STEVE JOBS GOT FIRED FROM APPLE.

Then he walked straight into MIT and dropped the most raw, unfiltered 60-minute business masterclass ever recorded.

Zero PR bullshit. Zero image to protect.

Just pure, brutal honesty from the man who built Apple once and was about to rebuild it even bigger. Stop scrolling.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI:

"To build with AI, you don't need a huge team. You need a good idea."
In a 52-minute keynote, he describes how building stopped requiring a company behind you.

For the first time, one person with a setup can produce what used to take a floor of staff.

That's the shift making the first people rich alone, without a single hire.

Watch the keynote, then see the one thing they learned in the article below.

[Lewis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WaldronLewis]

Elon Musk literally sat down for a 45-minute talk with Y Combinator that explains how to build world-changing companies better than any business school on earth. This is the advice he gave a room full of young founders:

1. Don't try to build something great. Try to build something useful.

Everyone obsesses over greatness. Musk says that's the wrong target. "I didn't originally think I would build something great. I wanted to try to build something useful. I didn't think I would build anything particularly great. Seemed unlikely, but I wanted to at least try." Aim for useful first. Greatness, if it comes, is a byproduct.

2. When you can't get in the front door, build your own door.

Before Musk started his first company, he tried to get a job at Netscape. "I sent my resume into Netscape and nobody responded. I tried hanging out in the lobby to see if I could bump into someone, but I was too shy to talk to anyone. So I'm like, this is ridiculous, I'll just write software myself." He didn't set out to be a founder. He became one because no one would hire him.

3. He slept in the office and showered at the YMCA.

The origin of his first company was not glamorous. "We couldn't even afford a place to stay. The office was 500 bucks a month, so we just slept in the office and showered at the YMCA." He couldn't afford proper internet either, so he drilled a hole through the office floor and ran a cable to the internet provider downstairs. That was the founder of the future richest man on earth.

4. Keep the chips on the table.

When Musk sold his first company, he received a $20 million cheque. His bank balance went from $10,000 to $20 million overnight. Most people would have stopped. He put almost all of it straight back into his next company. "I kept the chips on the table." He did the same thing decades later, over and over. He hates money sitting idle. Money is fuel for the next mission.

5. Start with the mission, then work backwards to make it a business.

Musk didn't start SpaceX to make money. He went on the NASA website to find out when humans were going to Mars, and there was no plan. So he decided to build one. "There had been no prior example of a rocket startup succeeding. A small chance of success is better than no chance of success." The mission came first. The business model came later.

6. He started SpaceX expecting to fail.

He is brutally honest about the odds. "SpaceX started in mid-2002 expecting to fail. Probably 90% chance of failing. When recruiting people, I said, we're probably going to die, but small chance we might not die." The first three launches failed. The fourth one worked with no money left. "If the fourth launch hadn't worked, it would have been curtains. We made it by the skin of our teeth."

7. Break every problem down to physics.

This is the core of how Musk thinks. "First principles means break things down to the fundamental elements that are most likely to be true, then reason up from there, as opposed to reasoning by analogy." His example is rockets. Everyone priced them based on what old rockets cost. Musk asked what a rocket is actually made of, priced the raw metals, and found the materials were only 1-2% of the historical price. The rest was inefficiency he could attack.

8. When told something takes 24 months, break it down and do it in six.

Last year xAI needed a giant computer to train its AI. Suppliers said it would take 18 to 24 months. "It's like, well, we need to get that done in six months or we won't be competitive." So he broke it into parts. Needed a building, so he found an old factory. Needed power, so he rented generators. Needed cooling, so he rented a quarter of America's mobile cooling capacity. He slept in the data centre and ran cabling himself. It got done.

9. Watch your ego-to-ability ratio.

Musk's single sharpest piece of advice for young founders is about staying honest with yourself. "A major failure mode is when your ego-to-ability ratio gets too high. Then you break the feedback loop to reality." Keep the ego small, internalise responsibility for everything, and stay ruthlessly connected to what's actually true. "You want to close the loop on reality hard. That's a super big deal."

10. Chase work, not glory.

His closing philosophy ties it all together. "It's so hard to be useful. The area under the curve of total utility is how useful you've been to your fellow human beings times how many people. If you aspire to do true work, your probability of success is much higher. Don't aspire to glory, aspire to work."

He was ridiculed for years. The press called him "internet guy attempting to build a rocket company." He agreed it sounded absurd. He did it anyway, because a small chance of doing something useful beat no chance at all.

Here's the thing though....

Musk became the most followed founder alive because everything he does happens in public. The launches, the failures, the talks like this one. The companies made him powerful. The personal brand made his every word travel around the world before he finishes saying it.

We build massive distribution and grow personal brands on X and beyond without our clients lifting a finger.

@MissJJabari Say no more

[Yasmine Khosrowshahi @yasminekho]

Jordan Peterson explained how to use reading and writing to find your life's purpose:

1. Reading is how you gather raw material before you can write clearly. Once you have a problem you want to solve, read everything you can get your hands on that addresses it. You cannot organize thoughts you have never been exposed to.

2. Writing is described as a weapon, literally. Your sword. Your bulletproof vest. Learning to use words properly makes you nearly impossible to stop in any negotiation or argument.

3. People who are staggeringly successful are almost always unbelievably articulate. You do not want to argue with them because they will organize their points so clearly that anyone unprepared looks like an idiot.

4. Your words are the single most powerful thing about you. If you can write and speak effectively, you carry all the authority and competence there is.

5. Peterson rewrote every sentence in his first book Maps of Meaning roughly fifty times. He read it, rewrote it, compared versions, and kept the better one. That obsession over fourteen years built the foundation for everything he taught afterward.

6. Fiction is not a lesser form of truth. It is often a deeper one. Stories distill what people actually go through, stripping away the boring parts and leaving only what matters.

7. You do not need to understand exactly why a story moves you. You do not know what music means either, and that has never stopped you from listening to it. Profound things mean more than you can fully articulate.

8. People who lose the external structure in their life, a job, a schedule, a responsibility, tend to drift, get anxious, and lose direction. We are built like sled dogs. We need a load to pull.

9. Pain is the one reality nobody argues with. Everyone who suffers acts as though their suffering is real. That single observation is the starting point for thinking seriously about meaning.

10. Human beings are the only creatures who have discovered the future, which is both our greatest advantage and our deepest burden. Knowing the future is finite changes everything about how we experience the present.

11. The self-authoring program Peterson built has three parts: write your past to understand who you actually are, write your present to identify your real faults and virtues, and write your future to clarify exactly what you want in the next three to five years.

12. You cannot hit a target you refuse to name. Most people keep their goals vague on purpose, because naming what you want also means naming the exact conditions under which you will have failed.

13. At Erasmus University in Rotterdam, roughly 10,000 students went through the future authoring program. The improvement was largest among the students who started furthest behind, and many of them later overtook their peers entirely.

14. Writing out your own potential downfall is just as important as writing out your potential success. Naming the version of yourself you are most afraid of becoming gives you something concrete to fight against instead of a vague, paralyzing dread.

15. A memory that still produces strong negative emotion after eighteen months means you have not actually solved the problem it represents. Your brain is still tagging it as a live threat.

16. Writing through painful memories often makes you feel worse in the short term and significantly better three to six months later. Progress frequently requires doing the uncomfortable thing first.

17. The entire purpose of the humanities was never to please a professor or guess the expected answer. It was to help you find your true voice, because every argument you formulate becomes a permanent part of your character whether you intended it to or not.
