Being yourself is the ultimate cheat code. #aggressivepatience. 28all. Eya. *MS, PB, JG* The Warm-Up: “The seats are empty. The theatre is dark. Why do you keep acting?” ~Charles Bukowski The Core: “Pain passes through generations until someone is ready to feel it.” ~Stephi Wagner “If you want to stand out in a crowded marketplace—tell the truth.” ~Alex Hormozi “Oh, okay. Oh alright. You think that chemistry gonna help you when you gotta guard Steph?” ~Kevin Durant, Court of Gold “Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought.” ~Albert Szent-Györgyi “When you understand that every opinion is a vision loaded with personal history, you will begin to understand that all judgement is confession.” ~Nikola Tesla “Right now life is teaching me the law of detachment. Aint nothing really yours, you gotta be comfortable with not being attached, just enjoying life for what it is & moving on when it’s time.” ~@onlystresstoday “Being interesting has little to do with your intelligence, and much more to do with whether you had the courage to explore independently another path, regardless of what ‘society’ thought about it.” ~Orange Book “Don’t post to get likes. They are the dopamine-filled empty calories of social media. Post to refine your thinking and to connect with other people. Some of my best learnings and connections on social media came from posts with 10 likes.” ~Mike Beckham “Heard from LPs this week… ‘There are about 14,000 private equity funds (VC, growth, buyout). That’s more than there are McDonalds in the US.’ Add credit, infra, real estate – that’s closer to 25k. Now add direct deal opportunities…#treatyourpartnerswell.” ~Meghan Reynolds “Emotions are like children. You don’t want them driving your car because they will crash it. You don’t want to shove them in the trunk because they might die. You want them in the back seat where they can be seen and heard and attended to, but they’re not in control of anything.” ~Dr. Arianna Brandolini Last Set: “The conversations that have been the most impactful to me all have this element of insane humility in them, which is, ‘Wow, there is a lot happening. I don’t totally understand it. I need to go and figure out more.’ All of them, they’re not assertions as much as they are curiosity. They’re so much of ‘Oh, man, there is a lot going on. I got to get closer to the metal. I got to do more truth seeking.’ The conversations that have been the most interesting are all that. They are people that are really trying to listen. There are people that are really trying to get closer. And they are all people that are sort of confused is the right word. But certainly, ‘Man, there is a lot going on right now.’ And that humility is probably the thing that I’m most attracted to in a conversation right now about these topics, which is, here’s what I know. Cool. Now, I just want to figure out a bunch of stuff. That’s why I come back to don’t outsource your conviction. Don’t do something because I think I believe something. Do something because you believe it, but go try to figure it out.” ~Ravi Gupta, AI or Die or Invest Like The Best w/ Patrick O’Shaughnessy Episode 411 Food For Thought: Nine sources of advantage: 1. Raw talent/intelligence - Some people are just naturally better and smarter. 2. Hard work - Some people work harder. 3. Different - Seeing the world differently. Doing something different. Reading different books. Interpreting the same information differently. 4. Process / Discipline / Rules - Creating a process and following it. Working out every day is a great example. 5. Talent Collector - The ability to find/hire/retain the best people AND get the most out of them. 6. Patience - A lack of patience changes the outcome. Can add endurance to this (and 7). 7. Ability to take pain - Are you willing to look like an idiot to get better? How much risk are you willing to take, AND, importantly, can you handle the losses? 8. Temperament - Keeping your head when everyone else is losing theirs. 9. Luck
