If you can just figure out how to stay high-energy, intellectually curious, mentally calm, and emotionally present around your kids, you are already doing much better than most parents.

This year, I wish you less — less information, less food, less entertainment, less communication, less stimulation. You already have too much of all that, and it stands in the way of your serenity, health, sleep, and creativity. Merry Christmas! ☦️

Mentally weak people are just people who had the privilege to have other people sort out their problems for way too long. It's impossible to not grow mentally stronger when you have to stand alone and take responsibility for where you are in life.

If you’re not making money, it’s because:
You don’t know how to solve a valuable problem.
Or
You can but no one knows about you.
That's it.

It’s hard to beat a man who feels he deserves nothing but is willing to endure anything.

Three non obvious things I look for with talent:
1) Did my life get easier/quieter since they came in?
2) Do they take things on without being asked?
3) Can they think past first order consequences?

It's amazing how much you can accomplish if you start without needing anyone else's opinion.

Nothing will drain more energy from you than insecure people with no clear goal.
They will see arrogance when you are just minding your own business.
They will come up with drama when you were actually trying to help them.
They will think that you are looking down on them when you were not thinking about them at all.
Be smart, hang out with confident people with clear goals, you will suddenly save so much time and energy.

In the Web 1.0 era, a question that followed most consumer internet companies was "What if Google does this?" Of course, in most areas the question was silly (bc: focus), but not in all areas. e.g., RIP Mapquest, Hotmail, etc.
Now the question is "What if OpenAI does this?"
The only truly valuable "vertical" area that won against Google was travel. It was enough of a considered purchase and specialized enough that it demanded a different UI (of course, eventually Google got into it, but it required a large acquisition).
OpenAI *needs* to go after some areas because they can't control what questions people ask, and they must feel a responsibility to handle those questions well. Health is a great example of this. And OpenAI has a huge advantage both bc they control the underlying model, and from a distribution perspective -- people are already there asking the questions. If you're a founder going after the same type of prompts, that is really tough to compete against.
Certainly a lot easier to do that in areas where you want a separate space / identity / experience, or where ChatGPT's interface underwhelms for the use case. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. In particular, Google struggled on new product execution and had to acquire companies that they could then superpower with its infrastructure and distribution. Will be interesting to see OpenAI flex their new products muscle over time....
💥 So excited to welcome Ashley Alexander to OpenAI to lead product for Health. Millions of people come to ChatGPT every day asking about health—theirs, their children's, a spouse, a friend. Having free, 24/7 access to great medical advice is game-changing even for those of us lucky to have access to medical care—let alone for the billions around the world that don't.

You are anxious because you take yourself too seriously; you are depressed because you don't take life seriously enough; you are happy when you take life seriously without taking yourself too seriously.

The wealthier you are, the easier it is to take calculated risks; yet, most people become more risk-averse, because a comfortable lifestyle dulls the mind, it numbs your courage, until one day, you wake up, and realize you achieved the most when you were young, ignorant, foolish.

Street interview ads are crushing on Meta.
It's one format that has almost spent the entire amount in the ad account.
So I've created a guide on how you can do the same:

You can outsource a lot of things with money, but too many wealthy people wrongly think they can outsource their role as a respectable parent, a respectable spouse, a respectable child, a respectable friend.
