🚨👋 Thrilled to announce a passion project I've been working on for a while. Here's "The Observer Effect" with our very first interview w/ the one and only Marc Andreessen.

With these series of interviews, I wanted to document/chronicle how interesting people worked. In this conversation, @pmarca covers a broad range of topics. Some highlights below.
For starters, he has totally changed his routine from the old "Pmarca guide to productivity"

How he approaches his personal goals and systems.
How to look at process, outcomes and bets.
His approach to reading and learning including *why* he does it.
His belief in technology as a positive force.
How the "build essay" came to be 'fueled by rage' and the follow up. (this conversation happened over a month ago when the essay had just been written).
There's lots more (including my tempting him to get back on Twitter, on how VC is nothing like gambling, approach to learning,...) so check out the entire interview. And subscribe by email to get notifications for future interviews. Also have a dedicated account @ObserverOrg.
Huge thanks to @pmarca and everyone else who helped make this happen. I got to record this over a month ago and then work with an amazing artist (Eleanor Taylor) to put this together.
And finally - this is the first in a series so expect more! The goal is to have an enduring archive documenting how people work in their own words. Send me thoughts and feedback here or by email or @ObserverOrg.
Fin.

For folks asking - this is text only, not audio. I'm very old school that way. 🙂
PS would (shamelessly) love any help in getting the word out. Thanks to the person who got this on HN. And invoking the tip @Techmeme powers-that-be here -> theobservereffect.org/marc.html
