Josh is a brilliant investor with an arsenal of fascinating mental models.
A few of my favorites:
• Don't be boring (2x)
• 100-0-100 investing strategy
• Chips on shoulders put chips in pockets
Mike is a savage but he's also incredibly wise.
Growing up, he studied all the great conquerors from Genghis Khan to Charlemagne. What did he learn from that? The hardest thing to conquer is yourself. A must-watch podcast for sure.
Bret discovered that tests on lab mice were flawed because of selected breeding and that basically all drug testing should be redone.
He should've won a Nobel Prize for that discovery but he got robbed.
Remember all those rumors about the CIA & FBI doing illegal experiments on people and trying to brainwash them?
Yeah so that's basically true and there's legitimate evidence to back it up. Guess some conspiracies are correct.
Jonny Kim is a modern-day renaissance man.
He served as a Navy SEAL with Jocko, went to Harvard Medical School, and now he's a NASA astronaut. He's a reminder that human potential know's no bounds. Get after it guys.
Goggins is truly one of the hardest men on the planet. A former Navy SEAL turned ultra-endurance athlete. If you want to get in shape or become mentally tougher, study him.
More of us should strive to be uncommon amongst uncommon people.
There's so much to learn from Jocko, I don't know where to begin.
From Exterme Ownership, to GOOD, to the truth about war being the best & worst experience, why you should stay humble, and more.
He's been a huge role model in my life.
The podcast that broke the internet.
We got to peek inside the mind of a genius, get updates on all the incredible companies he's working on, hear the pros and cons of being Elon, watch him smoke a blunt, and learn that love is the answer.
What more could you ask for than two of your favorite authors talking for 3.5 hours?
This podcast gets dark & deep, but they also share many of the reasons why life is worth living. My life changed forever after watching it.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

Ask: \u201cWhat needs to be true for you to be all in?\u201d
You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
