Key Takeaways Today, people play the same power games that were played in the times of Napoleon and Machiavelli Seduction is opening up doors in people that are normally closed Mastering your craft is the ultimate form of powerWe tend to distance ourselves from anything that might alter our sense of self Letting go of your sense of self can be scary because it might churn up parts of yourself or the world that you do not want to confront“If you are creative, the world will bow down to you.” – Robert GreeneWarfare is politics by other meansSuccess can be the worst thing that can happen to you “At the root of creative impulse, is anxiety.” – Robert GreeneContrary to consensus thinking that suggests creativity is the result of being free and loose, and may help to build structure around your creative practice Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgRobert Greene is an author known for his books on strategy, power, mastery, and seduction. The 48 Laws of Power, perhaps Greene's most famous book, found a particularly passionate audience among rappers and musicians, as the book resonates with the challenges and dynamics of the music industry.

#737 - Dr Karan Rajan - Debunking The Internet’s Biggest Health Myths
Modern Wisdom
Key Takeaways There’s a big rise in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) likely from increased consumption of processed foods, less sleep, more stressYour gut produces 80% or more of the serotonin in your body but that serotonin doesn’t cross the blood-brain barrier and doesn’t directly influence your moodFood you eat positively or negatively influences your microbiome and gut microbes
Those microbes can release certain neurotransmitters that can induce certain neurochemical signals via the vagus nerve – which can influence your moodTip! Try the 3-2-1 rule for better sleep: stop eating 3 hours before bed, avoid liquids 2 hours before bed, and cut screens 1 hour before bedWhen dealing with pain: remember, that pain is modulated by what you thinkOur obsession with screens is changing the shape of our eyes! We have a short-sightedness epidemic
Tip: every 20 minutes, give your eyes a break and look out into the distance; this is good for your eyes and activates your parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest)Don’t underestimate the power of experiencing awe; even a beautiful sunset can have meditative effects on your mind & bodyRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDr. Karan Rajan is a surgeon, clinical lecturer at The University of Sunderland and an author
A lot of health advice can be extremely difficult to verify. Does this actually make me healthier? Is it grounded in science, or whimsy? Thankfully there are actual doctors we can ask who can determine science fiction from medical fact.
Expect to learn why you shouldn’t hold in your farts, what Dr Karan wishes more people understood more about digestion, why the best probiotics aren't always found in the supplement section, what a day in the life of a surgeon is like, why IBS is on the rise, whether you can actually die from a broken heart and much more...

The Fitness Scientist: "Even A Little Alcohol Is Hurting Your Health!", "Late Night Screen Time Linked To Cancer!", "Working Shifts Kills You 15 Years Early!" - Kristen Holmes
The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Key Takeaways Light is the signal our brain uses as a master clock, regulating our circadian rhythm – we have to sleep at the right time, view light at the right time, and be in darkness at the right time
“Our relationship to light will directly influence the trajectory of our health. There’s just no question about that.” – Kristen Holmes“Sleep is the greatest natural performance enhancer we have on this planet.” – Kristen HolmesTips for deeper sleep: view bright light within 20 minutes of waking; dim all lights and avoid light viewing as much as possible after the sun sets; avoid eating 3 hours before bed; sleep in a dark, cold room; manage stress throughout the day as much as possibleThere is a lot we can control to reduce vulnerability to diseaseAlign your behaviors with the things you say you care about– if you’re struggling to adopt healthier behaviors, you need to find clarity on what you care about; this could mean cutting people or things out of your life who do not support who you want to be
Your behaviors send you closer or further from the person you want to beDo the work to figure out who you want to be in the world: what do you value, who do you want to be, how do you want to spend your timeWorking out for one hour per day does not give you a license to sit the rest of the day!
Exercise to optimize HRV:(1) Zone 5 (max heart rate) 2-3 times per week; (2) 200-300 minutes of zone 2 per weekTop tips for better health today: (1) prioritize consistent sleep-wake cycle; (2) consume all calories within a 10-hour timeframe, ideally ending 3 hours before bed
Just these two will have a significant downstream effect and regulate your relationship with lightRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIf you have ever wanted to understand what exactly Circadian Rhythm is, and its unbelievable total body impacts, this is the episode for you.
Kristen Holmes is the Vice President of Performance Science at the health and fitness monitoring company, WHOOP. Kristen’s focus is on understanding the scientific, psychological and personal factors that either promote or harm human performance.
In this interview, Steven and Kristen discuss everything from the amazing impact of harnessing your Circadian Rhythm, Heart Rate Variability, the psychology of peak performance, and how people can take control of their health.

Edward Norton
Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin
✓
Claim
Key Takeaways Acting is seeking a deep understanding of another person’s experience Do not let self-consciousness and ego take you out of the present moment Your strength – taken to excess – can become your weaknessIt is difficult to wrangle the ideas that circulate in your head; they become what they becomeThe challenge in life is recovering simplicity After exhausting your wave of creative work, you have two choices: either repeat that work, or you can stop, refill yourself with life, and be willing to start an entirely new adventure It takes courage to step away from an identity that has served youEven if you think that you have liberated yourself from certain things, you still hold onto the DNA memory of the way you were taught to view the world “I always think of the work as solving a puzzle.” – Rick Rubin If the art is opaque, it tends to be narcissistic; if the art is transparent, it tends to be mythological Creating art is not a zero-sum game Bad ideas on paper can still result in masterpieces Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgEdward Norton is one of the great actors of his generation. He has gained acclaim for his roles in movies like Fight Club, American History X, and Primal Fear. In all, he has written, directed, produced, or starred in over 50 movies. His off-screen interests and achievements in environmental activism and social entrepreneurship are just as substantial: he serves as the president of the American branch of the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, an award-winning environmental conservation organization. Additionally, he was appointed the first United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for Biodiversity. In 2010, he founded Crowdrise (acquired by GoFundMe), a platform fostering grassroots fundraising to champion various social and environmental initiatives.

Crisis in Higher Ed & Why Universities Still Matter with Marc & Ben
A16z Podcast
Key Takeaways Universities still matter, especially the really good ones; the decisions made at elite universities end up influencing the future of the country The bundling of the university is evidence that it has evolved; however, it is important for university leaders to continually evaluate that bundle to ensure that it makes senseThe main credentialing of the college degree is in two parts: the fact that you were admitted and the fact that you graduated The admissions process is an IQ test and the graduation process is a conscientiousness test For many degrees, the degree is worth less than the wage that it will command in the free market University tuition rates have increased 2-3x more than the general inflation rate; if current trends continue, the cost of a four-year education at an elite university will cost $1MIncreasingly, the policy recommendations that come out of the think tank component of universities are sharply partisan and extremeStanford and Yale have more administrative staff than they have students! Universities are highly dependent on their current model continuing indefinitely; they are not as fiscally stable as they may seem from the outside perspective In 2015, 57% of American voters had a positive view of American universities; in 2023, that number fell to 36% Entrepreneurial opportunities tend to emerge when an industry experiences systemic shifts Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this one-on-one conversation, Marc and Ben tackle the university system – what has certainly been a hot topic that’s been dominating the news over the past few months. As Marc states at the top of the episode, universities matter tremendously to our world, but they’re currently in a state of crisis.Together, Ben and Marc take a “structural” look at higher education, delving deep into the twelve functions of the modern university. They also unpack the numerous challenges that universities face today – student debt and the replication crisis, among them. They also discuss topics including DEI, student athlete admissions, accreditation, inflation, and much more. As colleges face an existential threat that could have long lasting repercussions, how can we find ways to improve these institutions, while being open to new entrepreneurial opportunities in education?Check out the Ben and Marc show: https://link.chtbl.com/benandmarc Stay Updated: Find a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://twitter.com/stephsmithioPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

What to Expect in 2024: Predictions from Niall Ferguson, Tyler Cowen, Peter Attia, John McWhorter and More
Honestly with Bari Weiss
✓
Claim
Last year was certainly eventful. 2023 brought spy balloons, Donald Trump’s indictments, the coronation of a king, the fall of a crypto prince, and no shortage of chaos in Washington, from the ousting of Kevin McCarthy to the farcical George Santos scandal. Oh and then there’s the small matter of two major wars, one in Gaza and one in Ukraine. Plus, ongoing tension between the U.S. and China. On a cheerier note, 2023 was also the year of Barbenheimer, the year when it felt like AI really arrived, and the year when the 90s were finally cool again.
But, as crazy as last year was, will the next twelve months prove that it was actually just the calm before the storm?
For many of us, 2024 begins with a distinct feeling of dread.
The Middle East grows increasingly unstable, the war in Ukraine is not going Kyiv’s way, and Xi Jinping’s rhetoric gets more bellicose by the day. Here at home, there’s the small matter of the election from hell, in which American voters face the unappetizing prospect of once again having to choose between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
To try and figure out whether things will really be as terrible as we fear, today on Honestly Bari Weiss and FP editor Olly Wiseman are calling up some of our favorite experts to get a better sense of what’s coming down the pike.
The great Tyler Cowen looks into the economic crystal ball. Leandra Medine clues us in on fashion trends in 2024. Our very own Suzy Weiss talks through the cultural year ahead. Linguist John McWhorter looks at language. Doctor and longevity expert Peter Attia tells how to start the year healthy. Eagle-eyed political observers Nate Silver and Frank Luntz try to forecast the election. And the historian Niall Ferguson tells us whether we’re right to be having nightmares about World War III.
Some guests cheered us up, others freaked us out. All of them were a pleasure to talk to. Welcome to 2024!

His impact on my life has been incredible. And then to sit down with him for 2+ hours... and have it go better than I could imagine?

Key Takeaways The more technology and capitalism we get, the better things are going to get Fundamentally, whether or not a startup succeeds depends on whether it is building a product that people want Great people want to be around other great people; most companies are too tolerant of mediocrity In the long run, even the most innovative companies eventually become boringTall Poppy Syndrome: Due to humanity’s tribal inclinations, the Tall Poppy – the person trying to do something new – tends to get cut When something in tech is successful, it tends to change the status structures and hierarchies of societyThe Law of Crappy People: The quality of any level in the company will degrade to the worst person at that level “More companies die of indigestion than of starvation.” – Marc Andreessen The best companies can think in the long term despite the pressures to prioritize the short-term New things in the world are not going to show up predictably By 2030 or 2035, you will be able to have the equivalent of 1,000 AI programmers writing code for you Most people who are opposed to technological change are not opposed to the given technology but are opposed to how that technology may diminish their status and power Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMarc Andreessen is a prominent entrepreneur, investor, and software engineer best known for his key role in the development of the early internet.

#085 Dr. Peter Attia on Mastering Longevity – Insights on Cancer Prevention, Heart Disease, and Aging
Found My Fitness - Rhonda Patrick
Key Takeaways “The healthier an individual is, the more they can rely on their mitochondria for ATP generation under increasing demands of the cell. This is one of the hallmarks of health.” – Dr. Peter AttiaSpend good time training in Zone 2; this means a rate you can hold a conversation and form sentences at, but really don’t want toFor many, rate of perceived exertion is an accurate measureMaffetone heart rate is a helpful target: take 180-age for target HRFour things are causal risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: (1) ApoB; (2) insulin resistance; (3) hypertension; (4) smokingStatin use is inexpensive, accessible, and effective but “If money were no issue, you’d probably just be on PCKS9 inhibitors, ezetimibe, and bempedoic acid.” – Dr. Peter AttiaTip: don’t skip your eye exams! By looking at the retina and capillaries at the back of the eye, diabetes can be detected earlier“Exercise is probably the single most important thing we have at our disposal to increase insulin sensitivity.” – Dr. Peter AttiaSleep, energy balance, hormone balance are key as wellTo optimize cardiovascular health and mitochondrial efficiency: start with how much time you’re willing to exercise – then divide that into 80/20 with 80% at zone 2 and 20% at VO2 max
VO2 max sweet spot is 3-8 minutes with 1:1 ratio of rest to recovery – it takes some time to find how much effort you can put out in this time; it’s slower than a Tabata (20 on/10 off x 8 rounds) but by no means endurance “Exercise is probably the single most important thing we have at our disposal to increase insulin sensitivity.” – Dr. Peter AttiaThe difference between normal glucose and type 2 diabetes is just a teaspoon of blood glucose – muscle is the sink for glucose disposalSmoking and obesity are the greatest modifiable risk factors for cancer
Why obesity? It’s not actually the amount of fate cells; it’s likely the inflammatory environment that comes with obesity –the excess fat that spills into areas where fat accumulation is harmful like around organs, in muscleTip: don’t rely on mammograms exclusively, especially if you’re high risk – combine with ultrasound or MRI“There has been no greater disservice brought by the medical community onto anyone, in particular in this case women, than the abject failure of the Women’s Health Initiative.” – Dr. Peter AttiaHormone replacement therapy started at the onset of menopause will help most womenTestosterone replacement therapy in men should be based on bloodwork in combination with symptoms – but be conservative, there are side effects for individuals at risk (hair loss, slightly elevated risk of cardiovascular events, acne)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org Download the 9-Page "Cognitive Enhancement Blueprint" Discover my premium podcast The Aliquot Show notes are available by clicking here Peter Attia, MD is a highly respected expert in preventive medicine, focused on the crucial subject of longevity and cardiovascular health.

TIP597: Darwin's Investing Lessons w/ Kyle Grieve
CryptoThe Investor's Podcast (TIP)
Key Takeaways A three-step process for beating the market: avoid big risks, buy high-quality businesses at a fair price, and instead of being lazy, be very lazy Optimal investments are made in businesses that are hard to destroyThe two primary mistakes that investors make:#1. Doing something that you are not supposed to do (type I error) #2. Not doing something that you are supposed to do (type II error) Warren Buffett’s two rules of investing:#1. Don’t lose money #2. Don’t forget rule number one“Think about risk first, not return.” – Pulak Prasad Instead of spending time on projections and forecasts, study the history of the business so that you can understand it In the long-run, things do not change that much; however, over shorter periods, there is an appearance that things are changing very fast The Grant-Kurten Principle of Investing (GKPI): If you identify top-notch businesses that maintain their core qualities over time, you should use the short-term ups and downs in their fundamental performance to buy instead of sell Steer clear of information that encourages short-term thinking In the long run, price tracks value; you will be rewarded for holding onto a good investment Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgOn today’s episode, Kyle shares the lessons he learned from reading What I Learned About Investing From Darwin by Pulak Prasad.
The book is authored by Pulak Prasad, an investor out of India who helps run Nalanda Capital. From 2007 to 2022, they compounded their capital at 19% per annum turning 1 rupee into 13.8 rupees during that time sample!! But more important than their track record is the unique ways they run their fund.
The book illuminates 3 key principles that Nalanda uses for its investing framework:
1. Avoid big risks.
2. Buy high-quality at a fair price.
3. Don’t be lazy – be very lazy.
To help readers understand why he invests this way he dives deep into many of Darwin’s principles to help you understand their potential power in investing.

Key Takeaways The universe is biased towards certain futures; there is a natural direction where the whole system wants to go If you believe the future will be better, and that you have the agency to make it happen, then you are increasing the likelihood of that better future happenings “Technically, e/acc was started in a basement. I quit big tech, moved back in with my parents, sold my car, let go of my apartment, bought about $100K of GPUs, and I just started building.” – Guillaume VerdonThe goal of the e/acc movement is for the human techno-capital mimetic machine to become self-aware and to superstitiously engineer its growthThe core thesis of e/acc: The adaptation of the system is what has gotten us to this point in time; this process is good, and we should keep it going The market is more efficient at achieving optimums than are heavy-handed regulations, which tend to be subversive and written by the incumbents Any centralized power structure becomes a target for those who want to co-opt it A system that maintains dynamism and adaptability avoids tyranny The way to a good future is to shape adversarial equilibria between the various AI players Whatever configuration of matter or information leads to maximal growth is where humans and AI will converge; we can either align ourselves with this trajectory or get left behind by trying to decelerateContinuing to climb up the Kardashev scale is the great challenge of our time Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgGuillaume Verdon (aka Beff Jezos on Twitter) is a physicist, quantum computing researcher, and founder of e/acc (effective accelerationism) movement.

The Science of Training Your Attention | Dr. Amishi Jha
Ten Percent Happier with Dan Harris
Key Takeaways A “peak mind” is a mind that has access to its full attentional awareness You must develop an awareness of the current state of your mind so that you can negotiate what is best to do next, based on that awareness Focus is the brain’s orienting system; focus is like using a flashlight in a dark room When you think you are multitasking, you are just task-switching The data suggests that the advertised benefits of meditation can be achieved with about 12 minutes of meditation per day, done 4-5 days per weekThe goal of meditation is not to end mind-wandering, but to create a different relationship with it Allowing the mind to wander for some periods can be very beneficialRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgHow to stay focused, fight distraction, and function at your peak.Dr. Amishi Jha is a professor of psychology at the University of Miami. She serves as the Director of Contemplative Neuroscience for the Mindfulness Research and Practice Initiative, which she co-founded in 2010.

Andrew McAfee on the Geek Way
Econtalk
What's different about companies that accomplish amazing things? Perhaps surprisingly, says Andrew McAfee of MIT, it has nothing to do with being agile or with better technology. Instead, they've developed what he calls "geek" cultures, which emphasize intense cooperation, rapid learning curves, and a lack of hierarchy. Listen as McAfee talks about his book The Geek Way with EconTalk's Russ Roberts and how focusing on company norms, as opposed to organizational charts and structure, is a key to realizing big ambitions. They also discuss the role that data and evidence play in geek companies' decision-making and why the willingness to embrace failure is a winning strategy.

When Weakness Turns Your Ego Up | A Simple Way To Measure Our Days
The Daily Stoic
Key Takeaways Ask yourself, “What is the thing that I uniquely enjoy?” Since there is so much noise in sales, you must do something to stand out; using humor and satire are two ways to do that To make the niche content funny, you need to know the terminology of the niche There are no rules on X/Twitter; the owner of the site sells cars… we are on Twitter to have fun and laugh!Criteria for identifying problems to solve: market size, excitement, time-to-first-dollar, and product viability Having passion for the space and users you are serving is probably more important than passion for the individual idea Don’t get married to your original idea; be open to pivoting throughout your journey Question to consider: “Am I working on something valuable to the world?” Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgSo it goes for ego. To the untrained eye, it can be mistaken for confidence. The person’s self-centeredness, their certainty, their entitlement—this seems like the way that only the most important and gifted person in the world could get away with acting. In reality, the person doesn’t feel that way inside at all. On the contrary, they feel very small. Nero, for instance, demanded that enormous audiences celebrate his greatness. This was also the same emperor who banished a poet from Rome for being too talented, and thus a threat.-And with today's meditation on the day's Daily Journal excerpt, Ryan reminds us that as we get older we should get better at not taking it taking it for granted, living each day as a representation as the person you aspire to be. For the last five years, we have been doing what we call the Daily Stoic New Year New You Challenge—a set of 21 actionable challenges, presented one per day, built around the best, most timeless wisdom in Stoic philosophy. 21 challenges designed to set you up to be able to say, whatever happens in 2024 and beyond, this is precisely what I trained for..

We never had one. All the other young kids delivered newspapers on a bike. He's got no money. He doesn't have a bike. So he ran his routes for two months in order to get enough money to buy his first bike. He’d run nine or 10 miles a day.

It is a case of repeat, repeat, repeat.(1:08:00) Charlie Munger analyzes why Les Schwab was successful.(1:11:00) Extreme success is likely to be caused by some combination of the following factors:1 Extreme maximization or minimization of one or two variables. Think Costco.2 Adding success factors so that a bigger combination drives success, often in nonlinear fashion, as one is reminded by the concept of breakpoint and the concept of critical mass in physics. Often, results are not linear. You get a little bit more mass and you get a lollapalooza result. And, of course, I've been searching for lollapalooza results all my life, so I'm very interested in models that explain their occurrence.3 An extreme of good performance over many factors.

#282 - AMA #54: Magnesium: risks of deficiency, how to correct it, supplement options, potential cognitive and sleep benefits, and more
Drive with Dr. Peter Attia
Key Takeaways Three mainsystems where magnesium matters the most: (1) bone health; (2) nerve transmission; (3) glucose control & insulin metabolism“The extent to which magnesium can help in a given area, whether it be bone health…or with respect to metabolism, is largely a function of magnesium deficiency. In other words, the more deficient you are in magnesium, the more you will be helped by supplementing magnesium.” – Dr. Peter AttiaWays to measure magnesium:
Commercially available plasma tests from the lab (least recommended method)Urinary test collection – the less magnesium in the urine, the more likely you are to be deficient because it means the kidneys are holding on to magnesiumLoad the patient with magnesium and measure urinary excretion (likely done only in cases of suspected renal failure)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgView the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter’s Weekly Newsletter In this “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, Peter tackles essential questions about magnesium, beginning with the important roles it plays in the body and why maintaining proper levels is crucial. Peter discusses the harms of magnesium deficiency, how to determine if you're deficient, potential causes of deficiency, and how diet and supplementation can be used to increase magnesium levels. Peter unravels the confusion surrounding magnesium supplementation, discussing the optimal forms and recommended daily intake while addressing concerns about excess consumption. He also explores the potential cognitive and sleep benefits associated with magnesium supplementation. Finally, Peter concludes with a look into his recent experimentation with new exercises to serve as benchmarks to assess his progress and fitness levels as he navigates the aging process.

#182 Todd Herman: Unleashing Your Secret Identity
Knowledge Project
Key Takeaways Check out the Knowledge Project Podcast Episode Page & Show NotesRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWe all inhabit different identities throughout our day. Perhaps we’re entrepreneurs or employees, mothers or fathers, athletes or CEOs. But how can you harness the strengths of these different identities to get the best out of yourself? And can these different identities be used to get through tough times? Todd Herman calls on more than two decades of experience working with top performers on performance, strategy, mindset, and execution to discuss his thoughts on peak performance, the value of patience, the fear that prevents us from performing our best, imposter syndrome, and how he worked with Kobe Bryant to build the legendary alter-ego of The Black Mamba. Herman has worked with elite athletes, peak performers, and entrepreneurial leaders for over 22 years. He helps them achieve their most ambitious goals by becoming more resilient, creative, confident, and courageous.

TIP591: Currencies and Debt w/ Lyn Alden
CryptoThe Investor's Podcast (TIP)
Key Takeaways The goal of investing is not to find people who agree with you, it is to generate good returns Monetary dilution is only possible because it is not apparent to the citizens who hold the currencyBitcoin and stablecoins go around gateways imposed by governments; they offer access to alternative currencies that are outside the control of a government that is diluting its currencyIn a world where gold could have been teleported from citizen to citizen, it would have been difficult for governments to impose fiat currencies on their citizens The current monetary system makes financial engineering more profitable than real engineering A multi-decade period of stability, with debt levels slowly rising, ironically leads to a period of instability due to the amount of leverage that has built up over time When debt gets pushed to the sovereign level, that sovereign’s currency typically serves as the relief valve, i.e. the currency gets debasedBonds will keep losing value relative to other assets because the interest rate they offer is not keeping up with the rate at which the money supply is expanding Because central banks can print an infinite amount of money, technically, there is no amount of deflation that they cannot overcome; however, the key question is what are the consequences of overcoming itAs a result of central banks printing money to override deflationary forces, rising prices are likely to manifest in areas that are not driven by tech deflation, such as blue-collar services Lyn expects to see continued de-dollarization of payment channels and more reserve diversification at the sovereign level When a country’s monetary ledger becomes destabilized, it tends to become forcibly dollarizedIt will be increasingly hard for the long tail of weaker currencies to persist because now, people have access to a global basket of other currencies and assets Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, Stig Brodersen talks with investment expert Lyn Alden about currencies, debt, inflation, and how to invest in an uncertain world.

#327 Ted Turner
Founders
✓
Claim
What I learned from reading Ted Turner's Autobiography.----Get access to the World’s Most Valuable Notebook for Founders by investing in a subscription to Founders Notes----Listen to Art of Investing #4 David Senra Lessons from the Founder Historian. ----(9:00) My net worth dropped by about 67 million per week, or nearly 10 million per day, every day for two and a half years.(10:00) Once to drive home a point about the difficulties of attracting good loyal employees he told me: Jesus only had to pick 12 disciples and even one of those didn't turn out well.(10:00) Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and advertise .(11:00) Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story by Arnold Schwarzenegger. (Founders #141)(13:30) The problem isn't getting rich, it's staying sane. — Charlie Munger(17:00) I learned a lesson that would stick with me throughout my career. When the chips are down in the pressure's on it's amazing to how creative people can be.(20:00) My father always maintained many of the different billboard businesses as separate legal entities. (He didn’t want to dilute ownership of his main company and separate entities allowed for periodic reorganization to offset capital gains liabilities.(20:30) When you own an asset your job is to maximize its value.(23:00) He combines the assets he has in a way his competitors can not.(24:00) The more I learned about TV stations the more I realized that ours was a disaster. Of the 35 people who were on the payroll when we took over only two were still there a year later —the custodian and the receptionist.(25:00) Ted Turner believed in the power of television more than almost anybody else.(30:30) My dad taught me early on that longterm relationships with your customers and partners are very important. You never know how the guy who you're friendly with today might be able to help you tomorrow.(31:00) Cable Cowboy: John Malone and the Rise of the Modern Cable Business by Mark Robichaux. (Founders #268)(32:00) What other people in his industry sees as a threat, Ted sees as an opportunity.(37:00) These issues were all unchartered territory. All of us, the regulators, the broadcasters, the program suppliers and the leagues were sorting things out on the fly. I was working as hard as I could. I'd go all out during the day, working on sales, distribution, regulatory issues, whatever the battle happened to be, and I'd worked right up until it was time to fall asleep. I had a pull down Murphy bed in my office and I would literally work until the point of total exhaustion. Then I'd put my head on the pillow at night worried about problems. Then I'd wake up and spend the entire next day trying to solve them.(44:00) One of the most important ideas in the book is the power of Belief: Clearly the company for whom the economics of 24 hour news would have made the most sense with a big three broadcasters. They already had most of what was needed: studios, bureaus, reporters, anchors. They had everything but a belief in cable.(45:00) I'm going to be a billionaire. And here's why. I'm going to put this station up on a satellite and I'm going to get a news thing going. Sports, movies and news, 24 hours a day, all over the world. He said this in 1976.(46:00) Henry Ford didn't need focus groups to tell him that people would prefer inexpensive, dependable automobiles over horses. Alexander Graham Bell never stopped to worry about whether people would prefer speaking to each other on a phone.(49:00) I'm always convinced that one of the reasons that I've been successful is that I've almost always competed against people who were bigger and stronger, but who had less commitment and desire than I did. For Turner Broadcasting this dispute meant everything. We had to win.(52:00) Ted’s Superstation idea is printing money: $177 million in revenue and $66 million in profit. This is in the 1980s!(53:00) It would be 13 years before we faced another 24 hour news channel.(57:00) He has a keen understanding of how to combine assets to create an advantage that no one else has.(58:00) The Gambler: How Penniless Dropout Kirk Kerkorian Became the Greatest Deal Maker in Capitalist History by William C. Rempel. (Founders #65)(58:00) Genius has the fewest moving parts.

Tyler Cowen on the GOAT of Economics
Econtalk
Who is the greatest economist of all time? In Tyler Cowen's eclectic view, you need both breadth and depth, macro and micro. You can't have been too wrong--and you need to be mostly right. You have to have had a lasting impact, and done both theory and empirical work. If you meet all these criteria, you may just be history's greatest economist. Listen as Cowen talks about his new and freely accessible book GOAT with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. Along the way to crowning a winner, Cowen offers original insights into what shaped the theories and worldviews of the greatest economists of all time. Cowen and Roberts also talk about the evolution of economics from a field concerned mainly with ideas to one that mostly grapples with empirical challenges.

Sam Harris: The Bright Line Between Good and Evil
Honestly with Bari Weiss
✓
Claim
Key Takeaways “We all live in Israel now. It’s just that most of us haven’t realized it yet.” – Sam Harris The Israel-Palestine conflict should not be confusing: Hamas took sadistic pleasure in torturing and killing non-combatants In the last 40 years, there have been 50,000 acts of Islamic terrorismThe problem of Jihadism: The triumphal belief, by some percentage of the world’s Muslims, that they must conquer the world for the one true faith, through force, and that paradise awaits anyone who would sacrifice his or her life to that endAccording to FBI statistics, though Jews are just over 2% of the population, they receive over half the hate in America, and five times the level that Muslims do“The outpouring of anti-semitism that we have witnessed since October 7th really seems to mark a new moment, both in the U.S. and globally.” – Sam Harris“The boundary between anti-Semitism and generic moral stupidity is a little hard to discern.” – Sam Harris “Most elite circles in the West – academia, Hollywood, the media, non-profits – have been poisoned, to one degree or another, by this social justice psychosis, where imaginary harms are seized upon as though they were existential concerns and pure evil is easily shrugged off, or even celebrated as a victory.” – Sam Harris “For the jihadists, all of this sadism – the torture and murder of helpless, terrified people – is an act of worship.” – Sam Harris Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgFor today’s episode, we’re thrilled to share the most recent episode of our friend Sam Harris’s podcast, Making Sense.
Moral confusion is plaguing this moment like never before. It’s everywhere: from college campuses to congress. Sam, better than almost anyone, is able to speak to that confusion, with facts, nuance and moral clarity. Importantly, he doesn’t just visit this topic with the narrow lens of this particular war between Hamas and Israel, but with a bird’s eye view of history. But according to Sam, it’s not the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that matters so much right now, but rather the history—and enduring global problem—of jihadism. And that’s what this episode is about.
The episode, aptly titled, The Bright Line Between Good and Evil, is sobering, illuminating and well worth your time. Please listen.

Zach Weinersmith on Space Settlement and A City on Mars
Econtalk
Loss of taste for most foods, vision problems, loss of muscle mass and bone density. In light of these and the many unpleasant our outright dangerous effects of space travel on human physiology, science writer and cartoonist Zach Weinersmith wonders: When it comes to the dream of space expansion, what exactly do we hope to gain? Listen as he and EconTalk's Russ Roberts discuss his new book (co-authored with Kelly Weinersmith) A City on Mars, which offers a hard-nosed yet humorous look at the sobering and lesser-discussed challenges involved in building space settlements. Topics include the particular problems posed by the moon and Mars's atmospheres; the potential difficulty of reproducing in zero gravity; and the dangerous tendency to overlook a key factor in whether space settlement is a good idea: the fact that people are people, wherever they may be.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Jack Kruse
Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin

Claim
Key Takeaways The problem is not free-market capitalism; the problem is corporate-crony capitalismRecommended reading:JFK and the Unspeakableby James Douglass“Many of the people who were involved in my uncle’s death have made confessions. Probably twenty of them” – RFK Jr.The lead investigator of the HSAC, Robert Blakey, has stated that he believes there was CIA involvement in the death of President Kennedy “Fiat currency was invented to fund war.” – RFK Jr. Freedom of speech becomes irrelevant if a government can starve you to death The medical-industrial complex is enabled by agency capture: the regulator becomes a “sock puppet” for the industry he is supposed to regulateOperation Paperclip was the CIA’s first mission; it involved the smuggling of Nazi scientists out of Germany to escape the Nuremberg trials so that they could go to work for the United States
In the decades that followed, these scientists conducted all types of experiments in the U.S., including MK-Ultra and other mind-control experiments Some of the experiments conducted by Operation Paperclip scientists included open-air dosing of American cities, airports, and subway systemsIn response to President Obama shutting down his projects, Anthony Fauci relocated his gain-of-function research operation to Wuhan Chronic disease is the problem in America, not an infectious disease“Once I’m sure of a choice, I do it without regret.” – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgRobert F. Kennedy Jr and Dr. Jack Kruse join Tetragrammaton to talk about water pollution, corruption vs. capitalism, spirituality, running for office, the privatization of natural resources, the death of Robert’s uncle John F. Kennedy, the history of SV-40, the medical industrial complex, the Monsanto trial, the chronic disease epidemic, and some of the things Robert would do as President.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an environmental attorney, activist, founder of the Children’s Health Defense, the author of The Real Anthony Fauci (All proceeds of his book go to the Children’s Health Defense), and a 2024 candidate for the office of The President of the United States.
Dr. Jack Kruse is a neurosurgeon who had an awakening in 2007 when he suffered a torn meniscus in his knee at 6’2”, 357 lbs. This led to his further study of physics, light, magnetism, and electricity. He ultimately concluded that modern medicine lacked a deep understanding of how humans function in relation to the natural world. He published his first book titled Epi-Paleo Rx: The Prescription for Disease Reversal and Optimal Health in 2013. In addition to being a neurosurgeon and author, Kruse is CEO of Kruse Longevity Center, a health and wellness company dedicated to helping patients avoid the healthcare burdens typically encountered with age.

AI Will Save The World with Marc Andreessen and Martin Casado
A16z Podcast
Key Takeaways Marc Andreessen’s article, “Why AI Will Save the World,” dispels AI hysteria and emphasizes its transformative potentialMarc is worried about the public conversation on AI, which includes a mix of legitimate questions, explanations, and hysterical emotionsHe is also worried about certain individuals or groups trying to exploit the situation by seeking regulatory capture and stifling innovation and startupsMartin asks about the class of problems that AI is now good at compared to the past:
Marc points out two key factors: the scale of training data, made possible by internet-scale data collection, and the increase in compute power, particularly with GPUsHe emphasizes the role of quantity in achieving quality in AI systemsMarc emphasizes that although the initial focus of GPT-4 may lean towards leisure and utility uses, he has always believed in the significance of technology being user-friendly and enjoyable“The actual experience of using these systems today is it’s actually a lot more like love, right? And I’m not saying that they literally are conscious that they love you, but like, or maybe the analogy would almost be more like a puppy. Like they’re like really smart puppies, right?” – Marc AndreessenTraditional adoption pattern: Government -> Big companies -> Small businesses -> IndividualsShift in adoption pattern: Consumers -> Small businesses -> Big companies -> GovernmentBenefits of the current adoption pattern:Faster access to new technologies for everyoneMass market evaluation of technologies before government and big business decisionsIncreased individual autonomy and agency in technology adoptionConcerns and arguments regarding correctness and adoption:Fear of incorrect or unpredictable outputs from AI systems
Potential misuse by criminalsTwo biggest commercial opportunities in recent times:
“Those are trillion-dollar prizes, right? Whoever figures out how to fix those problems [correctness and security] has the ability potentially to build a company worth a trillion dollars, to make this technology generally useful in a way where it’s guaranteed to always be correct or guaranteed to always be secure.” – Marc AndreessenExample of correctness approach using ChatGPT and Wolfram Alpha plugin:Install the Wolfram Alpha plugin to cross-check math and science statementsWolfram Alpha acts as a deterministic calculatorHybrid architecture combining a deterministic calculator with a creative AI systemThere is a misconception of AI replacing top artists or creators; the focus should be on augmenting their abilitiesAddressing concerns about AI replacing human labor:Technological advancements enhance the productivity rateExponential productivity ramp leads to price crash and near-zero cost for products/servicesMarc is dismissive of concerns that AI will eliminate work and worsen human well-beingSocial reform movements have two sides:
True believers: represented by the Baptists, they advocate for social improvement by banning alcohol (as in the analogy of prohibition used by Marc to explain the AI reform phenomenon)Opportunistic beneficiaries: represented by bootleggers, they financially benefit from the illegal trade of alcohol and take advantage of the laws and regulations passed by the reform movement to establish their businessesIn modern times, bootleggers are legitimate business people seeking government protection from competition, aiming to form monopolies or cartels and create regulatory structures that prevent new competitionGeopolitical implications of AI and concerns regarding China’s ambitions:
Focus on the Chinese Communist Party and regime, not the people of ChinaChina’s 2025 plan and speeches by Xi Jinping outline their goal of developing AI for population control and surveillanceTwo-stage plan: Implement authoritarian AI control within China, then spread it globallyThe worst-case scenario involves China’s vision spreading across Asia, Europe, South America, and potentially the rest of the worldThe doomsday scenarios presented by AI critics are far-fetched and divorced from the reality of AI technologyThe claim that AI will lead to crippling inequality is a misinterpretation of how the economy and self-interest workRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgThis week, a16z’s own cofounder Marc Andreessen published a nearly 7,000-word article that aimed to dispel fears over AI's risks to our humanity – both real and imagined. Instead, Marc elaborates on how AI can "make everything we care about better." In this timely one-on-one conversation with a16z General Partner Martin Casado, Marc discusses how this technology will maximize human potential, why the future of AI should be decided by the free market, and most importantly, why AI won’t destroy the world. In fact, it may save it.

#367: Robert Greene – On Meditation, Success & Death
The Danny Miranda Podcast
Key Takeaways The purpose of meditation for Robert Greene was not to renounce worldly ambitions but to find self-awareness and connect ambitions to his true selfLessons from 12+ years of meditation:Robert’s meditation practice involves daily sessions of Zen meditation, sitting for 35-45 minutes in complete silenceMeditation is a source of creativity as it taps into his unconscious and brings forth new and unexplored ideasThe mind becomes like an empty, blue sky—free from hindrances and fixed ideas—through meditationHe emphasizes the importance of connecting ambition to something deep within oneself, rather than pursuing empty or external goalsThose who constantly seek distractions instead of facing boredom weaken their ability to handle resistanceWriters in their 20s often make the following mistakes:Poor punctuation, spelling, and grammar skillsUnderestimating the importance of writing as a skillAssuming that writing doesn’t require effort or practiceFocusing on their ego rather than effective communicationUsing clever phrases and puns without conveying meaningful contentWriting is not about self-expression but about communicating effectively with othersDeveloping empathy involves redirecting narcissism and self-love toward others and being genuinely interested in understanding their perspectivesReading people’s emotions and moods, rather than trying to read their minds, is crucial in understanding and connecting with themThose who have a clear sense of their unique destiny from an early age tend to have more success and power in lifeSuccess, for Robert, is the feeling of freedom where he doesn’t have bosses, people pressuring him, or limitations on what he can write aboutThe experience of being in a coma, waking up, and realizing how close he came to death made death more than just an intellectual idea—it became a physical presenceHe always prioritized gaining life experiences and finding things interesting over monetary considerations“The 48 Laws of Power” continues to sell well because it transcends specific periods and remains applicable to the current power dynamics, especially with the rise of social media and the internetHe does not aim to create sequels or repeat past successes for the sake of making money but instead focuses on exploring new areas and ideasRobert is currently working on a book about the sublime, which builds upon the final chapter of “The Laws of Human Nature” and “The 50th Law” (co-authored with 50 Cent) that touched on the subjectRobert suggests a challenge for listeners to spend five minutes every day questioning thoughts, feelings, desires, and motivations instead of assuming that everything is knownRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgRobert Greene is a writer. His books have sold millions of copies (including The 48 Laws of Power).
In this conversation, we spoke about what new writers get wrong, valuing experiences over money, why his ideas have stuck for 25+ years, developing empathy, and the role of meditation in his own life.

Companies that have cultivated their individual identities by shaping values, making heroes, spelling out rites and rituals, and acknowledging the cultural network, have an edge(5:30) We prefer the discipline of knowledge to the anarchy of ignorance. We pursue knowledge the way a pig pursues truffles. A blind pig can sometimes find truffles, but it helps to know that they grow in oak forests.(5:48) We hire gentlemen with brains.(6:16) Only First Class business, and that in a First Class way.(6:25) Search all the parks in all your cities; you'll find no statues of committees.(9:45) Buy Ogilvy on Advertising (10:45) One decent editorial counts for a thousand advertisements. + You simply cannot mix your messages when selling something new. A consumer can barely handle one great new idea, let alone two, or even several. — Against the Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #300)(15:22) It was inspiring to work for a supreme master. M. Pitard did not tolerate incompetence. He knew that it is demoralising for professionals to work alongside incompetent amateurs.(16:66) You have to be ruthless if you want to build a team of A players. It's too easy, as a team grows, to put up with a few B players, and they then attract a few more B players, and soon you will even have some C players. The Macintosh experience taught me that A players like to work only with other A players, which means you can't indulge B players.(18:12) In the best companies, promises are always kept, whatever it may cost in agony and overtime.(18:33) I have come to the conclusion that the top man has one principal responsibility: to provide an atmosphere in which creative mavericks can do useful work.(19:38) I admire people who work hard, who bite the bullet.(19:58) I admire people with first class brains.(20:23) I admire people who work with gusto. If you don't enjoy what you are doing, I beg you to find another job. Remember the Scottish proverb, "Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead."(20:50) I admire self-confident professionals, the craftsmen who do their jobs with superlative excellence.(21:40) The best way to keep the peace is to be candid.(23:18) That’s been the most important lesson I’ve learned in business: that the dynamic range of people dramatically exceeds things you encounter in the rest of our normal lives—and to try to find those really great people who really love what they do. — Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words.

Aim for the company of immortals.(40:13) Most big corporations behave as if profit were not a function of time.When Jerry Lambert scored his first breakthrough with Listerine, he speeded up the whole process of marketing by dividing time into months. Instead of locking himself into annual plans, Lambert reviewed his advertising and his profits every month.The result was that he made $25,000,000 in eight years, where it takes most people twelve times as long. In Jerry Lambert's day, the Lambert Pharmaceutical Company lived by the month, instead of by the year.(41:30) The Mind of Napoleon: A Selection of His Written and Spoken Words edited by J.

Read all the trade journals in the field. Read all the research reports and marketing plans that your agency has ever written on the product. Spend Saturday mornings in service stations, pumping gasoline and talking to motorists. Visit your client's refineries and research laboratories. Study the advertising of his competitors. At the end of your second year, you will know more about gasoline than your boss.Most of the young men in agencies are too lazy to do this kind of homework.

Key Takeaways Check out The Drive Episode Page & Show NotesRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.org View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter’s Weekly Newsletter Tommy Wood is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington, where he studies brain injury and how lifestyle choices and environmental factors contribute to brain health, cognitive function, and chronic disease.

Next, he explores the various theories on the different types of pathology in dementia and neurodegeneration. He makes the case that a large fraction of dementia is preventable through lifestyle choices and nutrient status, and provides an in-depth overview of interventions and supplements that support cognitive function. Finally, he provides a comprehensive overview of head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), discussing symptoms, how to mitigate damage following an incident, and long-term management.

Todd Goodwin — Hypnosis: Separating Myth From Reality (EP.163)
Infinite Loops
Key Takeaways Hypnosis has a way of effectively communicating with the self-conscious and is the most efficient way to upgrade the mental software that we all have The hypnotic state is a state of accelerated learning or relaxed focused attention where a person is more suggestible, which means it is easier for them to change the way they think or feel about something Hypnosis is not widely used due to misconceptions, lack of public awareness, and lack of consistent training standards It is more profitable to treat symptoms than to treat root causes; this creates perverse incentives for the healthcare industry The subconscious mind is more likely to absorb negative suggestions than positive suggestions Secondary gains can obstruct progress, meaning the person gets a benefit from having the problem so they subconsciously sabotage their efforts to resolve it One of the most effective ways to change the behavior is to change the way they think about it “World peace starts with inner peace. If you want to make the world a better place, you got to make yourself a better place.” – Todd Goodwin Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgTodd Goodwin is the founder of Goodwin Hypnosis, a hypnosis center based in North Carolina. He is a Board Certified Fellow of the National Guild of Hypnotists, a designation earned by only one in every 500 hypnotists.

Optimize Your Testosterone
Art of Manliness
Key Takeaways Low testosterone is often best treated if 1) you have symptoms and 2) have a testosterone level below 400Testosterone levels can vary depending on the quality of your recent sleep and diet Symptoms of low testosterone: depression, anxiety, low libido, erectile dysfunction, low sperm productionPeople who are significantly hypogonadal for a long time are at a much higher risk for osteoporosis, neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease, and others Metabolic syndrome is the most common cause of low testosteroneObstructive sleep apnea is the second most common cause of low TFor most men, an optimal testosterone number is between 500 and as high as you can go naturallyHow to improve T: get better and more sleep, improve your diet, manage stress, drink less alcohol, etc. Improving these behaviors will make you more insulin sensitive (which is a good thing) Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an option when the benefits of increasing T outweigh the risks of remaining at low levels of T, and when the patient understands the risks and the benefits of the therapySupplements mentioned by Dr. Kelly Gillett for testosterone optimization:Creatine,L-Carnitine, Calcium D-Glucarate, andTongkat Ali Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhen men think about optimizing their hormones, they tend only to think about raising their testosterone. But while increasing T can be important, an ideal health profile also means having testosterone that's in balance with your other hormones as well.Today on the show, Dr. Kyle Gillett joins me to discuss both of those prongs of all-around hormone optimization. We start with a quick overview of the different hormones that affect male health. We then get into what qualifies as low testosterone and how to accurately test yours. We also discuss what causes low testosterone in individual men, and how its decline in the general male population may be linked to both birth control and the world wars. In the second half of our conversation, we discuss how to both raise testosterone and get rid of excess estrogen, including the use of some effective supplements you may never have heard of. We then get into the risks and benefits of taking TRT, before ending our discussion with what young men can do to prepare for a lifetime of optimal T and hormonal health.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM series on testosterone, including How I Doubled My Testosterone Levels NaturallyAoM Podcast #761: How Testosterone Makes Men, MenAoM Podcast #878: The Fitness Supplements That Actually Work Connect With Dr. Kyle GillettKyle on IGGillett Health Podcast on Spotify and AppleGillett Health on YouTubeGillett Health website

Over the last century, accompanying the transformation of our energy systems, our food and consumption patterns have been massively transformed. One of the biggest areas of change is the dramatic increase in sugar consumption. But are our bodies adapted to eating such high sugar, processed foods? What are the health effects connected to this way of eating? And, writ large, how does our metabolic dysfunction as individuals contribute to the energy hungry global Superorganism? What are the systemic drivers that currently prevent a shift towards healthier food systems? Can changing how we eat make us healthier - and thus better equipped to face the complex challenges of the metacrisis? About Robert Lustig: Robert H. Lustig, M.D., M.S.L. is Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, and Member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He is one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry.

It is from the past that he will draw his lessons in order to shape the present.[5:15] Destiny must be fulfilled. That is my chief doctrine.[6:05] Napoleon: A Concise Biography by David Bell (Founders #294)[9:25] To aim at world empire seemed to Napoleon a most natural thing.[10:00] To have lived without glory, without leaving a trace of one's existence, is not to have lived at all.[10:55] The greatest improvisation of the human mind is that which gives existence to the nonexistent.[11:45] The best way to understand a person is to listen to that person directly. — Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words (Founders #299)[12:55] The great majority of men attend to what is necessary only when they feel a need for it—the precise time when it is too late.[16:10] The worst way to live according to Napoleon:When on rising from sleep a man does not know what to do with himself and drags his tedious existence from place to place; when, scanning his future, he sees nothing but dreadful monotony, one day resembling the next; when he asks himself, "Why do I exist?”—then, in my opinion, he is the most wretched of all.[17:45] Instead his (Steve Jobs) ego needs and personal drives led him to seek fulfillment by creating a legacy that would awe people. A dual legacy, actually: building innovative products and building a lasting company. He wanted to be in the pantheon with, indeed a notch above, people like Edwin Land, Bill Hewlett, and David Packard. — Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography by Walter Isaacson. (Founders #214)[19:15] He must know himself. Until then, all endeavors are in vain, all schemes collapse.[20:15] Napoleon on George Washington: Britain refused to acknowledge either him or the independence of his country; but his success obliged them to change their minds and acknowledge both. It is success which makes the great man.[21:15] Washington saw the conflict as a struggle for power in which the colonists, if victorious, destroyed British pretentions of superiority and won control over half of a continent. — Franklin & Washington: The Founding Partnershipby Edward Larson. (Founders #251)[23:15] If you do everything you will win: All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity; the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.[23:45] Warren Buffett: We are individually opportunity driven. — All I Want To Know Is Where I'm Going To Die So I'll Never Go There: Buffett & Munger – A Study in Simplicity and Uncommon, Common Sense by Peter Bevelin. (Founders #286)[24:15] Imagination rules the world.[25:00] Ambition is a violent and unthinking fever that ceases only when life ceases.[34:52] The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.[35:30] Roots of Strategy: Book 1[38:45] Robert Caro profiled two men who seeds were not high (in a tournament) they were without many advantages. And to get all the way to the top you probably had to sacrifice everything to the effort. The meta lesson is if you are not willing to pay that price presume someone else will.If you want something like the presidency (or being a billionaire) you should presume there is someone out there who will devote all their time, money, relationships, sense of ethics, everything in sacrifice of that one goal. Of course that person would win that race. — Invest Like The Best Sam Hinkie Find Your People [40:45] I do not want be roadkill on the modern-day Napoleon's path to glory.[43:15] The ancients had a great advantage over us in that their armies were not trailed by a second army of pen pushers.[44:05] A wasted life should be your greatest fear.[46:30] Make use of every possible opportunity of increasing your chances of victory.[48:55] Paul Graham on Be Hard to Kill:The way to make a startup recession-proof is to do exactly what you should do anyway: run it as cheaply as possible.For years I've been telling founders that the surest route to success is to be the cockroaches of the corporate world. The immediate cause of death in a startup is always running out of money.

Selects: How Manhunts Work
Stuff You Should Know✓Claim
Key Takeaways While every manhunt is unique, there are some principles that hold true for all manhunts Law enforcement typically gets the public involved as soon as possible Generally, authorities will establish a containment zone, then conduct a door-to-door search, then shut down public forms of transportation, schools, businesses, etc. The man who killed Martin Luther King Jr. was an escapee from a Missouri prison; following the assassination, he made his way to Canada using a forged passport, then to Portugal, and eventually to the UK where he was finally apprehended Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, was on the run for 18 years before his brother identified his writing style in his manifesto and alerted the authorities Whitey Bulger was on the run for 16 years before a woman working at a hair salon recognized his girlfriend from an FBI-sponsored commercial and tipped off the police There are many loopholes that law enforcement can use during manhunts Crowd-sourced manhunts are becoming increasingly popular given the rise of social media and the online types obsessed with true crime Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhen a suspect or prisoner goes on the lam there are plenty of ways to hide: in plain sight, in the mountains, in another country. There are as many types of ways law enforcement uses to track wanted people as their are ways to go on the lam, but there are some founding principles to carrying out a successful manhunt and they actually include you. Learn about how the fuzz tracks down fugitives and how it's evolving in the age of social media in this classic episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Key Takeaways You do not get to the top of your profession without studying the greats that came before you Tiger hit his first golf ball when he was 11 months old, and by the age of two he would spend several hours each day hitting golf balls Tiger was unusually disciplined as a five-year-old, was a gifted student, and seldom spoke Earl Woods had a “messiah-like” vision for his son At the age of 12, Earl Woods put his son through what he called “Woods Finishing School,” which included psychological warfare and prisoner-of-war techniques that he once taught to soldiers in Vietnam “Practice, practice, practice” was how Tiger got so good at golf It is hard to compete against someone who is obsessed and willing to do more work than anyone else “I want to be the Michael Jordan of golf. I want to be the best ever.” – Tiger Woods Tiger never rested after a win; the joy he felt from winning tournaments was always fleetingWoods kept score; trophies symbolized wins, and wins denoted dominance Tiger was obsessed with privacy and loyalty; he owned two private yachts, one named “Privacy” and another “Solitude” The breakdown of Tiger’s body was accelerated by his extreme exercise regime and his fascination with Navy SEAL trainingTiger’s greatest strength – his high tolerance for pain – may have also been his greatest weakness “The problem isn’t getting rich. It is staying sane.” – Charlie Munger Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhat I learned from reading Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian.----This episode is brought to you by Tiny: Tiny is the easiest way to sell your business.

Martin Shkreli Reveals How He Made His First $100M
My First Million
Key Takeaways Martin Shkreli worked for Jim Cramer’s hedge fund when he was in high school Martin became a millionaire at the age of 29 when he took his pharma company public “PubMed is the government database of all scholastic biomedical literature – so 36 million papers. If you sit there long enough and you have the passion, you can become a billionaire.” – Martin Shkreli It is not a crime to choose the price of your product He was bothered by the politicians trying to take the right away from entrepreneurs to set the price of their products, what he calls “regulation by embarrassment” If the regulators can tell Martin Shkreli what the price of his product should be, what is stopping them from setting the price of the iPhone? How much should a drug cost if it prevents the need for getting a $1 million surgery?After raising the price of the drug, there were zero patients that were unable to get the drug He hoped his casualness would encourage them to do some research and find out that no one (other than the insurance companies) were affected by the price increase Modern CEOs are not allowed to have a real personality: no one in the corporate world is allowed to have an opinion because it might be held against them or their companyMagic happens when you provide capital to great people with great assetsHealthcare is more expensive than we’d like mostly because of the artificially constrained supply of healthcare professionals, according to Martin Shkreli Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgEpisode 445: Shaan Puri (@ShaanVP) and Sam Parr (@TheSamParr) talk with Martin Shkreli (@marty_catboy), aka "the most hated man in America", about how he got started in pharma, his logic behind raising the price of Daraprim, why he spent time in prison, and what business he's starting now.

That is how I make a living and they are what have made my name at least familiar in a million homes.[11:00] Isambard Kingdom Brunel: The Definitive Biography of The Engineer, Visionary, and Great Briton by L.T.C. Rolt. (Founders #201)[13:10] After the idea there is plenty of time to learn the technology. My first cyclonic vacuum cleaner was built out of cereal packets and masking tape long before I understood how it worked.[14:15] Difference for the sake of it. In everything. Because it must be better. From the moment the idea strikes, to the running of the business. Difference, and retention of total control.[18:00] I would not be dragged into something I didn't want to do.[22:40] They were all running round and round the track like a herd of sheep and not getting any quicker. Difference itself was making me come in first.[23:34] As I grew more and more neurotic about being caught from behind I trained harder to stay in front. To this day it is the fear of failure, more than anything else, which makes me keep working at success.[27:20] Isambard Kingdom Brunel was unable to think small, and nothing was a barrier to him. The mere fact that something had never been one before presented, to Brunel, no suggestion that the doing of it was impossible.He was fired by an inner strength and self-belief almost impossible to imagine in this feckless age.While I could never lay claim to the genius of a man like that —I have tried to be as confident in my vision as he was.And at times in my life when I have encountered difficulty and self-doubt I have looked to his example to fire me on.[30:33] The vision of a single man pursued with dogged determination that was nothing less than obsession.[36:30] The root principle was to do things your way. It didn't matter how other people did it.[41:38] You simply cannot mix your messages when selling something new. A consumer can barely handle one great new idea, let alone two, or even several.[49:30] A direct relationship with the customer is the holy grail. Do not abandon it.[52:00] One of the strains of this book is about control. If you have the intimate knowledge of a product that comes with dreaming it up and then designing it, I have been trying to say, then you will be the better able to sell it and then, reciprocally, to go back to it and improve it. From there you are in the best possible position to convince others of its greatness and to inspire others to give their very best efforts to developing it, and to remain true to it, and to see it through all the way to its optimum point. To total fruition, if you like.[1:02:20] Before I went into production with the dual cyclone I had built 5,127 prototypes.[1:02:30] There is no such thing as a quantum leap. There is only dogged persistence – and in the end you make it look like a quantum leap.[1:03:30] While it is easy, of course, for me to celebrate my doggedness now and say that it is all you need to succeed, the truth is that it demoralized me terribly. I would crawl into the house every night covered in dust after a long day, exhausted and depressed because that day's cyclone had not worked. There were times when I thought it would never work, that I would keep on making cyclone after cyclone, never going forwards, never going backwards, until I died.[1:06:20] I was broke, hungry and depressed. The outlook was very dreary. My doggedness and self-belief in the absence of any real evidence that they were justified was beginning to look more and more like insanity.[1:10:30] Persistent trial and error allows them to wake up one morning after many, many mornings with a world beating product.[1:13:15] I began to consider forgetting the whole thing and doing something else with my life.[1:16:00] The poor buggers were so wrong, to think that designers knew nothing about business, or about marketing, or is about selling. It is the people who make the things that understand them, and understand what the public wants.[1:21:30] Go further. There is nothing wrong with making the consumer laugh. Conventional looks do not make a product more marketable.Subscribe to listen to Founders Premium — Subscribers can ask me questions directly and listen to Ask Me Anything (AMA) episodes.----Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book----I use Readwise to organize and remember everything I read.

Key Takeaways People feel uncomfortable attending money-related events because it makes them feel bad about themselves.Do not to try to pick individual stocks but rather invest in a target date fund or index fund. “You’re never going to pick the next Amazon.
