## Resource

I start this episode talking about the escalating conflict with Iran and the potential fallout. Wars often ripple through geopolitics, markets, and everyday life. We'll discuss all that. And how war is the sort of thing that forces you to reckon with how quickly the world can change. Then I reflect on the passing of legendary football coach Lou Holtz. He died on March 4, 2026, at the age of 89. I talk about his leadership philosophy and some of the lessons from his book Wins, Losses, and Lessons —especially his emphasis on discipline, character, and perseverance both on and off the field. As always, I start with the funniest memes & things I saw online last week. Also, hunting humans for sport, a new Netflix series we watched last week, potential investments as the war in Iran continues, and a brief look at Iran’s history.
