<p>What I learned from reading <a href="https://amzn.to/3KP40iD">Bloomberg by Michael Bloomberg</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>----</p><p><a href="https://www.foundersnotes.com/">Get access to the World’s Most Valuable Notebook for Founders by investing in a subscription to Founders Notes</a></p><p>----</p><p>[2:08] Answering to no one is the ultimate situation.</p><p>[3:02] <a href="https://twitter.com/NeckarValue/status/1277632097478488065?s=20">Twitter thread on Michael Bloomberg</a> by <a href="http://Neckar.Substack.com">Neckar.Substack.com</a></p><p>[5:28] We never made the error that so many others have: mistaking their product for the device that delivers it.</p><p>[6:27] We knew our core product was data and analytics.</p><p>[7:01] We were motivated by an idea that we could build something new that just might make a difference.</p><p>[9:04] <a href="https://amzn.to/3IDWUvk">Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story</a> by Arnold Schwarzenegger</p><p>[10:05] I was willing to do anything that they wanted. I would have never left voluntarily.</p><p>[16:00] Street smarts and common sense were better predictors of career achievements.</p><p>[17:40] Almost all occupations have a big selling component: selling your firm, your ideas and yourself.</p><p>[18:20] It is the doers, the lean and hungry ones, those with ambition in their eyes and fire in their bellies, who go the furthest and achieve the most.</p><p>[21:36] Comparing John to Bill on leadership, I always thought John was more egalitarian, but less effective.</p><p>[22:55] It was a lowly start. We slaved in our underwear and an un-air conditioned, a bank vault.</p><p>[23:57] <a href="https://amzn.to/3rRQO3G">The General and the Genius: Groves and Oppenheimer - The Unlikely Partnership that Built the Atom Bomb</a></p><p>[24:22] <a href="https://amzn.to/3Ghl3GF">Amp It Up: Leading for Hypergrowth by Raising Expectations, Increasing Urgency, and Elevating Intensity </a>by Frank Slootman</p><p>[27:20] David Geffen biography: <a href="https://amzn.to/3KMRBvj">The Operator: David Geffen Builds, Buys, and Sells the New Hollywood</a></p><p>[30:07] It's said that 80 percent of life is just showing up. I believe that. You can never have complete mastery over your existence. You can't choose the advantages you start out with, and you certainly can't pick your genetic intelligence level. But you can control how hard you work.&nbsp;</p><p>[31:20] Life, I've found, works the following way: Daily, you're presented with many small and surprising opportunities. Sometimes you seize one that takes you to the top. Most, though, if valuable at all, take you only a little way. To succeed, you must string together many small incremental advances-rather than count on hitting the lottery jackpot once. Trusting to great luck is a strategy not likely to work for most people. As a practical matter, constantly enhance your skills, put in as many hours as possible, and make tactical plans for the next few steps. Then, based on what actually occurs, look one more move ahead and adjust the plan. Take lots of chances, and make lots of individual, spur-of-the-moment decisions.</p><p>[32:12] Don't devise a Five-Year Plan or a Great Leap Forward. Central planning didn't work for Stalin or Mao, and it won't work for an entrepreneur either.</p><p>[34:16] I truly pity people who don't like their jobs. They struggle at work, so unhappily, for ultimately so much less success, and thus develop even more reason to hate their occupations. There's too much delightful stuff to do in this short lifetime not to love getting up on a weekday morning.</p><p>[38:48] Did I want to risk an embarrassing and costly failure? Absolutely. Happiness for me has always been the thrill of the unknown, trying something that everyone says can't be done, feeling that gnawing pit in my stomach that says danger ahead. I want action.</p><p>[40:28] <a href="https://amzn.to/3G5XVL4">Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman</a></p><p>[41:37] I rented a one room temporary office. It was about a hundred square feet of space with a view of an alley, a far cry from my previous place of employment. I deposited&nbsp; $300,000 of my Salomon Brothers windfall into a corporate checking account. And fifteen years later, I had a billion-dollar business.</p><p>[45:25] By endurance we conquer.</p><p>[46:50] <a href="https://amzn.to/3g2hLvW">Zero to One</a> by Peter Thiel</p><p>[47:14] <a href="https://amzn.to/3r1ZBRk">Made In Japan: Akio Morita and Sony</a> by Akio Morita</p><p>[51:19] <a href="https://amzn.to/33RViPK">The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness</a></p><p>[54:35] <a href="https://amzn.to/3ICEZoQ">Sid Meier's Memoir!: A Life in Computer Games</a></p><p>[58:30] Each news story is a product demo. More demos lead to more revenue. More revenue leads to more stories and then even more revenue.</p><p>[1:03:24] He's got a lot of these like roundabout ways to get in front of potential customers. He’s repurposing the information that his unique business collects.</p><p>[1:15:53] When it comes to competition, being one of the best is not good enough. Do you really want to plan for a future in which you might have to fight with somebody who is just as good as you are? I wouldn't. —Jeff Bezos</p><p>----</p><p><a href="https://www.foundersnotes.com/">Get access to the World’s Most Valuable Notebook for Founders by investing in a subscription to Founders Notes</a></p><p>----</p><p>“<i>I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

How to Optimize Fertility in Males & Females

How to Optimize Fertility in Males & Females

Huberman Lab

<p>I discuss the mechanisms by which human eggs and sperm are generated, the ovulatory/menstrual cycle, the conception process and overall fertility in males and females. I also explain how, regardless of whether you seek to conceive children, optimizing egg and sperm health is directly related to vitality and longevity. I cover nutritional, behavioral, supplemental, and medicinal approaches to optimizing egg and sperm health, the ovulatory/menstrual cycle and fertility. In addition, I explain lifestyle choices that greatly assist or harm fertility—several of which are very surprising. I provide science-based protocols for those trying to conceive children. The tools and principles I discuss can also improve overall vitality and longevity for everyone, regardless of age. </p><h2>Thank you to our sponsors</h2><p>AG1 (Athletic Greens): <a href="https://athleticgreens.com/huberman" rel="nofollow">https://athleticgreens.com/huberman</a></p><p>LMNT: <a href="https://drinklmnt.com/huberman" rel="nofollow">https://drinklmnt.com/huberman</a></p><p>Waking Up: <a href="https://www.wakingup.com/huberman" rel="nofollow">https://www.wakingup.com/huberman</a></p><p>Momentous: <a href="https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman" rel="nofollow">https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman</a></p><h2>Timestamps</h2><p>(00:00:00) Fertility, Vitality &amp; Longevity</p><p>(00:04:24) Sponsors: LMNT</p><p>(00:08:20) Eggs &amp; Sperm, Genes, Fertilization</p><p>(00:18:28) Puberty: Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH), Melatonin &amp; Leptin</p><p>(00:23:38) Onset Trends of Puberty, Odors Effects</p><p>(00:27:44) Female Puberty, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)</p><p>(00:31:46) Sponsor: AG1</p><p>(00:36:34) Ovulatory &amp; Menstrual Cycle</p><p>(00:40:36) Follicular Phase: Egg Maturation &amp; Ovulation, FSH &amp; Estrogen</p><p>(00:51:09) Luteal Phase: Progesterone &amp; Estrogen, Menstruation</p><p>(00:58:14) Ovulation &amp; Libido; Luteal Phase &amp; Malaise; Individual Variability</p><p>(01:04:18) Sex Chromosomes, Sperm</p><p>(01:11:40) Tool: Testicular Temperature &amp; Fertility</p><p>(01:17:22) Sperm Production, Seminal Fluid, Vasectomy</p><p>(01:24:07) Sperm Cells, Mitochondria &amp; Motility, Intercourse Frequency &amp; Fertilization</p><p>(01:28:31) Sperm Production, GnRH, FSH, LH &amp; Testosterone</p><p>(01:36:21) Ejaculate Quality, Sperm Counts, Fertilization, Ectopic Pregnancy</p><p>(01:44:14) Tool: Sexual Intercourse Frequency &amp; Fertilization</p><p>(01:53:24) Tools: Tracking Ovulation, Libido, Lubricants</p><p>(01:56:42) Fecundability: Egg Quality &amp; Woman’s Age, Cumulative Pregnancy Rate</p><p>(02:08:17) Miscarriages, Chromosomal Abnormalities</p><p>(02:11:23) Female Fertility: Age, Follicle Testing &amp; Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Testing</p><p>(02:18:51) Male Fertility: Sperm Analysis, Age</p><p>(02:24:52) Fertility &amp; Hormone Analysis, Age</p><p>(02:29:07) Fertility Effects of Sleep, Cortisol/Stress, Cannabis/Nicotine &amp; Alcohol</p><p>(02:42:40) Fertility, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), Viral Infection &amp; Cystic Fibrosis</p><p>(02:47:42) Tool: Testicular Temperature &amp; Fertility</p><p>(02:51:26) Tool: Phones &amp; Sperm Quality</p><p>(02:58:06) Deliberate Cold Exposure &amp; Fertility, Testicular Temperature, Cortisol/Stress</p><p>(03:05:43) Fertility, Exercise &amp; Mitochondrial Health; Intermittent Fasting</p><p>(03:14:46) Testosterone Replacement Therapy &amp; Sperm Production; Supplements</p><p>(03:20:36) Sex Determination in Offspring, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Sperm Fractions</p><p>(03:32:23) Postcoital Female Position &amp; Fertilization, Sperm Quality</p><p>(03:36:57) Cannabis &amp; Sperm Motility, Libido, Pregnancy</p><p>(03:42:33) Acupuncture, Fertility &amp; Pregnancy</p><p>(03:49:25) Fertility Supplements: L-Carnitine &amp; Allicin, Coenzyme Q10</p><p>(03:56:18) Fertility Supplements: Inositol, Omega 3 Fatty Acids</p><p>(04:02:50) Supplements for Hormones: Tongkat Ali, Shilajit, Zinc</p><p>(04:13:02) Fertility &amp; Prescription Medications</p><p>(04:16:44) Human Reproduction &amp; Fertility</p><p>(04:20:12) Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify &amp; Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Momentous, Social Media, Newsletter</p>

David Khourshid, CEO Stately.ai: How State Machines Create Robust Software

David Khourshid, CEO Stately.ai: How State Machines Create Robust Software

ConTejas Code

Links - Codecrafters (sponsor): https://tej.as/codecrafters - Stately: https://stately.ai - XState on GitHub: https://github.com/statelyai/xstate - David on X: https://x.com/davidkpiano - Tejas on X: https://x.com/tejaskumar_ Summary In this conversation, David Khourshid (CEO, Stately.ai) discusses XState, a state management library that uses state machines and the actor model to solve complex state management problems. He explains that state management is not a problem in itself, but it becomes complex when frameworks and libraries expect state updates in different ways. XState provides a simpler model for managing complex state by using state machines and transitions triggered by events. David also introduces the concept of state charts, which take state machines to the next level by allowing for hierarchy and orthogonality. XState provides tools for visualizing state machines and helps identify modeling issues early in the software development lifecycle. We continue to discuss the use of agents in observing environments and the potential for building practical applications using state machines. David shares his journey of founding Stately and productizing XState, highlighting the challenges and lessons he has learned as a first-time CEO. They also touch on the importance of making mistakes, transitioning to a paid model, and the future plans for Stately. Takeaways - State management becomes complex when frameworks and libraries expect state updates in different ways. - XState provides a simpler model for managing complex state by using state machines and transitions triggered by events. - State charts, a more advanced form of state machines, allow for hierarchy and orthogonality. - State machines are useful in AI programming and can be used to build agents that observe environments and take actions based on goals. - As a first-time CEO, it is important to make mistakes, learn from them, and be open to continuous learning and improvement. - Transitioning to a paid model can help focus on users who have real use cases and are willing to pay for advanced features.

How to Disrupt an Industry: Lessons from James Reinhart (ThredUp)

How to Disrupt an Industry: Lessons from James Reinhart (ThredUp)

The Eric Ries Show

In this episode of The Eric Ries Show, I talk with James Reinhart, founder of the second-hand resale platform ThredUp. A history major in college, James started his career as a teacher. That might not seem like it has much to do with fashion, but, as he explains, his early education and experiences actually led him not only to be a dual degree student at Harvard’s Business and Kennedy schools, but to a long-term view of ThredUp’s power to effect real change.  We get into the reasons why having a harder mission can be counterintuitively easier and why, as he says, “intrinsically good businesses are good for bottom lines and good for the world.” Not only did ThredUp generate 80 million dollars in revenue in the first quarter of 2024, but James has an uncanny track record of being able to accurately predict what’s going to happen ten years ahead.  Those details alone should be more than enough to pull you in, but they’re just a fraction of what we talked about. I hope you’ll enjoy this conversation with the founder whose mission is to inspire the world to think secondhand first.  • What it was like to be an entrepreneur at Harvard Business School before the days when everyone was doing it • How his education background fed into his business acumen • The value of investors who believe in you • The advantages of having a mission that all your stakeholders are passionate about • His experience going public and advice for founders • Why he built a company culture around humane principles based on employee feedback • The change he’s working towards and believes is possible • And so much more — Brought to you by: Mercury – The art of simplified finances.

Polaroid: The Genius of Edwin Land

Polaroid: The Genius of Edwin Land

Business Breakdowns

<p>Today we are breaking down Polaroid. For 30 years, Polaroid monopolized the instant photography industry, producing one Nobel-caliber breakthrough after another. As their products dazzled, sales grew from just under $1.5 million in 1948 to $1.4 billion in 1978. Today, the business is a shadow of its former self but the lessons from its history and especially from the founder endure. Edwin Land is not the most familiar name in business history, but he has had an outsized influence on the world in which we live. In particular, he was Steve Jobs’s hero. To break down Polaroid, I’m joined by <a href="https://twitter.com/founderspodcast">David Senra</a>, who studies history’s greatest entrepreneurs through his Founders podcast.

His First Company Went Public For $3.5 Billion, Now He’s Reversing Type 2 Diabetes For 100 Million

His First Company Went Public For $3.5 Billion, Now He’s Reversing Type 2 Diabetes For 100 Million

The Eric Ries Show

In this first episode of The Eric Ries Show, I sit down with serial entrepreneur and intrepid explorer, Sami Inkinen. Sami has co-founded two companies: Trulia and Virta Health.

Cognitive Task Analysis With Dick Clark

Cognitive Task Analysis With Dick Clark

The Learning & Development Podcast

Cognitive Task Analysis gets to the decision-making behind performance so that what is done by Subject Matter Experts can be accurately shared and then replicated. In this episode, Dick Clark shares insights and experience into what CTA is, why it is critical to successful L&D and how to get started.   KEY TAKEAWAYS CTA improves the interview strategies that designers use to discover from experts what trainees need to learn. A lot of what experts do (about 70%) is hidden because they have learned to do things automatically. CTA draws out the thought processes behind far more of the actions experts perform. CTA trained groups learn 43 to 45% more and do so in about 35% less time. CTA trainees also make only minor mistakes. The creation of CTA training takes more time. But, the positive results achieved quickly cover the time spent creating the training. There are 100 types of CTA. In the episode, Dick narrows that field down and explains the technique that has been proven to work best. Revising and critiquing the training using another expert greatly improves the overall result. The process of creating CTA training often identifies problems that organizations have learned to work around. Providing the opportunity to solve those problems and work more efficiently. CTA is flexible, it works for all types of work. Including, technical, management, leadership and many soft skills. Selecting the right experts is essential. Dick covers how to do this in significant detail including what they ask them. Often, the rigorous analysis stage of CTA uncovers opportunities to create simple job aids that greatly enhance performance. AI is set to replace many elements of the analysis and design processes. AI will greatly speed the entire training process up, which will generate a huge step change that will make TLDP an even more critical department. BEST MOMENTS 'As task analysis is now performed only about 70% of the decisions that experts make are being captured. ' 'In the surgical CTA study, we solved enormous problems that the surgeons didn´t know they had.' 'There are places where job aids are just as effective, and certainly more efficient, than training.' 'A lot of AI programmes are going to be developed that is going to replace analysis and design.
