She woke up in a pool of blood — and it changed how she defined success.

In 2007, Arianna Huffington collapsed from exhaustion, broke her cheekbone on her desk, and had to ask: is this what winning looks like?

She'd built one of the most influential media companies in the world. By every outside measure, she'd made it. But her body was telling a different story.

That collapse became Thrive Global — built on the idea that well-being and performance aren't opposites.

Here's what I tell the $1M+ owners I coach: burnout isn't the price of success. It's a sign your definition of success is incomplete.

Productivity. Profits. Joy. You don't have to pick two.

What's one thing you'd change if joy were a KPI in your business?

Q? How do you know when your company is mega successful?
A! When you have a settlement on a legal and regulatory matter exceeding billions, and it still doesn't bankrupt your co!

Meta's $17 billion child safety settlement — Meta agreed to a landmark settlement with a coalition of U.S. states over allegations tied to teen social media addiction on Instagram and Facebook, ending the closely watched trial and committing the company to sweeping safety changes on both platforms.

This is such a fascinating case. How much parental responsibility belongs here too? How will they "compensate the victims"? What will they do to reduce the addict-ability here? And how does this affect other countries?

My senior citizen, horses enjoying a little foot spa in the hot August days. Our pasture is being groomed so we can plant grass seed in the spring last year. We made a huge effort to eradicate all the tumbleweed that is also called Russian Thistle, not to be confused with the beautiful Russian sage.
