“I'm investing in young people who will carry things forward.”
Investing in people who will outlive you is one of the most leverage-heavy things you can do. Whatever you teach them, whatever you model, travels far beyond your own reach. The quality of that investment matters enormously — so show up prepared, be honest, and give them the real version of what you know.
Your Practice
Name one young person you are investing in. Write down the single most important thing you want to transmit to them — not a skill, but a way of seeing or operating in the world. Then identify whether your actions around them actually demonstrate that thing. If not, close the gap with one concrete step this week.

“He who dies and yet does not perish, has longevity.”
