Put your insecurities away and get on with achieving your goals. Reflect and remind yourself that an accurate criticism is the most valuable feedback you can receive. Imagine how silly and unproductive it would be to respond to your ski instructor as if he were blaming you when he told you that you fell because you didn't shift your weight properly. It's no different if a supervisor points out a flaw in your work process. Fix it and move on.

The person responsible for a decision must be able to explain the thinking behind it openly and transparently so that everyone can understand and assess it. In the event of disagreement, an appeal should be made to either the decision maker's boss or an agreed-upon, knowledgeable group of others, generally people more knowledgeable than and senior to the decision maker.

More than anything, what I hope to convey is my understanding of how the economy and markets work to help your decision-making.
This 30 minute animated video conveys my thinking in a nutshell. It has been viewed by more than 150 million people and has gotten great reviews so I think it’s probably worth the 30 minutes if you’re interested.
Anyway, if you watch it, I’d love to know what you think.

I've initiated a 'no phone in bedroom' policy for 2024. Three nights later, with sleep greatly improved, I can actually feel my brain healing. Do this!
The average person thinks having a job is safer than starting a company.
But 240,000+ workers have been laid off this year – in tech alone.
7 businesses I’d start if I got laid off:
i was doing math problems on the plane (usamo 2023!) and the flight attendant asked me if I was doing schoolwork (flattering age-wise she thought I was in school)
it’s a total shame that most people stop doing any technical or quantitative deep work post-school, esp on pen&paper
Amazing story.
In 2015 Jet promised 100K shares to anyone who referred the most users.
Eric Martin, spent $18K on Google Ads to refer 8K users and WON.
In 2016, Walmart acquired Jet for $3.3B. Eric made $20M.
I am 31 years old. 🧓
69 hours ago, I sold my AI startup for $100M 💸
I started working on it *just* 4 months ago.
Here's the step-by-step guide to building a great AI startup 🧵
Two startups building in the same area:
Startup Founder 🅰️: "I bootstrapped to $50K a month and ship code every week."
Startup Founder 🅱️: "I raised $10M from Famous VC B and will launch in 6 months."
Who will win?
