I have been telling you for years that the rich CEO who likes to surf, was setting up a way to pay his employees with credits instead of actual dollars.

They are testing the system with employees in four different countries.

It is his way of getting employees locked in for life who would be unable to ever change employers without a severe financial hit.

Mark Zuckerberg says he tries to surf every day to help take his mind off getting ‘punched’ by the news

Mark Zuckerberg has developed a coping mechanism for dealing with the daily onslaught of news these days: surfing.

The Meta CEO described his morning routine in a recent interview on The Tim Ferriss Show. Ferriss, an author and podcaster, asked Zuckerberg how he’s trained himself to be “more comfortable with discomfort” after 18 years running Facebook’s parent company.

Zuckerberg said he wakes up each morning to emails about what’s happening internally at Meta, along with the news of the day — all of which often includes “a fair amount of bad news and new things that I need to absorb,” he said.

If he goes straight into his day after that, “it’s almost like getting punched with a ton of new context,” Zuckerberg said.

To avoid that feeling, he’s started surfing or foiling — riding a hydrofoil board, which lifts you above the surface of the water — to take his mind off things for an hour or so.

“When you’re out there in the water, it’s pretty hard to focus on anything else,” Zuckerberg said. “When you’re on the board, you’re focused on making sure you stay on the board and don’t mess something up.” – Source
