A little motivating tactic to keep on pushing harder and harder to achieve my goals that I outline is to take a look at who else was born the same year as you who's had massive success in their career. I try not to focus on athletes as there is a genetic factor at play but rather other entrepreneurs and business people that I can compare what they've done and what I've done. Let that be the measuring stick till you catch up and pass your peers.
My 1985 Motivators to push harder:
Sam Altman, Brian Chesky, Evan Spiegel, and Whitney Wolfe Herd.
If you have a year without enough motivators than you can go +- 1 year. In that case I would be up against Mark Zuckerberg, Ben Silberman of Pinterest, and David Karp founder of Tumblr.

Income and wealth inequality in America have long been subjects of intense debate and scrutiny. The statistics reveal a stark contrast between different segments of the population which are absolutely contrary to what you hear the pundits say.
The top 10% of Americans hold 48% of the nation's income, 71% of its wealth, and pay 76% of the taxes. In contrast, the bottom 50% have only 10% of the income, 1.5% of the wealth, and often receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes. This disparity has significant implications for societal discontent and the pervasive sense of anger and division among citizens.
To understand the roots of societal discontent, it is crucial to delve into the dichotomies of wealth distribution. The top 10% of Americans are significantly wealthier and bear a substantial portion of the tax burden. This group often includes high-income professionals, business owners, and investors who benefit from capital gains and other sources of wealth that are not as accessible to the average person. Their financial security allows for greater investments in education, healthcare, and other quality-of-life improvements, perpetuating their economic advantage.
Conversely, the bottom 50% of the population, who control a mere 1.5% of the nation's wealth, face a different reality. This group often struggles with job insecurity, lower wages, and limited access to essential services. The wealth gap is not merely a reflection of income differences but also of accumulated assets and opportunities. This inequality can lead to feelings of hopelessness and frustration, as upward mobility seems increasingly out of reach if you ever read the comments on Reddit or Twitter and listen to people attack the Elon Musks of the world for being successful.
Taxation is another critical aspect of this discussion. The wealthiest Americans pay a substantial portion of the taxes, which raises questions about the fairness and effectiveness of the tax system. Critics argue that the wealthy can leverage tax loopholes and benefits to minimize their tax burden, thus not contributing their fair share relative to their wealth. On the other hand, supporters of the current system point out that the wealthy already pay a disproportionately high percentage of taxes, suggesting that they are indeed contributing significantly to the nation's revenue.
For the bottom 50%, the tax system often provides more benefits than it extracts. Many in this group qualify for tax credits, subsidies, and other forms of government assistance designed to alleviate poverty and provide basic needs. While these benefits are essential for survival, they can also perpetuate dependency and a sense of disenfranchisement, as individuals feel they are not progressing economically despite the aid they receive.
The emotional and social impact of these economic disparities cannot be overstated. The perceived inequality and unfairness fuel discontent and anger, contributing to societal divisions. Those in the lower economic brackets may feel resentment towards the wealthy, whom they perceive as having an unfair advantage and living in a different reality. This resentment is exacerbated by visible displays of wealth and success, often highlighted in media and popular culture.
On the flip side, the wealthy may feel unjustly targeted and misunderstood. They might believe that their hard work and success are being unfairly criticized, leading to a defensive posture and further entrenchment of social divides. The lack of empathy and understanding between different economic groups fosters a cycle of blame and mistrust, hindering constructive dialogue and potential solutions.
Addressing these dichotomies requires a multifaceted approach. Policy changes aimed at reducing income and wealth inequality, such as progressive taxation, increased access to education, and social safety nets, are essential. Additionally, fostering a culture of empathy and understanding can help bridge the divide between different economic groups. Encouraging dialogue and collaboration, rather than conflict and blame, can pave the way for a more equitable and harmonious society.
In conclusion, the discontent and anger prevalent in society are rooted in the stark economic dichotomies between the top 10% and the bottom 50% of Americans. Addressing these issues requires both policy interventions and a shift in societal attitudes towards empathy and cooperation. By working towards a more balanced and inclusive economy, society can begin to heal the divisions and move forward together.

Whether its shooting for success in the business world or personal satisfaction it's important to set big goals that you plan to match and exceed. In life ya got to be a bit of a dreamer .
You should have the greatest satisfaction not from a single story, day, or single event, but rather that you went for it and took the chance. The road you venture down doesn't matter if you don't know exactly where you're going and none of us truly do.

Living in Florida feels healthier if not for the cleaner air but the ability to spend more time outside. Bryan Johnson has come forward with bringing even more notoriety and education to the lifespan movement. Dr. David Sinclair has also been instrumental with his book "Lifespan" his tweets and podcasts have also brought his Harvard research to the masses. So with the help and education from Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida on the importance of letting food be thy medicine.
Below is a version of my lifestyle choices that I believe are a lot more achievable and doable that should help prolong your life and reverse aging:
Daily Habits:
2 Ounces of Wheatrgrass Freshly Juiced Twice a day
2 Scoops of Sea Moss mixed in with vegan yogurt or taken straight up
Snacking on Dulse Seaweed and Mixed Nuts
1 whole Kiwifruit
2-3 Scoops of Raw Living Spirulina mixed in with Yogurt, Coconut Water, or Granola with Soy/Almond Milk
Vitamins
1 Gram of Resveratol Powder from Renue by Science
1 Gram a day of NMN Powder from Renue by Science
500-1000 grams of Metformin taken after dinner as it stimulates fasting and glucose levels
500-1000 grams of Quercetin
1 Gram a day of Spermidine
3 Sprays of of Fisetin Liposomal from Renue by Science
1000 Milligrams of TMG from Renue by Science
Garlic Supplements
Turmeric
Weekly Habits at Your Own Pace
Okinawa Purple Potato either baked, steamed, or made into mashed format where I add Seaweed Sea Salt and Wasabi
Fermented Foods
Hot Tea
Hot Yoga
Infrared Sauna
Steam
Cold Plunge for at least 2 minutes
Cold Press Juices
Jinfiniti NAD mixed with Water
Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with water
Yearly Habits
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at 100% pure oxygen for 90 minutes at a time for 5-10 sessions in a row M-F
Prenuvo Whole Body Scan
Epigenitic Test
While not perfect I try to stick to a general level like this when I am in Florida. When traveling it can be a bit tougher to keep all of these habits.

Other items I'm interested in learning more about:

Culture is great not just for business but for learning the ways of the world. Thats why there is such an important emphasis to diversify your travels. Traveling around the world to new countries, cities, provinces/states, and continents that you only hear about in books or the internet growing up. When you do so you have the opportunity to learn about how other societies operate.
When you experience a new city it's enlightening to meet people of different cultures, try their food, view their buildings and architecture, see the spirit of the people and this helps to change your perspective from potential subconscious biases you may have had previously. When you return and meet somebody from that culture or place you've visited you now have something to talk about and the ability to relate. Outside of reading books this is a great way to build knowledge, understandings of others, and traveling and eating are a great way to live life to the fullest.
So if you follow my ZeeMap or Mapster showcasing all the places "Richart Ruddie" has been to know that there are so many more and yet so little time to make it to them all but if there's a will there is a way.

AI is going to change the way we make graphic designs for blog posts, create art, nfts, create royalty free music and sound clips. There's so many positive benefits being created with the future of DALLE-2 and the AI revolution thats on the horizon. Here are a couple of cool references to check out and use:
https://app.inferkit.com/demo - This lets you put in subject matter and see how the machine writes a story around it.
Google CoLAb - This is the place to get started for Machine Learning and has a monthly fee.
Robert Bruce Carter covered an AI Jukebox where the Github list of 4,111 artists are compiled and used to make sound clips and music. You can see his story about it here.
For image creation on the fly you can register with OpenAI this is a game changer that is going to destroy the royalty image business overnight. Think about how the iPhone destroyed MP3 players. Who is going to want stock images of a team at work for a fee when they can generate it via AI in seconds and ensure it's unique and is not going to be recreated?
For fun I put in Richart Ruddie to see what images would be created in the OpenAI image generator and here is what it created:
As you can see I don't look like either men on the left or right and I don't have a sculpture or statue in a square but maybe it was focusing on Rich and Art? That could be the reasoning for the ship sailing. To determine if a photo is created via OpenAI look for the colors of the rainbow in the bottom right corner.
Since I'm an art collector and fan I typed in Picasso Painting on the Beach. The initial photos had an easel on the sand. A clear operator error that was adjusted to "a picasso painting of the beach" and this is what it generated:

Practice Effective altruism. The EA life contributes and is a sustainable mentality to help whether through your powers or by earning and giving back. Those who practice Effective altruism create an ecosystem for a better tomorrow.
If you've ever gone through twitter and read the latest comments on any political person, entrepreneur, celebrity or famous persons tweets you will be shocked about the intelligence or lack there of. It's a scary thing to see and I contemplated starting the Richart D Ruddie words of wisdom podcast. The premise of the show would be trolling through tweets on twitter and comments on Instagram and seeing what outlandish commentary people are saying on the internet.
The comments that I've seen are a combination of scary and people really need to educate themselves more on logic and ethics. As a friend who is a state prosecutor said that he's all but lot hope for humanity dealing with the criminals and the system. The people who come through the system have no hope of rehabilitation or of being educated to think differently and are a big issue we deal with as a society. While I hope he's incorrect it's interesting in hearing his opinion after working in the court system all this time and comparing that to the comments that I see on social media on posts and the issues that we as a society will have to deal with in the future.
-Richart D. Ruddie Potential Podcast Signing Off
Some of my latest tweets are some advice to follow:
Sustainability contributes to resilience. Whether it's in farming or in values be sustainable.
Before you work harder, work on the right thing. Play better games. Win better prizes.

The official Richart Ruddie Twitter account can be found here: https://twitter.com/RichartRuddie
While I try to keep a low profile there were some impersonation profiles that I've had deleted and removed from the internet. I've grown found of using Twitter for real time updates on issues and seeing what some of the smartest people that I follow have to say on different topics. Of course on Twitter everybody is greatly opinionated but thats what the internet thrives on.
I've started to spend more time updating on twitter but find my official Richart Ruddie Blog here at Typepad more conducive for taking notes and coming back here for updates when I want to find a note that I blogged about as opposed to searching through my old tweets vs. blog posts that I can rapidly google.
Here's a random photo from a few years ago of DJ Jamie Jones and myself in California.
