Most valuable course/class to watch inside 3X Freedom with @Kasim Aslam that you'd recommend?

Kassim asked "What do I have?" I have courage. By the time I was 9 I was suicidal, by 13 I was pulled out of school, and by 16 I was in the police station getting interrogated with my mom in tears watching it all happen. I was so lost. I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I didn't know that I needed to feel the pain of the world, so that I could have compassion for others. I needed to feel how lost we are in modern society, so I could help create solutions. After 12 years as a target inside the public education system, I didn't trust my teachers when they told me 4 more years of college for $80,000 would prepare me to thrive. So I placed a bet on myself, saved money, and seized the reigns of life. The day I graduated high school, I bought a one-way ticket to India. It was a rite of passage, marking the end of my childhood, and the beginning of manhood. I was ready to kill the old identity of who I had become and how I was perceived in my hometown. I was ready to become someone new. So I became a student to life. I learned from cultures around the world, sat in 10 days of silent meditation, solo climbed to views of Mount Everest, bought a motorcycle and rode it 1500 miles from northern Vietnam to southern Cambodia. I got to know strangers, friends, dangers, and mentors from China to New Zealand, Nicaragua to Bolivia, and California to New Hampshire. I found myself sitting up all night in native american ceremonies and learning to sing and pray. I found myself fasting for 4 days and 4 nights in the desert, and becoming a part of a nonprofit that helps men become better leaders for their families and communities. Eventually, I found myself living in the Caribbean. First in St Thomas, now Puerto Rico where I'm putting roots down. But there's a key that I haven't told you. I unlocked many doors because I had a camera in my hand, and I knew how to use it. One skill led to my first LLC, Wayfinders Media, that is now a full-service brand development and marketing team with a strong reputation.

Hey everyone — I’m David. I’m a product builder, systems thinker, and founder of Open for Product, where I’m experimenting with ways to make work adapt to people instead of continually asking people to adapt to work. What I HAVE I’m very good at seeing connections between things that are usually treated separately — product, community, technology, incentives, human behavior — and turning those connections into things people can actually participate in. My current experiment is Open Book, a collective writing experience built inside Open for Product. Instead of gathering around a finished book as an audience, people gather around an unfinished one and help shape what gets written. Part workshop, part community experiment, part publishing model. I’ve spent years in product and software, so I can usually figure out how to build the thing. What I WANT I want to turn Open Book into a small, real, repeatable business first — events, submissions, publication, community — and use what I learn from it to inform the larger Open for Product platform. Longer term, I’m interested in building businesses where participation itself creates value: customers contribute, audiences collaborate, and people who don't fit neatly into conventional spaces find meaningful ways to work and play. And: I’d like all of that to produce considerably more freedom than designing interesting things while wondering how I'm going to monetize them. 😄 What I NEED Focus, distribution, and commercial reps. My brain is extremely good at seeing what version 5 could become. So my current challenge is deliberately smaller: find the signal, get people in the room and see what's useful. I joined 3X Freedom because I want to spend more time around people who are good at that part of the game. I hope that seeing the messy parts of trying will be helpful to others because I have a sense that's what I'll be able to give. Follow along if you want a wild ride, I guess! 🚀

Executive function gets mentioned constantly in neurodivergent spaces and almost never explained clearly. You hear it attached to ADHD. You hear it mentioned as the reason for procrastination, disorganization, and missed deadlines. You hear coaches reference it as something to “work on” — as though it’s a muscle you can train if you just try hard enough. Most of that is vague enough to be unhelpful. Executive function is an umbrella term for a set of cognitive processes managed primarily by the prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain responsible for planning, decision-making, and regulating behavior toward goals. Think of it as the brain’s management system. It’s the part that coordinates resources toward a specific purpose. The part that says “we need to accomplish X — here’s the sequence, here are the resources, here’s how we stay on track.” The main components: - task initiation (the ability to actually start, especially when a task isn’t immediately rewarding — this is not laziness, it’s a specific cognitive function) - working memory (holding information in mind while using it) - cognitive flexibility (shifting between tasks when circumstances change) - inhibitory control (pausing a response, resisting impulse, filtering distraction) - planning and organization - emotional regulation Here’s what most explanations miss: executive function is highly context-dependent. Someone can have excellent function in high-interest, high-stakes situations and severely compromised function in low-interest, low-urgency ones. “But you managed to plan that entire event perfectly” is not evidence that executive function is fine. It’s evidence that high stakes and high interest activate different neurological resources. Employment, for many people with executive function differences, provided significant external scaffolding — a schedule imposed from outside, priorities set by a manager, social accountability, a physical location associated with work mode.

Coming into this post there is a million things I want to express to be able to fully share through this digital screen the full emotion and thought process behind me that drives this ship but there is a blueprint right now that I am able to follow so I’ll start with this first as it is thee haves wants and needs What I currently have is the need to want more for the collective human being, I love every category of every thing that is possible and I constantly want to compound, our “days” bring us closer to every goal we strive to achieve and what I want is to do it for all, how I plan to go about this is first of course build capital, for plans it is needed because that’s how this runs, a bit , I strive to build buisness across various fields, but what is required is capital to start off which is what I’m working on, right now my family is calling so I’m Gonna have to cut this short but basically money is just another thing it’s something where when these different streams of income come in is just going to be reinvested, it’s a tool , to build , I’m aiming for this tool to help build our world , there’s a lot of builders , there’s a lot of demolitionist, there’s a lot to be done , I can’t wait to build with yall , see you later
