Have you ever whispered the Trader Joe's prayer right before you black out and wake up with eleven bags of cauliflower gnocchi and a succulent you'll kill by Thursday? This store shouldn't work. No app. No loyalty points. A parking lot designed by someone who hates cars. And yet people drive past three normal grocery stores to shop there like it's a pilgrimage.The origin story is unhinged. Joe Coulombe realized he couldn't out-7-Eleven 7-Eleven, so he fled to the Caribbean and wrote a manifesto about a customer who didn't exist yet. He predicted exactly what...

Certainty Is Just Confusion That Quit
You know that feeling when someone finishes explaining something and asks, "Does that make sense?" and you nod like an idiot even though you understood maybe 12% of it?

Why Intentional Quitting is the Key to Success
What if everything we’ve been told about grit, persistence, and “never giving up” is actually… backwards? In this week’s episode of Dumbify, David Carson digs into the taboo idea that quitting might not be weakness. It might be a great strategy.
