking about balance sheets how to look at them what to learn and bubble and he just breaks it down so simply so beautifully there every like simple finance finance concept is being broken down by this person they've shot up they like two hundred fifty thousand followers now and after this they'll have at least two hundred fifty two thousand followers i believe and so the this account is to me one of my favorite high signal things i normally hate twitter threads i love this guy twitter threats i find a lot of benefit in just re reviewing the basics or learning the basics for the first time of something that i didn't really understand or no so ten k divers my next one there's a billion websites on chrome but most people are using it ineffective here's the five best plugins that you need to be using right now shout up to that guy jack did you see he did a a a mock thread on these he guys there are twenty six letters in the alphabet but most people don't know how to use them here's my favorite letters how to use them a a is an awesome letter and did the second like three thousand i sent to him right when he did i go this is amazing that thread did over a hundred thousand hundred thousand like maybe two hundred thousand something like larry same alright second thing next one is i talked about this before the trigger point massage ball so when we were at camp m fam mike i had like an achilles problem you were like hey you need to use the the gun and to loosen it up and this other guy was like y use this he threw me like a lacrosse ball yeah and he's like used this to roll out your calf and i did and it like i went i wasn't gonna be able to play like i was able to play you know like just because that thing loosened it up so well and i i forgot to give back to the guy so i ended bringing this lacrosse ball home and two things happen one start playing the lacrosse fucking love no i love just having a ball in my hand at old all times i just was walking to the airport i was just bouncing it around dude just i'm like a little child having a ball just makes my life fifteen percent better i love f with like you know all lacrosse ball it's amazing and so i i had it through the airport the airplane and i have at home all the time now i'm playing with this thing and i'm also using it for these point massage for this like you know a fashion out release or whatever they call it it's like this this thing that helps you feel more limb and loose okay i have another fitness related one that sounds gross but for somebody out there this might be helpful goat milk you have a drink goat milk not much i i eat a lot of that goat cheese but no goat milk kinda has grossed me out oh well goat cheese is the creme la creme we all know that there goat milk most people are a little bit grossed out about or they just don't know about it i got put onto to this but my trainer he's like hey if you wanna put something in your your smoothies or shakes protein shakes or whatever instead of using normal milk use goat milk for most adults you're able to digest goat milk better and i think also like the enzymes in goat milk don't like block the protein ends so if you're drinking a protein shake and you drink normal like like lactose based milk i think there's like some inhibition where it doesn't like work as well but taste better but doesn't work as well so goat milk has been a little trick and my last fitness one walking backwards which is from the the knees over toes guy playbook i have had knee problems in both knees i've torn my mc on both sides i've dis both knee caps before i do not have good knees in general and i'm trying to work on that and one of the things that's helped me feel better and like you know run better all the stuff is doing you know what do they call it like regression movements basically going in the opposite way that you normally go so let's say you always sit hunch over to computer then you need to do specific exercise going in the opposite direction to sort of like you know counter this other movement you've been habit situated to most of us only run and walk forward so back pe is an amazing way to sort of like strengthen and push blood flow into the parts of your body that need it and i feel better doing like this like five minute backwards walk every single day so look if as hell walking around the neighborhood backwards but it's a thing that i'm doing that i enjoy right now chad per you're talking about the cross balls and i'm walking backwards goat yeah damn am okay chad chad yeah first name sean middle name tucker i'm here alright well that's one one question on friday
