1/ A couple years ago, I posted a thread with some of the important business-centric lessons I’ve learned and would teach my younger self. This is an extension of that thread.
2/ Learn to win games, then turn real-life problems into games and solve them the same way. The lessons you learn to win at chess or poker or any strategic game are applicable to other areas of life.
3/ A fundamental part of winning games is thinking in terms of expected value. You don’t need to be a mathematician, but you do need to be able to think in a way that at least roughly assesses various outcomes, their odds of occurring, and the payoffs.

Finally finished the @naval podcast with @joerogan – so uniquely insightful with a ridiculous amount of actionable advice. Here are some of my favorite quotes. podcasts.joerogan.net/podcasts/naval…
“When you combine things you’re not supposed to combine, people get interested. At some level, all humans are broad and multivariate. Specialization is for insects.”
“When you look at the greatest artists and creators, they have an ability to start over. You have to be willing to be a fool and have that beginner’s mind.”

1/ I’ve worked with many smart people over the past couple years. I’ve learned so much from others and via trial-and-error. Here are some of the important lessons I'd tell my younger self—an extension of my post on counterintuitive business tips: jonathanbales.com/40-counterintu…
2/ Invest in yourself by reading, exercising, and sleeping well. Don’t eat healthy though; that shit sucks.
3/ If others don’t agree with you, there’s even more value in being right. Many times you’ll be wrong, but finding those situations in which you’re very confident but others disagree is where there’s the most opportunity.
