How Elon Musk hired ex-Tesla president @jonmcneill is a story you shouldn't miss:
Tesla promised a sale of 12,000 cars. Six weeks in, they'd sold 3. Elon was staring at disaster.
Jon went undercover. He visited 8 Tesla stores, test drove cars using fake emails, and never got a callback.
He called sales ops and asked: "How many people test drove in the last 30 days and never got called back?"
Answer: 9,000.
Jon immediately ordered teams in Asia and Europe to start calling every single one back.
Sales exploded.
When he called Elon to apologize for overstepping, Elon cut him off:
"You've proven you can be useful. Why don't you just join?"
Don't ask for permission to lead. Find the bottleneck and fix it.
Results beat resumes. Every time.

I can’t really tell how expensive real estate is until I price it in BTC.

^ Worth 47 BTC today.
Imo, it will be worth 10 BTC in 5-7 years. (down ~80%)
And that's assuming the price of the home doubles to $10,000,000.
