9 times out of 10 we all have a version of "obvious" that is different from others.
The conversation between @jackbutcher and @ShaanVP was full of gems
Here are 30+ key takeaways 👇
9 times out of 10 we all have a version of "obvious" that is different from others.
Content is the magnet.
- Are they a participant in a long-term game that has inherent trust? (like Silicon Valley)
- Do you know the person?
- Do you know another person who is investing?
Customers will be happy to pay.
In other words, what do successful people think about that the rest of us don't? And how can I share that?
It's easier to save money to start, but at some point there's nothing left to cut.
Focus on building the skill of making money than on reducing expenses.
He talks about topics that are interesting to him (or his previous self).
He wants to use money to buy time, and this was doing the opposite: sucking his time for some marginal money.
One thing this will do will break your scale. For example, @awilkinson made $200M on one investment this year.
- Move where they are (like SF)
- Host people—invite awesome people to be together and be in close proximity to them.
- What they're up to
- How they made things happen
- What they're investing in
- What they're doing or not doing
How do you maximize that return?
A: You need an accurate framework of where you are
B: You need your next step
Z: You need your end goal
Once you do B, you'll figure out the next thing.
- Learn and then package it and sell it
- Learn and then invest based on it
In other words, they don't believe that what they enjoy could be considered work.
You have to do what feels like play to you, but that others consider work.
The key was he brought an awesome energy and state and how he approached the questions.
These people change your frame of reference.
(@danielgross was one)
He's one of the best building and monetizing an audience right now.
They aren't great for developing the skills that will help you build your next company (like management and process).
There are lots of other people who win, but need the right context or timing.
@ShaanVP wants to be one of the people who can win in all contexts.
You always need to be in some sort of state: why not be confident, upbeat, and feeling good?
(inspired by @TheNotoriousMMA)
Radical self-reliance.
The greatest way to end the year:

Enjoying a conversation between @jackbutcher & @ShaanVP on @visualizevalue Office Hours.
They discussed the benefits of building an audience, how to think about money, and frameworks to do more.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
