Oct 08 "A man is the sum of his projects" This has been my motto for the past year. it doesn't matter if you're building rockets to go to mars or building model trains in the basement. man is happiest when fully engaged in a project. WHICH PROJECT? picking worthy projects matters, but pursuing them with full force matters more. What's a "worthy" project? Simple answer: Just do the most interesting idea in your head right now. As a kid, this might start with building a giant lego set. Or modding a video game. You can start with goofy sounding projects (my first business was a sushi restaurant) -- Your "taste" in projects will improve as you go. To get 3 michellin stars in "project taste" it needs to pass these 3 tests for me: - it excites me to try - it scares me to try - the product is simply me, pushed out to the world (productizing a part of yourself) My podcast is a good example. I was scared nobody would listen. I was excited to try it. And the podcast itself is literally my personality pushed out via RSS. 5 years later, we've done over 100M+ downloads. The 2nd thing "pursuing the project full force" is much harder. Most of us are tigers in the zoo. We have forgotten how to hunt. How to sprint. We become trained (by school, jobs) that weak action is normal. half-assing projects takes many forms (procrastination, inconsistency, playing it safe, giving up, etc.) it's very hard to break a weak-action habit alone. The fastest solve is to find a group of high-action people and join their projects. Their pace & intensity are very contagious. Humans are pack hunters, and you will learn to run at the pace of the pack. This is why there are so many examples of "mafias" (Paypal mafia), coaching trees (bill walsh), and talent hotspots (dagestan's wrestlers). Some people have wanderlust. They make lists of places to travel. Here's my creative bucket list (projects I want to do before I die): ✅ make a podcast with 1M+ subscribers ✅ launch a restaurant ✅ create a clothing brand 🔳 build a creative/business school i'd send my kids to 🔳 write a killer book 🔳 Make a reality TV show (eg. love is blind, survivor) 🔳 Buy the rights to a book and turn it into a movie 🔳 Make a music album 🔳 Learn to play piano by ear 🔳 Create an event that's like Tony Robbins minus the cringe 960 68 73 73k 2.3k .
Oct 06 Zcash - the case for it: - founder is missionary (like satoshi, Vitalik) - actual use case (money that unlike bitcoin, ETH is actually private/anonymous) - fair token - momentum from community (genzcash) and principled leaders (naval, balaji, Vitalik, etc) 678 37 74 197.9k 264 .

Sep 25 some inside baseball here: Nick bought a majority stake in Somewhere (~$52M price), but there was one problem. The entire exec team was US based. They were good, but very expensive. Huge salary overhang. He went in, re-built the exec team with only overseas talent (listen to them in the video). since then - revenue is at all time highs, and profit margin strong because exec team expenses reduced 80% huge win. 275 10 48 200.4k 423 .

Aug 19 1/ I don’t run 2/ I don’t care about people who run 3/ And yet… I’m fascinated by this guy (Truett Hanes) who runs marathons in jeans.  I love it not because of the running, but because of the marketing. This is a perfect example of what Seth Godin called a Purple Cow.  If you see a cow on the side of the road, it’s forgettable.  But what if you saw a purple cow. WHAT?! You pull over, take pictures, and tell all your friends.  99% of companies are just cows in their marketing. Forgettable. This guy pulled a perfect purple cow. Running a marathon in under 3 hours wearing jeans.  Even though he’s not the fastest runner - he gets more media coverage, sponsorships and attention than everyone else in the race (combined). Find your purple cow. 302 13 62 67.9k 753 .

Jul 03 I used to think jealousy was a bad thing. like a sin. and tried to avoid it. But jealousy is a wedding crasher. it shows up uninvited. Recently, I started using jealousy to my advantage. Jealousy is an incredible signal. it tells me -- at a very primal. no logic level, what my subconscious wants. it's a heat signal for my taste. I don't 'obey' the signal. But I observe it and it helps me now. 520 10 94 50.4k 405 .
