Eating the Nutritious Frog

Good Morning Billionaires! Guess who got a makeover? Evidently, there is a comet heading our way, and we wanted to look our best. Let’s get into it.

Mental Health

I hope you are doing well. I wanted to talk about fatigue - a problem that affects us all at some point. With the fast-paced world we live in and all the responsibilities we have, it's easy to wear ourselves out. But if we don't take care of our bodies, we won't be able to do everything we want to do.

Fatigue can impact our mood, energy, and productivity. When we're tired, it's hard to focus, make decisions, or stay positive. This can also lead to a lack of motivation and decreased performance at work or school. And, if we're always tired, our bodies can start to wear down, causing more severe mental health problems later on.

To avoid fatigue, we need to prioritize self-care. This includes exercise, meditation, and getting enough sleep. Exercise boosts energy and reduces stress, while meditation calms the mind and provides peace. Sleep is crucial for recharging our bodies and synthesizing new ideas during REM sleep.

Eating well is also essential. A balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins gives us the energy to tackle the day. Too much caffeine, sugar, or processed foods can drain us instead. So for the love of God get yourself a Nutrabullet!

Setting achievable goals and prioritizing what's important also helps us avoid feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. And managing stress is critical to preventing fatigue. This can be done through activities like yoga, deep breathing, or taking a walk outside.

In short, taking care of our bodies is crucial if we want to be able to do the things we love. Fatigue can have a big impact on our lives, but by prioritizing self-care, eating well, setting goals, and managing stress, we can stay focused and energized.

So, let's commit to taking care of ourselves and living our best lives. Today, I challenge you to take a nap!

Asteroid Mining

The Green Comet is set to wiz by the planet this week. While Hollywood would love to have you concerned about a near-earth impact, these days, it’s the asteroids that should be more worried about us. Asteroid mining startup AstroForge is set to launch its first two missions this year. In April, the company's 6U cubesat Brokkr-1 will launch from SpaceX's Transporter-7 mission into low Earth orbit to test its refinery technologies for extracting metals from asteroid materials. In October, the larger Brokkr-2 spacecraft will fly by a small near-Earth asteroid, collecting data about its composition and surface characteristics for future mining missions. This mission is planned to launch on Intuitive Machines' IM-2 lunar lander mission aboard a Falcon 9. AstroForge has raised over $13 million in seed funding and outsourced much of the mission work to companies like OrbAstro while focusing heavily on developing instruments and refining technology. Now with startup valuations being connected to the rock they want to mine, Perhaps Hollywood is always off the mark after all.

VC Name Calling

Tiger Global is one of the most prolific investors in India and has deployed over $6.5 billion in the South Asian market since its inception. Despite historically low returns, Tiger Global partner Scott Shleifer remains confident that India will produce the highest equity returns globally in the future. The country may be grappling with governance and unit economics challenges. Still, Shleifer believes this risk has "fallen off a cliff" and that India's low return rate historically put it in a better position than other countries to enter downturns. He also highlighted positive changes, such as an increased number of founders instead of promoters, though noted recent issues concerning data misrepresentation from some portfolio companies (e.g., GoMechanic).
