When Will You Die?
find out NOW
Happy Monday, dream-chasers! 🚀 Let’s kick off the week with a double shot of determination and a sprinkle of fresh ideas. It’s a new day, a new week, and the perfect time to start turning those wild dreams into reality!
But before you start, here’s a task for you:
📌 Set the tone for your week by creating a “Wins Jar”
Grab any jar or container, and throughout the week, jot down small victories or positive moments on slips of paper. It could be anything—finishing a task early, a great conversation, or a new idea you had. Drop each one in the jar, and at the end of the week, take a few minutes to read them.
Now, let’s start with the day…
⚠️ HURRICANE ALERT
Hurricane Helene has now earned the unfortunate title of America’s third-deadliest storm of the century, with 215 confirmed deaths so far. It follows only Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Maria in terms of the devastating human toll.
In places like Asheville, North Carolina, the destruction was unimaginable, with flash flooding submerging the city.
Most of the deaths so far have been due to flash floods, and experts warn the toll could keep rising in the coming years as indirect deaths—caused by economic fallout, lack of healthcare access, and more—are factored in.
So, stay alert.
BTW, this test will tell you when you'll die
Scientists have come up with a fascinating new way to predict when you might die, and it’s called "CheekAge." Developed by Tally Health, this new method is a much less invasive version of the "epigenetic clock" technology that's been around for years. In short, it helps determine how fast you’re aging.
While some people age more slowly (the so-called “super-agers”), most of us follow a combination of our genetic makeup and lifestyle choices—things like smoking, drinking, stress, and diet. On top of that, environmental and ancestral factors, like exposure to pollution or even the stress of racism, also affect how quickly we age.
The big news here? Instead of relying on blood tests or a long series of assessments, researchers have found a way to predict aging just by using a cheek swab. After analyzing data from a long-term aging study in Scotland, they created what they call a "second-generation clock" that can detect important aging markers from cheek cells.
According to Tally Health, this cheek swab method can predict mortality just as well as blood tests, which is pretty groundbreaking!
Lastly, did you know about this secret school?
Avra, founded in 2023, is like a secret school for startup founders—but not just any founders. It’s for the ones who’ve already had some success and are looking to scale their business to the next level. Think of it as an exclusive, behind-the-scenes masterclass for growth-stage entrepreneurs. The curriculum? Top secret, only shared among those who make it in.
So, what exactly does Avra do? It helps founders tackle the tough stuff—building a solid executive team, maintaining momentum, and planning for the future. It's like getting a PhD in scaling a company, but the lessons come straight from people who’ve already been through the ups and downs themselves.
Here’s the cool part: Avra isn’t just about theory. The learning is hands-on, with practical advice from experts who've been in the founder’s shoes. They don’t just tell you what to do; they show you how to do it. Everything’s off the record, too, so founders can openly share their challenges and mistakes without worrying about it becoming public knowledge.
So, that’s it for today. Let’s meet again tomorrow 👋 Till then, stay safe!
