You should know about Brunello Cucinelli.

He's the billionaire founder of a $450 million fashion brand. His company is valued at more than €1.6 billion, and it's fueled by his radical approach to business.

This thread is a collection of the best things I've learned from him.

My VA and I have developed a good enough system now where she's able to handle 95% of my email and I only do email for maybe 5-10 minutes a day now.

Anyone interested in something on this process and how we set it up?

"Full many a flower is born to blush unseen"...I've always thought that the interesting bit here is impact, opportunity, and reach rather than ability. Emergent Ventures is kind of about this, as are Thiel Fellowships - https://t.co/OpKcblB2T6

Zero ambiguity about anything, machine readable, as short as it can be, and no reason for anyone to ever have to load any sort of context into their head. It is what it looks like.

There’s an idea in poker called “table selection.”

Basically, there are two ways to win more: you can either improve your skills or you can play against weaker players. The metaphor applies to every industry.

Wonderful, wonderful tale from Nora Ephron (of When Harry Met Sally fame) about writers not just regurgitating the facts but needing to unearth the real point behind a story

I may continue to wear a mask after Covid. Fewer colds and other pathogens, allergens and pollutants

The concept of a Second Brain isn't the next iteration of personal productivity. It's the next wave that will supersede the concept of productivity altogether. Not even the most productive human being can compete against someone who knows how to harness information systems

[Stephen Pimentel @StephenPiment]

Remarkable how many US citizens become enraged that presidential elections work exactly as the Constitution says they're supposed to work, as opposed to some other system in their head that they just made up.
