Chase curiousity:

Chase curiousity.

Whatever you’re interested in, chase it.

Look for it.

Understand it.

Learn about it.

I don’t care if it’s unicorns, how people live to 100 or what black holes are.

It doesn’t matter.

The key is it matters to you.

Not anyone else.

It won’t scream at you.

Instead, it’ll be a tiny voice.

A tiny thing in your head that you can’t stop thinking about.

That one comment.

That one quote.

That one video.

It’ll spark an interest in something.

Follow that.

Follow your intuition.

See where it takes you.

Don’t give up too early.

Chase it for a little while.

A few weeks to months at least.

Don’t give up when it gets hard.

Because it will.

Curiousity doesn’t come without challenges.

Understanding those challenges is where you’ll make discoveries.

Bringing your experience and knowledge to that problem.

That’s where the real unlocks will happen in the future.

It will happen because people will spend time tinkering, learning, and playing.

With new concepts, ideas and ways to tackle a problem.

You may also see opportunities where no one else does.

That’s where innovation happens.

All greats steal from those before them.

Everyone.


We’re all descendants of those who came before us.

Understand them.

Learn about their stories.

Especially those in your field.

But don’t restrict yourself to just those people.

Look for ones in adjacent fields.

Then apply it to what you’re doing.

Listen to the Founder’s podcast.

Seriously.

As Naval said, give society what it wants but it doesn’t know what it needs.

Then do that at scale and you’ll win forever.

David Senra, the creator of Founders, has done that.

He loves reading, especially biographies.

He saw what was happening with podcasts and saw an opportunity where no one else did.

Learning insights from the greatest entrepreneurs in history and turning them into audio form.

He started years ago when no one was listening.

Now he has the ear of some of the biggest builders in the world.

I mean the guy had dinner with Charlie Munger and Sam Zell before they both died.

Most people never get those experiences.

Yet he did just by talking about ideas in books.

That’s my plan.

Become the largest independent media voice in the world.

Take all my writing and notes from my reading and turn them into audio and video.

900 blog posts to date.

Almost 300 books read.

1200 pieces of content created and shared since 2021.

Turn that into audio.

Turn that into videos.

Then scale it into other languages.

I love writing.

I love reading.

I love learning.

I love podcasts.

I love teaching.

Combine all of those and you have what I’ve done.

That’s the blueprint.

Now it’s just about execution.

I never thought I’d get here.

It only happened because I followed my curiousity.

Chase curiousity.
