Many talented data professionals move into more platform/technical roles as their careers progress - going from creating first order business value (data products, actionable insights) to second order value (pace, confidence, ease of iteration). 1/3

Joy comes from an internal sense of alignment with what is "good". Focus more on becoming more joyful. Focus less on obtaining happiness.

@shreyas ROI optimization and minimizing Opportunity Cost seem very similar to me. Is the difference to you that ROI optimization focuses on choosing the "best" project, while Opportunity Cost focuses on not missing potential new opportunities?

Rereading books is fun because lines hit differently as you change.

How you bookmark a book on one read shows who you were then.

How you bookmark a book on a new read shows who you are now.

The difference shows what's changed. And that's deeply personal.

@chhlss Um, rude.

[Darrin Lim @LimDarrin]

@shl Do you have any pointers on how you embed that mindset into the culture of a team?

@TeamGaryVee @garyvee @ApplePodcasts Obviously, way more insight and impact listening to Gary, but those were my takeaways!

@TeamGaryVee @garyvee @ApplePodcasts TLDL;

1. Market size matters.

If you can focus your effort & passion on a related business you're 85-90% as passionate about with a 10x larger market, do that.

2. Hire earlier than you think.

If you want to grow fast, you need to build faster through hires.

[Darrin Lim @LimDarrin]

@TeamGaryVee @garyvee @ApplePodcasts 3. You'll never trick the market over the long term.

This is why 95% of NFTs are going to fail - they're just get rich quick schemes.

4. Brand is a form of capital you can't see.

That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Storytelling
(1) How do you make people feel certain emotions?
(2) Storytellers have changed how I live and understand the world, for the better. I'd like to do the same for others.

The best way to start studying a subject is to understand:

(1) the fundamental question you're trying to answer
(2) why answering that question is important to you

Some of my current answers to those points are:

Jiu-Jitsu
(1) How do you control your emotions, your body, and your opponent's body (in that order) in a confrontational situation?
(2) Folding people like laundry is kind of cool.
