In "Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind" by Andy Dunn, an entrepreneur graduated from Northwestern University and build bonobos.com, the author discusses bipolar disorder, which is a mental illness that causes extreme mood swings.

These mood swings can result in emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). While hypomania can drive creativity, productivity, confidence, optimism, and vision, the swing between high and low can lead to a harmful jet-setting lifestyle.

​Dunn shares his personal experience and emphasizes that mental illness should not prevent one from achieving success. Overcoming barriers requires courage and the support of family and friends.

Business content goes beyond professionalism. The formality of the content needs to be short, clear, friendly, and accessible. 

• Short and clear means the content needs to be straight to the point and concise because people have short attention.
• Friendly means maintaining a tone like a normal conversation that creates a positive and light-hearted vibe. 
• Accessibility means balancing attention-grabbing and professionalism by keeping the content engaging, starting with the critical objectives, explaining why the content matters, and driving motions with a specific call to action (CAT). ​
