 | The Summit Brief Finance & Business · Today's edge in wealth & strategy. | BYD Surpasses Tesla to Become the World's Largest EV Seller China's BYD has overtaken Tesla as the world's biggest seller of electric vehicles, marking a major shift in the global EV race. BYD's rapid rise has been fueled by aggressive pricing, a broad lineup of battery-powered and plug-in hybrid vehicles, and strong demand in China and emerging markets. The milestone highlights growing pressure on Tesla as competition intensifies and global EV growth becomes increasingly price-sensitive. The Breakdown: - New global leader: BYD edges past Tesla in total EV sales volume
- Cost advantage: Vertical integration and battery manufacturing help BYD undercut rivals
- Competitive squeeze: Tesla faces rising pressure in China, Europe, and price-conscious markets
The Angle: The EV crown is no longer about brand alone—it's about scale, cost, and execution. BYD's ascent signals a new phase where affordability and manufacturing muscle may matter more than first-mover prestige. Read More | | |

 | Peak Condition Health & Fitness · Your performance edge. | Understanding Your Chronotype: Are You a Lion, Bear, Wolf, or Dolphin? Your chronotype determines your natural sleep-wake rhythm—and aligning your habits to it can massively improve energy, productivity, and workout performance. "Lions" thrive early in the morning with early fatigue; "Bears" follow the solar cycle; "Wolves" excel later in the day; and "Dolphins" are light sleepers who perform best once fully alert. Identify your chronotype, then structure your day accordingly: Lions should train early, Bears mid-day, Wolves late afternoon or evening, and Dolphins when mentally sharp. Adjust meal timing, caffeine intake, and sleep schedules to match your biological rhythm. Living in sync with your chronotype reduces stress and enhances performance. Read More | | |
 | The Climb Vertical moves for your mind & career | The Truth About Passive Income (It's Not Actually Passive) Passive income is one of the most misleading concepts in personal finance. While online gurus sell the idea of "money while you sleep," the reality is that every passive income stream requires upfront effort—sometimes years of it. Research shows that most so-called passive income sources—content creation, investing, real estate, digital products—require ongoing maintenance and updates. The smarter framing is "leveraged income"—work that scales without proportional time. Build assets: online courses, books, templates, or investments that continue generating revenue with minimal upkeep. The goal isn't zero work; it's asymmetric return. Focus on building systems today that future-you will thank you for. Read More | | |

 | Uncharted Terrain Travel & Exploration · Beyond your current elevation. | DAY 7 - TAKE ME THERE: Planning Your Trip When to go: June-September for hiking and wildlife; December-March for skiing at three world-class resorts. Avoid July-August unless you love crowds. Getting there: Fly into Calgary International Airport (YYC), then drive 90 minutes west on the stunning Trans-Canada Highway. Rent a car—it's essential. Park pass required: $10.50 CAD daily or $72.25 annual. Pro tips: Download offline maps—cell service is spotty. Book accommodations 6+ months ahead for summer. Carry bear spray on trails (rent it in town). Budget $150-200 CAD daily for mid-range travel. The park is open year-round, and each season offers completely different experiences. Winter is underrated—fewer crowds, lower prices, and magical snow-covered landscapes. That's your edge for today. Now go claim it. Read More | | |
