Cracking the Code of Aging: Inside "Project Blueprint" | Bryan Johnson

Bryan Johnson has been many things in his life, but the founder of Braintree Venmo's current passion is being - in his parlance - a "Professional Rejuvenation Athlete". Over the past two years, Bryan developed Project Blueprint, a comprehensive health regimen designed to reverse the aging process and increase longevity. After struggling with unhealthy eating habits, Johnson "fired himself" and dedicated his time to researching and experimenting with different health and wellness techniques. He used data-driven approaches to optimize his diet, exercise, and other lifestyle habits, with the goal of improving his overall health and extending his lifespan.In his first year of following Project Blueprint, Johnson achieved remarkable results, reducing his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in just seven months. This amounts to an average age reversal of .73 years per month, a significant accomplishment in the field of anti-aging research.One of the unique aspects of Johnson's approach is his gamification of the age-reversal process. He created The Rejuvenation Olympics, an online leaderboard open to the public designed to motivate himself and others to stay on track with their age reversal goals and to have a public forum to share protocols and validated results for age rejuvenation. This approach helps turn the often daunting task of improving one's health into a fun and engaging game.Johnson also employs a problem-solving approach he calls Zeroth Principle Thinking, which involves breaking down complex problems into their most fundamental components and solving them systematically. This approach helped him create his Goal Alignment Problem, which involves aligning his daily actions and habits with his long-term health goals.One notable aspect of Project Blueprint is that it's available to anyone, free of charge. Johnson has made the information and tools he's developed publicly accessible, with the hope of helping as many people as possible achieve better health and a longer lifespan.Overall, Bryan Johnson's Project Blueprint represents an innovative and data-driven approach to health and longevity, with potential implications for the broader field of anti-aging research.------------What do YOU think of the show?

The Cure for America's Societal Problems | Tim Urban

In this episode of the James Altucher Show, James sits down with Tim Urban, author of the popular blog "Wait But Why" to discuss his latest book What's Our Problem? A Self-Help Book for Societies.Tim Urban is known for his ability to explain complex topics in a relatable way, and this interview is no exception. James and Tim explore a variety of societal issues, including the increasing polarization of American society in the past decade. They delve into the reasons behind this polarization, including the concept of societal echo chambers versus idea labs.One of the key insights that Tim shares from his book is that there are two games being played in the socio-political world. The first game, which Tim calls "Political Disney World", is the game that both the left and the right are playing with each other. In this game, each side views themselves as heroes and the opposition as villains, with no middle ground. The second game, which is the unspoken nuance that many individuals silently agree with but are scared to voice their opinions for fear of being expelled from their spoken tribe, is what Tim calls "Game 2".Tim emphasizes the need for players of "Game 2" on both sides of the political spectrum to push back against "Game 1" because the current state of affairs is actually harmful to effectively promoting the ideals of either in the present.James and Tim also touch upon the concept of an idea spectrum, which gravitates between thinking like a scientist on one pole, a sports fan in the middle, and a zealot at the other pole. They discuss how individuals can move away from a zealot mindset and towards a more scientific mindset, which involves seeking out new information and being open to changing one's beliefs based on that new information.Throughout the conversation, Tim shares practical solutions for creating a more cohesive and harmonious society, emphasizing the importance of empathy and communication in solving societal issues.Listen on for a fresh perspective on the challenges we face as a society and actionable solutions for creating a better future.

Banks, Crypto, China: Do We Need to Be Afraid? | Omid Malekan & Cal Fussman

The US financial system has been going through a period of uncertainty, with various factors contributing to this state of affairs. One major issue that has been in the news recently is the occurrence of bank runs and mid-size bank insolvencies. These events have caused concerns about the stability of the banking sector and the broader financial system.Another factor that has contributed to the current uncertainty is the massive fluctuation of cryptocurrencies. The prices of popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have seen significant fluctuations, with prices soaring to record highs at times and plummeting to new lows at others. This volatility has raised questions about the role of cryptocurrencies in the financial system and their potential impact on traditional banking and finance.In addition to these domestic issues, there is also growing concern about China's increasing influence as an international deal broker. As China's economy continues to grow and expand, it is seeking to play a greater role in global finance and trade. This has led to some anxiety about the future of US financial dominance and the potential for China to become a major player in the international financial system.To shed light on these issues, James and his guest, Cal Fussman, are joined by resident financial expert Omid Malekan. Together, they discuss the root causes of the current uncertainty, the issues that are worth worrying over, and what the future may hold for the American financial system. By examining these issues in depth, they hope to provide insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the US financial system in the years ahead.------------Read Omid's book: Re-Architecting Trust: The Curse of History and the Crypto Cure for Money, Markets, and Platforms------------What do YOU think of the show?

A Decade of Discovery: Reflecting on Ten Years of Podcasting with James and Jay

In this podcast episode, James talks to our producer Jay Yow about the show's first ten years, James' experience with interviewing before starting the podcast, and his podcast goals for the next decade. This conversation comes after James has conducted 1300 interviews over nearly a decade.James has a rich and varied background in media and entertainment, which has informed his approach to podcasting. Prior to launching his show, James worked at HBO, where he developed and produced the web series "3 AM." This project, which followed the lives of New York City night owls, was ahead of its time and was an early example of the kind of storytelling that would come to define podcasting.After leaving HBO, James went on to help other creators launch successful podcasts, including Tim Ferriss, whose show has become one of the most popular and influential podcasts in the world. James' experience with Ferriss helped inform the importance of having a strong point of view and being willing to take risks to create something truly unique.Throughout his career as a podcast host, James has had his share of fears and favorite moments. He admits that it can be nerve-wracking to interview high-profile guests or tackle sensitive topics, but he also finds great joy in the process of discovery and the opportunity to share fascinating stories with his audience. Some of his favorite moments as a host include the times when he has been surprised by the insights or perspectives of his guests, or when he has been able to cultivate friendships with his interviewees such as chess legend Garry Kasparov.Despite the challenges and uncertainties of the industry, James remains passionate about podcasting and is excited to see where the medium will go in the years to come. His experience and perspective have helped him to create a show that is both entertaining and insightful, and he continues to push himself to take risks and explore new avenues of storytelling.What do YOU think of the show?

Jordan B. Peterson | Exploring the Phenomenal Logical Landscape of Humanity

"You have the ideal life," I said. "You think about things. And people pay attention. And you get paid for it." I was talking to Jordan B. Peterson. His YouTube channel has tens of millions of views. He's a clinical psychologist, professor, and author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, and now a guest on this podcast.People stop him on the street. They say "Thank you." They say, "You've changed my life.""What did you say that helped their life?" I asked.But I already knew the answer...Because it's true for me too.He told them what they were ready to hear. That's it. And they acted. Sometimes people thank me. And I tell them "You did it." Then we take a picture and I feel happy.I asked Jordan about his "12 rules for life.""I tried to lay out the phenomenal logical landscape of humanity in this book," Jordan said.I interrupted."What's phenomenal logical?""It's life as experienced. Ya know, you think, 'What's reality?' Well, there's material reality, but that isn't the reality you live. You live a reality that's full of emotions and motivations and personal experiences. That's your reality."I stayed silent. I was collecting."But what's the structure of that reality? What's the fundamental structure of the human-lived reality?" he said. "Part of it is suffering because we're finite and limited. But it's suffering that's tainted with malevolence because some of that suffering is unnecessary. You cause it, society causes it. It doesn't have to happen. That's the world we live in. It's hard and it's cruel."Then he said, "You're stuck with that. That's the bottom line. So how are you going to deal with it?"I think that's the basis of how we live. The answer to that question "how are you going to deal with it?" With losing money, hating your job, getting fired. That's the act. The response is life.He gave me a lot of steps (for dealing with cruelty and suffering). I'll give you some in a minute. But you should also listen to him on the podcast because he gives so much more in that one hour than I could ever collect on this page.STEP 1 - Get in touch with your dissatisfaction.STEP 2 - Take stock of your life (what can you do differently? What are the small steps? Don't actually take them (yet). Just start by learning what you don't like and what you do like in your life right now). Do that for a week.Those steps continue. But he also said this:"You have to choose your pathway of suffering. That's one way of thinking about it. You can choose the suffering that's associated with deceit, arrogance, resentment, bitterness or you can choose the suffering that's associated with truth. The suffering that's associated with truth transcends. It starts to make things better. Deceit makes life worse. And truth makes it better. "I needed examples-dozens of them.I just kept throwing life problems at Jordan to see what he'd say. He told me how he solves conflicts with his wife. And how he managed his depression. He told me his thoughts on "the grind of life."Because it's every day. And it's hard.But there are things we can do to make ourselves more okay with our chaos and the chatter between our ears. We can follow rules (like Jordan's) or make our own.I'm doing both.Links and Resources12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B.

Superpowered Aging with the Master of Flow | Steven Kotler

Steven Kotler believes that middle-aged adults are better learners than kids, and he has the Ivy League studies to back it up.In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kotler, the bestselling author of Gnar Country: Growing Ould, Staying Rad, and a true expert in the field of peak performance and human potential.In Gnar Country, Kotler explores the world of extreme sports and the science behind what drives these athletes to push themselves to their limits. But what's really interesting is how this knowledge can be applied to all of us, no matter our pursuits.During our conversation, Kotler introduced the concept of "dynamic deliberate play," which involves taking on new challenges and exploring the unknown with a sense of curiosity and creativity. He also talked about how this kind of play can lead to a state of "flow," which is when we're completely absorbed in the activity we're engaged in and time seems to fly by.Kotler also discussed the idea of "peak performance aging," which is the notion that we can continue to improve and achieve our goals well into our later years. He shared the latest research on how our brains and bodies age, and how we can use this knowledge to stay healthy, happy, and productive as we get older. Kotler's compiled research suggests that 'cognitive superpowers' exist which aren't neurologically available to younger humans, but there are four conditions required in order to tap into those abilities:By age 30: Solve the crisis of identity.Be age 40: Create a tight-knit match between your identity and your principal activity.By age 50: Exhibit forgiveness and empathy for yourself and others.In your 50s: Regularly engage in challenging and creative activities.We covered a lot of ground in this interview, from the science of flow to the keys to achieving your goals, and everything in between. So, whether you're an athlete, a professional, or just someone who wants to live your best life, you won't want to miss this conversation with Steven Kotler.

The Making of a Legend: How a Criminal Became a Champion | Frank Shamrock

Frank Shamrock calls himself "The First Super Athlete" in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Some might say that Frank lacks humility, but he was the first UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and retired undefeated from the organization. He revolutionized MMA and went deeper than anyone else, studying the body and optimizing his performance. While others focused on technical fighting, Frank dug into the biomechanics and truly became a force to be reckoned with.But get this, Frank didn't start off as a fighter. Actually, he found MMA while he was in jail at the tender age of 11. Frank had left his abusive home and turned to crime as a way to protect himself and get out of his situation. Sad, but true.Fast forward a bit, and Frank is in prison at 17 for 3 and a half years. That's when he had his big "aha" moment. He realized that he had ruined his life with 20 felonies, no education, and a baby to support.Frank understood that he had hit rock bottom, but he wasn't going to let that hold him back. He learned that changing his mindset and taking action was the first step to rebuilding his life. Now, Frank is an inspiration to all of us.A former criminal who became a champion, Frank Shamrock's journey and lessons can inspire anyone, whether they're fighters or not. It's all about having the right mindset and taking action to overcome any obstacle.Links and Resources:Follow Frank on TwitterCheck out Frank's WebsiteAlso Mentioned:"Bound by Blood" DocumentaryEgo is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Everyone is Lying About the Economy! | James on The Undefeated Marketing Podcast

Everybody is lying about the economy and I can't stand it anymore. Listen as I break down what people are misrepresenting, what is actually going on, and how I'm personally investing during this time.One stock that I own a good amount of is Wrap Technologies, which I've owned for years (as a co-founder). I plan on owning it for hopefully 10 more years, so I don't care if people will buy it or not. Here's why I'm talking about this: I don't particularly care about what happens in the economy when I plan my investments. When I invest, I'm long-term and I'm looking for "moonshots" - exponentially growing industries that have the potential to take $1 and turn it into $100s.This interview originally appeared on Phil Stutts' Undefeated Marketing Podcast.

Sara Blakely | From Footless Tights to Forbes

Sara Blakely is a self-made billionaire. She's the founder and creator of Spanx. I interviewed her in January 2017 - over 800 episodes ago! - but all of her advice (learned directly from DOING) is still impacting me today. I had to re-listen. And I hope you do too...Some people are inspirations for life. Sara is one of those people.Sara Blakely is weird. I wish I could think the way she does. I want to be weird like her."I look at any object and try to think of any use it has other than what people had planned for it."And then she acts on it. She sees a pair of pantyhose, cuts off the feet (why not?), and creates a multi-billion dollar company, Spanx.She sees her 9-month pregnant belly and paints a basketball on it. And then inspires hundreds of other women to do the same. Creates a book out of it, The Belly Art Project, and donates the proceeds to charity."All my life I was taught how to deal with failure," she told me. "My dad would ask us at the dinner table every night: how did you fail today?" HOW DID YOU FAIL TODAY?She got comfortable with failure at an age when every other kid wants to get an A+ at everything.She got comfortable embarrassing herself. For two years she tried to be a standup comedian. "I wasn't very good at it." Practice embarrassing yourself...Ready. Fire. Aim.She got a huge order from Nieman Marcus even though she didn't have the inventory or the production ready.She said, "YES!". Then she figured out how to get the order filled.Oprah listed Spanx as one of her "favorite things" of 2000. Oprah wanted to film her office. Sara had no office.She said, "YES!". Then she got an office and filled it up with people.Say YES! Then make things happen. Don't argue yourself into failure.Excuses are easy. Saying "yes" and then executing is hard. Get your thinking time."It takes me five minutes to drive to work," she told me. "But I take 45 minutes. I use that time to think."It's important to think. To be creative every day.This is how she comes up with non-stop ideas to expand her brand, expand her products, and work on other projects.I suspect this is the secret to how she always sees things differently. Being creative is a practice. It's not lightning from above.It's taking the long route when you could've taken the short route. Purpose = Infectious salesmanship.While I was talking to Sara she used the word "empower" several times.Spanx clothes give women more confidence. Empowers women. The Belly Art Project empowers pregnant women.It seems like there are three parts to a project that leads to mastering salesmanship.The higher purpose for it. This gets people excited.The actual product and its benefits.ExecutionCombine all three and people will get infected with your passion for your ideas. Sara was unstoppable. Don't volley.Don't engage with the people who want to argue with you. That's time wasted when you can be creative. Don't invite ego in the door.Once you've worked on your project, have passion for it, and started it, be willing to take suggestions and listen to people.Ego can kill a project and close the door on good opportunities. Be aware of your mortality.Sara was selling fax machines for five years before fully launching Spanx.She could still be selling them if she never started.If she listened to all the people who tried to dissuade her.If she became afraid of the multi-billion dollar companies that could have easily squashed her. Except they didn't. She was one person and they were billions. But they lost.We are here only this precious small amount of time. Make every moment a work of art. Make every moment move you one step forward toward your dream and purpose.Invent a new undergarment even if you have never made clothes in your life.Get 100s of women to paint their pregnant bellies and then raise money for charity with the idea."EVERYTHING IS A CANVAS," she told me.Which makes everyone a potential artist....

The Secrets of Negotiation from the FBI Top Negotiator | Chris Voss

"Terrorists have moms," he said.Jeffrey Schilling was kidnapped in the Philippines and held hostage for 7 and a half months. The terrorists said they were torturing him.But Chris Voss didn't fall for it.Chris is a former FBI hostage negotiator and the author of Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It."Find a way to mention his mother's concern for him," Chris' boss said."I remember thinking, 'That's the dumbest idea I ever heard. A terrorist is going to care about this guys mother?'""But my boss had great insight. And I didn't see any downside to it. So in the middle of the negotiation I said, 'Ya know Jeff's mom is really worried about him.'""What happened next?" I asked."This murderous, sociopathic terrorist said, 'His mother knows about this? You tell his mother he's OK.'"Months later, Jeffrey came home.Some hostage negotiation tactics won't work in business or with your wife.But these 5 tactics will...1. Use the "hand-cuff method":Use this line when someone yells at you: "I can't hear you when you're yelling at me."The logic is simple. People yell when they want you to listen.But if you eliminate their reward (being heard), then they have to comply. And you'll never get yelled at again. 2. Push past threats:"People who make threats always leave themselves an out," Chris said.But the truth is they need you. If you're not talking, there's no deal. They could lose out on a sale, a new employee, or millions of dollars."The point of a negotiation is to find out how much money is on the table," Chris said. "You have to push the other side as far as they'll go... without insulting them." 3. Gain the upper hand 100% of the time:"You can gain the upper hand by giving respect first," Chris said.Which a lot of people are afraid to do..."But that's exactly why you gain the upper hand," Chris said. 4. Become less busy:Rest is the new hustle."Anytime you slow down to do things more deliberately, you save time." Chris calls this, "The delay that saves time." 5. Show fearlessnessFear can be useful. But not in a negotiation. "Showing fearlessness is a great way to inspire confidence in you from the other side," Chris said.Forget what you have to lose. And focus on the reward.I can't afford to lose all my money again. So if you're on this list... don't listen to this interview:A) You're related to meB) You work with meC) You want to sell me somethingEverybody else is welcome.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

The Secret World of Illicit Finance | Raymond Baker, Author of 'Invisible Trillions'

Today, we're joined by the one and only Raymond Baker, author of the eye-opening book Invisible Trillions: How Financial Secrecy is in periling Capitalism and Democracy, and the Way to Renew our Broken System. That's a lot in the subtitle, but it's also a massive topic that's often swept under the rug because - as Raymond details - essentially every large corporation engages in the tax-dodging practices he details in depth in today's conversation. Raymond talks about the interweaving between capitalism and democracy, whether it's a good thing across the world, and the international ramifications. The examples Raymond provides in the book and in the actual experiences and situations he recounts on today's episode are very serious, and it really does involve trillions of dollars. You won't want to miss this fascinating conversation filled with surprising revelations and thought-provoking insights.

Inside the Mind of a Cybercriminal: The Original Internet Godfather Shares His Story | Brett Johnson

Brett Johnson committed tax fraud and credit card fraud from a desk inside the FBI offices for almost a year before going on a cross-country crime spree, stealing $600,000 in four months, making the US Most Wanted list, going to Disney World, getting sent to prison AND THEN ESCAPING! But let's back up...In today's episode of The James Altucher Show, we sit down with Brett Johnson, a man who has lived a double life. Once the leader of ShadowCrew & Counterfeit Library - precursors to the modern dark web - he's now a sought-after cybersecurity expert and consultant, using his insider knowledge of the criminal underworld to help organizations defend themselves against cyber threats.Brett takes us on a wild ride through his upbringing at the hands of manipulative criminal parents, his rise through the burgeoning world of cybercrime and social engineering beginning with mid-'90s eBay fraud, and how his yearning for love and acceptance concluded with his arrest by federal law enforcement.Instead of continuing down the path of criminal activity, Brett has found a way to use his expertise to make the digital world a safer place for all of us. Redemption is possible. No matter what mistakes you've made in the past, it's never too late to turn your life around and use your skills for good.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

He Was So Fed up with Traffic, He Redrew the Map (Literally!) | Uri Levine

Uri Levine was frustrated by traffic jams on his commute and found validation that the problem was widespread. His solution was to co-found Waze, the crowd-sourced GPS navigation platform which became a major competitor to Google Maps before being acquired by Google for $1.4 billion.But Uri's new book, Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution: A Handbook for Entrepreneurs is not the story of Waze. It's not one story about entrepreneurship. It's completely an A-to-Z handbook for entrepreneurs with so many specific sections, like:How to do a demo,How to build a slide deckHow to make an effective presentationHow do you evaluate a term sheet?What metrics do you use to measure the growth of your company?How do you manage investors, fire people, and hire people?What deal terms need to be negotiated for the exit?This is such a valuable guide, it really is, and today's conversation builds upon these principles. Listen on as Uri & James discuss all of these topics and more, including:Waze built its maps using user GPS data, why did the first 1000 users download Waze? (00:11:22)The 4 Stages of Users: Innovators -> Early Adopters -> Early Majority -> Late Majority (00:13:14)What percentage of successes are problem-based vs innovation-based? (00:15:46)How do you distinguish between your users and your customers? (00:16:50)Did Waze ever consider charging subscriptions to the users? (00:18:37)What metrics do you look at to see if a business is on the right path? (00:39:25)Did Waze ever consider licensing navigation data?

Steven Pressfield | Writing Lessons from the Master

Steven Pressfield's newest book, Govt Cheese a memoir, must jump to the top of your reading list. Both gut-wrenching and laugh-out-loud funny, his brutally honest story is a compelling page-turner. Steven's writing career spans many genres and formats, but it almost never materialized. From US Marine to advertising copywriter, schoolteacher, tractor-trailer driver, bartender, oilfield roustabout, mental hospital attendant, migrant fruit-picker, and hack screenwriter, his debut novel - The Legend of Bagger Vance - was 30 years in the making before it was published (later to become a major motion picture). Never content with one format, his non-fiction book The War of Art has now sold over a million copies globally & his historical fiction novel Gates of Fire is on the required reading list at West Point.James and Steven touch upon all manner of concepts & credos during today's conversation, among them:What role does advertising play in an author's toolkit? (00:06:10)After writing 3 unpublished novels and 9 failed screenplays, what kept Steven motivated? (00:15:17)Did Steven ever consider suicide? (00:16:43)What breakthrough made Steven's books "publishable"? (00:19:13)The 5 stages of creative development: Desire, Craft, Soft Skills, Finishing, and Killing the Ego (00:29:43)The importance of mentorship (00:31:43)What did Steven learn from re-writing a porn script?

This Author's Titles Are So Important, I Wrote an Entire Chapter About Them! | Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, joins The James Altucher Show to discuss technology and how different systems handle disorder. As humans evolve, technology is constantly being upgraded and replaced with new concepts and ideas. Today, we use technology in almost every aspect of our lives, but do we really understand the advantages and disadvantages of constantly being computerized?In Nassim's book The Black Swan, he highlighted for readers the unusual and unpredictable events that underlie almost everything about our world. Now with his book Antifragile, readers are presented with why we should embrace these uncertainties. The ideas and concepts that Nassim presents today for our listeners are beyond anything you have heard before. Nassim and James talk about several ways that disorder in your life will actually make you stronger. As Nassim tells James in the interview, "If you don't have variability in your life, you are not human." The key is to take these shocks and disruptions and become - as Nassim says - antifragile, making you stronger, more creative, and better able to adapt to each new challenge you face.Nothing is certain in this world; this episode will have you questioning everything you thought you knew.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Google Doesn't Care About Stories! | SmartBlogger's Jon Morrow

Jon Morrow might be the most successful copywriter on the web, and he's definitely the best indexed on the web. Jon (the owner of Smart Blogger) and James take today's 80 minutes to unravel the current market conditions for getting paid to write content, how to learn to do it, and how rapidly the market is going to shift over the next 5 years.In Jon's words, "The future of AI isn't to replace all writers, I think it's going to replace the word processor. Instead of going into Google Docs or Microsoft Word, you're going to go to an AI prompt and you're going to have a writing assistant who you will feed at your novel ideas and it will express them in super interesting ways that you can then choose from to publish on the web."The pair also discuss:Search-driven content vs. social media-driven contentWhat are content briefs and who are content strategists?Domain authority vs. topical authorityCopywriting vs. content writingAI-assisted SEO keyword generationHow to get paid to write from home with no prior experience!------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

How to Build the Future | Peter Thiel

"If you listen to only one podcast this year, this has to be the one." That's what James wrote after interviewing Peter Thiel in 2014 and, to begin 2023, we've remastered this classic episode for a new audience to experience. To one degree, this time-capsule episode immediately dates itself: Discussion about whether Uber can grow outside of San Francisco; Facebook was the most important social media company; talk of "new banking systems" doesn't revolve around cryptocurrencies and DFi. Make it past the surface, however, and this episode provides 75 minutes of thoughtful and robust discourse around the principles which have made billions and created billionaires.Among the many lessons in today's episode:Capitalism and competition are antonyms. A capitalist to someone who's in the business of accumulating capital. Great companies do something unique, and because of this unique thing they have monopoly-like pricing power and can create value for all consumers.A company should start when they have a technology that is 10 times better than its closest competitor."I've never seen anyone succeed with a pitch like "1% of China will buy our refrigerator" because there will be 99 other Chinese companies for the other 99% of China, and they will drive the marginal profits to zero."It's critical to find people with whom you're fundamentally aligned and on the same page when you're starting a business. It's better to have a long pre-history with your co-founder so you understand each other's strengths and weaknesses and can speak to one another honestly. You get maximal cooperation when people's roles are defined in very differentiated ways. As a founder or manager in an early-stage startup, you need to continuously readjust the org chart, continuously redefine people's roles, and make sure that the highs and lows are differentiated so that the lows don't blow up like they might in a primitive, archaic tribe.(**Check out this incredible write-up outlining the episode from one of our listeners!**)Click here to find Peter's 2014 book, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future ------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Winning the Horace Mann Medal | Dr. Brian Keating

Our conversations with astrophysicist Brian Keating Ph.D. are always wide-ranging, topical, and a little spicy (served with a side of bad puns). Today's conversation begins amidst the 5-week University of California Graduate Student Union strike, where Brian was unable to communicate with his graduate research assistants without a picket line being crossed. The discussion moves back to familiar territory from our prior encounters: imposter syndrome, winning and losing prestigious awards, and whether it's more charitable to donate anonymously or influence others to do so publicly.https://BrianKeating.com/listhttps://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!
