🦬 The Simplex Theorem
The story goes that in the early 1940’s, George Bernard Dantzig was running late for his graduate-level statistics class. When he showed up, he noticed that there were two technical-stats questions on the blackboard.
“Must be homework,” he thought.
He struggled through the questions for the rest of the week but eventually figured them out and turned in his answers next class.
A few weeks went by…
Eventually, the professor approached Dantzig…
“George, that wasn’t homework. Those were examples of unsolvable problems that even Einstein couldn’t solve, and you solved them!”
Those problems became the basis of the Simplex Theorem, also known as the foundation of a little something called “computer science.”
You don’t know what you don’t know, and sometimes that’s a good thing.
Sometimes, realism is a good thing; it keeps us tethered to the real world. But sometimes the best thing we can do is just put the blinders on and charge forward.
Past, present, and future… maybe it’s time you release those expectations you have for yourself and just work your a** off like never before!
What is an “unsolvable problem” anyway…?
Why You Should Care…
I’m going to get vulnerable with you here for a second…
About a year ago, I was going to start a podcast! I really wanted to - for me - not for anybody else! I just knew that I wanted to have REAL conversations with REAL men about what they’re REALLY doing to become the best versions of themselves.
And then… my friend sent me this post.
Hilarious, right?
Yeah, but it also planted the dumbest, most insignificant seed in my head… “They’re right. The world doesn’t need another podcast, especially not from me.”
And so I put it off… until now!
I’m tired of living half-a**.
I’m tired of living outside of my passion.
I’m tired of living with the blinders on, letting the metaphorical professor tell me what is and isn’t an “unsolvable problem.”
So now… every week, I’m going to be releasing an episode of the You Da Man Show - the podcast and youtube show dedicated to men helping each other become “da man” in their own lives; men of influence, action, and the highest character!
Some weeks I’ll have a guest. Most weeks I won’t. But I’m just going to share absolutely as much value as I possibly can that I think will help YOU become “da man”!
(…and I’m going to put the blinders on in the process.)
I’m going out on a limb here, so I would LOVE your support!
If you’re at all interested in this stuff, please do me one favor…
As always, thank you for letting me speak into your life, and thank you for supporting me along the way!
Until next time… YOU DA MAN!
