@stephaniemanescu by @paultirado   How to Increase Your Surface Area for Luck We’ve never worried about coming across as “too eager.” Mainly because we’re only eager toward the right people. Which, frankly, isn’t many. Improving your “surface area” isn’t just about square footage. It’s about knowing what you want from the world and increasing your odds of getting it by taking as many shots, from as many angles, as possible.  Feeling lucky?   This Has Increased in Value by 500% Since 2000. [Partner]  Gold & silver in retirement? It’s not just for pirates and preppers. Adding precious metals to your retirement mix helps hedge against inflation, diversify beyond stocks, and adds a little sparkle to your savings strategy. Unlike paper assets, gold & silver isn’t tied to Wall Street’s mood swings. It’s tangible, time-tested, and historically resilient during economic shakeups. In fact, gold has gained over 500% in value since 2000 and often rises when the dollar falls. With options like Gold IRAs, it’s never been easier to add some shine to your future.  Get a step by step guide for free here.   LEARN MORE   The 100 Best Podcasts of All Time We love a good podcast. Who doesn’t? Why haven’t we started one, you didn’t ask? Simple. We feel closer to you this way. In the form of a newsletter. There’s a profound difference between listening and reading.  One you can do while driving to work. One requires intimate focus.   The Story of Big Chuck: The Bodyguard Prince Would Ride Up on Stage He wasn’t a mountain man. But he was a mountain of a man. Weighing more than 400 pounds and standing six-foot-eight, Big Chuck was the buffer between the public and Prince. Good luck getting past him. He had a thunderous laugh, led with brute force, and always sported a grin.  He also carried Prince on stage. What a guy.   The Chaotic, Crash-tastic Sport of Auto Polo from the 1910s We usually save the throwbacks for Thursdays, but this couldn’t wait. Auto Polo. Auto Polo? As in? Yes. Polo, but with cars instead of horses. Played on dirt tracks with makeshift goalposts, it was chaotic, dangerous, and completely irresistible to early 20th-century thrill-seekers.  Albeit, short-lived. For obvious reasons.   The Mixer 10 chilling facts about the unsolved disappearance of the mob-connected labor leader Jimmy Hoffa. The best way to take a nap. These surreal French hovercars. What would happen if a baby was born in space? McDonald’s reveals new international menu changes. Scientists find evidence dinos did the moonwalk to attract mates. Albert Einstein’s 1915 letter to his son. This outpaced the S&P 500—and it’s not a tech stock.* *Partner       Quotes From Smart Men “If you want to be contentious wait until you learn what you have to contend with.
