MJ Mondays – No. 153
The GOAT of Pro Basketball Winning brings attention. A continued course of winning will bring an expectation of more winning. That is what you call “success”.
Michael Jordan continually did that on the court through his 15-year NBA career, in college at UNC, in the Olympics, and off the court with Nike and Air Jordan.
Winning breeds winning. Start winning today.

2000s Nostalgia
Why does it feel like everyone is suddenly obsessed with the 2000s?
From velour tracksuits to flip phones, the early 2000s are everywhere again. Social feeds are filled with throwbacks, and brands are reviving the era’s aesthetic. But why is this wave of nostalgia so strong now, when the 2000s didn’t seem nearly as fixated on the 1970s?
Part of the answer is how we experienced each era. The 2000s were the first decade documented in real time by everyday people. Platforms like MySpace and digital cameras allowed people to capture their lives as they happened. Today, revisiting that time feels direct and personal. In contrast, nostalgia for the 1970s depended more on secondhand media like films and music.
There is also the pace of modern life. Culture moves faster now, and people feel it. The 2000s sit just before the explosion of constant connectivity, which makes them feel simpler by comparison. Even small things, like burning a CD or waiting to hear a favorite song on the radio, required patience and intention.
Generational timing plays a role too. The people shaping culture today grew up in the 2000s, and nostalgia tends to follow a 15 to 25 year cycle. In the 2000s, attention leaned more toward the 80s and 90s for the same reason.
But this resurgence goes deeper than style. The early 2000s represent a balance between connection and disconnection that feels rare today. People logged off. Experiences were shared, not constantly curated.
Nostalgia is not just about looking back. It often reveals what people feel is missing in the present.

Built Simple. Tastes Expensive: Homemade Smash Burgers Done Right
There’s something powerful about keeping it simple—and executing it perfectly. That’s exactly what a smash burger is.
Final Product Start with 80/20 ground beef. Roll it into loose balls—don’t overwork it. Heat a pan until it’s almost smoking, drop the beef in, and smash it hard. That first press is everything. Let it cook untouched for 2–3 minutes until a deep, crispy crust forms. Flip, add cheese, and cook for another 30–60 seconds.
While that sizzles, mix your sauce: mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, finely chopped pickles, a splash of pickle juice, a pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper. It should taste tangy, slightly sweet, and sharp.
Toast your buns in the same pan—don’t skip this step.
Now build: sauce, double patties with melted cheese, grilled onions, pickles, more sauce. That’s it.
No overthinking. No unnecessary extras.
Just a burger that hits every note—crispy, juicy, tangy, and rich.
Built simple. Tastes expensive.
