Today TK became inexplicably obsessed with me respecting his name (also he's getting a haircut for the first time in years so he's respecting his mane...ba-dum!)
We talk a little about PDP's and persistence without doing stuff you hate, then we dive into tons of great questions from: Eric Olson, Sigal Sharabani, Andrew Stover, Simon Fraser, Thomas Bogle, Michael Hogan, Julia Patterson, Jeff Till, Forrest Plaster, Gabe Mitchell, Philip Gross, and Kelly Hackman.
Some of the questions were:
Can you promote my book? (Yes! See below)
Can order exist without state monopolies, even when bad people want to do bad things?
The Terminator-like future of Praxis
How to get important people to do favors for you
Why is success specific but failure is universal? (or is it?)
Should you cut negative people out of your life? (Yes)
Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson duets
How to get off the conveyor belt
Hayek and the size and structure of companies
Is boredom good?
Is the German school system good?
Lessons from seeing life as a game
