Harsh Truth: You'll literally never know what you want to be when you grow up.

The idea that you should know what you want to do with your life by the time you are 20 is one of the worst lies we are told.

I spent years stressing out over my lack of a clearly defined path...

But then I realized that most hyper-successful people still have no idea what they want to do.

They just have a bias for action that has allowed them to capitalize on opportunities and compound effectively over time.

If you have a bias for action, you'll always be fine.

Divers in western Greece have reported a rare sighting of hundreds of seahorses in a polluted lagoon. They warn the threatened species could be lost in the area if it isn’t cleaned up.

This is wild. In Trader Joe's, some if the coffee has a QR code so you can send money directly to the farmer. I mean that is frictionless cross border payment services

Folks in their early 20s on here talking about side hustles and investing and learning hacks and career claptrap, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Go fall in love and read books and walk along the beach and be emo and do stuff you'll not get to do again, man. What's wrong with all of you?

Simple marketing hack :

Give as less options as you can to your customer.

Best number of options = 1

For startup investing, build a network.

To build a network, build a great reputation.

To build a great reputation, stand by your founders no matter what.

They'll recommend you to other founders.

"The founder network is like the mafia."

Founders: new hack for oversubscribed rounds that I’m seeing companies employ. Reserve space for investors who send you employee referrals. Eg: $100k allocation for each engineer, PM or designer that they refer, and you end up hiring. Worth reserving say $500k for this approach.

Start a side project instead of a company.

Write a blog post instead of a book.

Lower the stakes to increase the odds.

[Kunal Shah @kunalb11]

Worst manifestation of high IQ is pedantic nitpicking and fault finding.

Hard to pivot such folks to problem solving.
