Stop being scared. It's killing you.

If you were scared to swim, the only way to fix it was to swim.
If you were scared to ride a bike, the only way to fix it was to ride a bike.

Action eliminates fear. Always has.

Interview this week is with @ericries New York Times bestseller author of "The Lean Startup" and now "Incorruptible." He taught a generation of builders about the MVP, build, measure, learn. We talk about how it applies in the age of AI and why your company mission is all wrong.

"You can only grow as high as the soil that you come from." @GrantCardone grew up somewhere the word entrepreneur hadn't been invented yet.

"When I was growing up, the term entrepreneur did not exist."
"You called it out of work. I grew up in the bayous of Louisiana. Nobody talked about banks, debt, getting rich. You can only grow as high as the soil that you come from."

Career advice nobody told you: There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work. Ask the key questions. Get it done. Repeat. If you do that, people will fight over you.

[Divot @Divotdotorg]

Kobe created Black Mamba when his career was falling apart. championships, mvps, 81-point games followed.

@CharlieJabaley did the same at 300 pounds with a brain tumor. Charlie Rocket says reinvention starts with one thing: identity.

full episode with @DerekjAndersen, link in the comments.

[Divot @Divotdotorg]

everything that should have broken you didn't.

@CharlieJabaley, an Emmy winner who rebuilt his life after a brain tumor, calls that being undefeated, batting a thousand, never lost a game. the problem is humans are wired to focus on what's threatening them right now, not on how far they've already come.

likes don't matter. comments don't matter. shares don't matter.

James Dumoulin (@tvmjames) built School of Hard Knocks to 22M followers by obsessing over one thing: watch time. and it all starts in the first three seconds.

[Divot @Divotdotorg]

the world rewards the courageous. James Dumoulin (@tvmjames) got rejected by billionaires and A-listers. kept going. built the credibility. same people said yes later.

credibility kills all bad attitudes.

Silicon Valley today? same as 20 years ago. just everything cranked to the max.

@Twitch co-founder @justinkan on how the industry went from niche to the center of the universe, and with AI, the most extreme version of itself.

[Divot @Divotdotorg]

nothing will ever hit like a jordan and Josh Luber nailed why.

@joshluber co-founded @stockx, a $4B sneaker platform, and created Ghosts. brands control supply, but demand is the whole game. Jordan built that before social media took over, when he was the most popular athlete on earth and it was just him, all organic.
