Save 200 Hours ⏳ + Hack a Luxury Pool Day 🏊☀️


Hey there,

I appreciated everyone who attended our Venice Haps Happy Hour on Friday.

I finally tackled something stealing my time—endless check-ins with my marketing team; one-off requests kept piling up. Instead of drowning in emails, I set up a weekly review system where my Assistant filters everything before it hits my desk. That 2-hour fix is set to save me 200+ hours this year, giving me more time for essential things… like debating guac and queso (answer: yes).

Speaking of better ways to spend time, ResortPass ☀️🏊 is a game-changer—you can book a luxury pool day without staying overnight. Last weekend, I lounged at the Viceroy Santa Monica, laptop open, pretending it was a work meeting. I highly recommend it.

Looking for something fun? 🎟️ The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival kicks off Feb 28—because festival calories don’t count. 🎨 The Bong Joon Ho exhibit at the Academy Museum is a must for Parasite fans. ⚽ And CONCACAF Nations League Finals bring international soccer to SoFi next month.

Food-wise, Chifa in Eagle Rock blew me away—Peruvian-Chinese comfort food at its best. 🦆 The roast duck? Unreal. I also tried Cobi’s in Santa Monica—casual, cozy, and packed with bold Southeast Asian flavors. Their lamb curry? 10/10.

What’s on your list this week? Let’s catch up soon.

Cheers,

Michael ❤️ Los Angeles

Hello, Share Haps with a friend! I've been listening to 📖 Get Rich by Dennis Felix; it's a fun listen from a very wild, highly successful British entrepreneur. He doesn't mince words; it's a complex process, and most people fail. But it's fun and has lots of humor. One idea that I've been thinking about is that business is a game; play hard, but don't get too caught up in it. 🏡 LA Real Estate Trend: Spring is approaching, and we're seeing more listings hit the market as interest rates remain...
