In my 23 years, attended my first big Thanksgiving gathering today, 3 takeaways:
1) People who index on prestige can’t understand people who hustle
2) Always take opportunities to talk to the grandparents present, the stories are awesome
3) Big holiday gatherings are awesome

My unsolicited two cents - Shepherd is a more memorable word than somewhere
You use the word somewhere so many times in everyday convo -> you become desensitized to it
Might've made more sense for an AirBnB competitor
No one really says Shepherd -> easier to identify the word
11 year old Kobe Bryant didn’t score one basket in a summer league.
Now he’s considered one of the best players ever.
I’ve spent 100+ hours consuming his interviews, books, and videos.
Here are 11 timeless lessons to be the best in anything.
I’m looking to hire someone to help

and I w/ recording content
The ideal person:

Bonus points if they’re a young hustler
If you know anyone who’d be a good fit lmk!

This is unfathomable in government because there are more barriers to entry than there were back then.
That’s why most ambitious young people have sought to place their time into other things (tech, medicine, etc.)
this is awesome. These guys used AI to create a full search engine of My First Million
you can search for any word or phrase, and it'll pull up the exact moment of the podcast where we talked about that thing
Just dropped a pod with
@sulemanali
He sold TinyCo for $100M+ and then started aggressively building/investing in startups.
We talked about him brute-forcing the sale of his company, life post-exit, and 2am meetings w/ founders at Golden Gate Bridge.

So I put on my manifest cowboy hat and got to work:
Kevin Hart started as a shoe salesman and got booed off stage (many times).
Today, he's one of the biggest entertainment moguls on the planet.
How'd he do it? By having a positive-sum attitude and working his tail off.
Here are some of his reminders to help you do the same:
Had the best Uber ride this morning
Guy picks me up, and goes "WELCOME ABOARD PRANEET!", already knew the vibes would be immaculate
10 minutes go by and I learn I'm being driven by a pro poker player
Rest of the ride turns into a masterclass in how to have a winning mindset
Can’t find the tweet but
@0xSamHogan
made this point some weeks ago:
In a world where the acquisition of highly technical knowledge/skills is increasingly being commoditized, charisma and ability to learn fast will attribute more to a persons success.
I think about this often
Yesterday I saw something that’s been on my mind.
It was raining, a restaurant owner closed all the table umbrellas except for the one near his restaurant
When it stopped raining his restaurant tables would be the only dry ones to sit at. 200 IQ move
With LLM tools getting better at such a rapid pace, what happens to applications involving essays:

A reminder assistant that can’t remember things is no good!
That’s why this past week Charlie was hard at work working on their memory.
Now you can talk to Charlie more naturally and ask for updates/cancellations for reminders.

The Law of Reciprocation (LOR) is a powerful psychological force.
The premise is simple - I do something for you, so you do something for me.

We looked into how we actually categorize words by levels and determining their difficulty levels.
Added the first couple of words for the first three levels, and will be adding more words per level soon!

Why isn't there a podcast with convos from Uber rides?
I always seem to walk away from a ride hearing something interesting:
- learning about a culture different from mine
- stories from other rides
- being taught lessons about niche things
Seems like it'd make for a great
Charlie's been hard at work trying to become better at sending reminders.

- add reminders to your Google Calendar
- followup on reminders by request
- handle recurring tasks

Not just in awe of what they might be capable of building. But also by their imagination, hustle, kindness, willingness to help, etc.
And I’m very grateful to have that be the case
@etarczynski
working this hard only makes sense if the effort is being put into the right direction
not taking the time to figure out that direction prior to the hard work can lead to wasting your 20’s
After 6 months of recovery and physical therapy, I’m finally back to biking

I have slumps. And some times they're really bad.
Like doing something productive seems worse than doing crack cocaine kind of bad.
But when it gets that bad I don't do crack cocaine.
Instead I watch Ratatouille
Kevin Hart's an amazing inspiration with how he rose from the streets of Philly to becoming a:
• New York Times Bestseller
• Award-winning actor
• Sold-out stadium comedian

Here are some of his reminders to help you do the same:
Whenever I ride public transportation I see a common scene.
Everyone hunched over, their necks bent down, faces sucked into a phone screen.
And it almost feels uncomfortable if I'm not on my phone or doing something.
Seen a lot of AI podcasts focused on research, very few that focus on building and product
