This weekend I watched this cool fireside chat between Jeff Bezos and his brother. Watch it in one sitting rather than in pieces.
Daily, before I leave my bedroom for the day I stare at this post-it note that says "legacy is built daily". It is a powerful reminder.
It goes well with "Bezos Day 1 policy", or the discipline that I see Sequoia Capital insert in their companies, with their anti-shortcuts approach, mixed with daily paranoia, Grove style.
It reminded me of the importance of family and world exploration.
It made me think that I need to venture out a bit more and not stare at my phone so much.
I doubt that Bezos would have quit his Wall Street job if he didn't have such stellar grandparents that taught him grit from a young age.
Nobody becomes this wealthy and powerful by accident.
Also, I love his approach to dating.
"I want a woman that can break me out of a third world prison."
Same.
We successfully held our first meetup of my newsletter subscribers, with over 40 attendees. Thank you for coming and spending time together.
In this episode, I had the honor of talking to Jeff Williams, SVP, Industry Solutions & Strategy at Altvia. You can listen to it on Spotify, and other apps.
Understand that you need to rise to the same level of your potential and, sometimes, that isn’t an easy road. Growth only comes with pain and suffering.
