We are exceptionally lucky to live during a time when the world’s smartest people can share their knowledge openly and honestly. These people put themselves out there as mentors, and I consider Chamath one of the greatest mentors on Youtube.
Last week he recently appeared on my Youtube feed. I had no idea who the man was, but the video was titled “Chamath Palihapitiya: Early days of Facebook, working for a 19 year old Zuckerberg”.
I found it fascinating. Not because it was ripe with business ideas and key insights that could help my startup. What stuck with me was…

But it also supplied me with the focus and clarity to win 2021
I remember distinctly how 2020 began for me.
I messaged a few friends, letting them know that “2020 would be the year of vision.” I knew it wasn’t clever, but I believed it. I spent the first several months of the year living that fantasy, absorbing myself in the near, brighter future I’d help shape. I mapped out my business plans, high on more than my own supply. I was going to find success, and through that success, change the world.
Fast forward to end of 2020…
How a little-known book predicted Covid-19, the coming chaos ahead, and the one path that will lead to success moving forward
When I was in college during the early 2000s one of my professors, Katherine Bennett, asked us to read a book called “The Fourth Turning”. The book was not written by Nostradamus, nor was it biblical in nature, but it was and remains prophetic. It is a book written through rigorous analysis of American and Western history, and the generations that lived through it. …
The importance of doing something you love, and how to find it if you’re not there yet
There are three things in life that’ll get you out of bed at 4:30 AM, after falling asleep just four hours earlier:
1) A crying baby
2) a life partner
3) work
The common theme that makes any of these three bearable — day in, day out - is love.
If you’re doing something you don’t love, your very existence becomes harder and harder to stand. …
The single most important lesson I learned from a decade of burning bridges and eating crow, and how I learned it
“I know you won’t care,” she told me, “but now I know why nobody likes you.” These were the parting words of one of my few friends in college, to whom I lost contact with, and to whom I am eternally grateful.
Those words marked a watershed moment for me, where the armor I wore to hide my depression broke, leaving me vulnerable and exposed. I didn’t change overnight, and after decades I still have a ways to go, but since that moment and moving forward I have worked on my personal concept of humility.
Working on humility has enabled…
