Learning how to learn is an increasingly valuable skill in a world of content noise.
My process for learning any new topic:

1) Curation
2) Consumption
3) Reflection
4) Remixing
5) Creation
CURATION

If I want to learn about something new I will start by curating then best foundational content by experts I trust.

If it’s gaming, I’ll look to @ballmatthew and @blakeir

If it’s education, I’ll look to @wes_kao and @gaganbiyani

I may give off the vibe that I’m a really confident founder.

With some things, I am confident.

With other things, I am perpetually unconfident.

Here's an example of one and how I work through it...
I am habitually self-conscious about the way in which I work.

It's simple: my brain works differently than most people & I do work differently than most people.

For years, I have beat myself up because of it.
I have convinced myself that I am a bad worker.

In college, I told myself that I had to work twice as hard as others because I was 50% as efficient.

In business, I told myself that if only I worked like everyone else, I'd be that much more successful.

Dogecoin is up 12,025% year-to-date.

It's currently the 4th largest cryptocurrency in the world with a $78 billion market cap.

But few actually know the backstory on the meme-inspired coin that's had a record run.

Here's your history lesson....
It all started in 2013.

Jackson Palmer, a PM at Adobe, tweeted as a joke "Investing in dogecoin, pretty sure it's the next big thing."

At the same time, Billy Markus, a software Developer at IBM, had a similar idea.
Markus had been trying to create his own humorous crypto, called Bells, based on the video game "Animal Crossing."

The initial response to Bells was awful, but Markus still wanted to find a use for his code.

Enter Jackson Palmer & Dogecoin.

Networking needs a rebrand.

It's incredibly important, but how we think about it is so outdated.

I tried to reimagine networking in a post-COVID, digital age with 7 principles...
Principle 1: Depth of connection is most important

I have 79k connections on Linkedin.
I know roughly 1% of those connections.

I get & give no value to a network this large.

I would way rather 79 deep connections who I form meaningful bonds with.
Principle 2: Intrinsic value matters more long-term

Play the long game.
Resist the urge to connect bc of likes & social validation.

Connect because it makes you a better person.

Bc it makes you:

Think deeper and in different ways.
Feel deeper and gain a sense of self.

I used to hate myself for the way my brain worked.

- short attention span
- easily distracted
- "all over the place"

I've learned to love myself for the way my brain works.

- super creative
- outside-the-box thinker
- focused in short sprints
My hope for everyone is to understand the beauty of their brain.

Of course there are things we see in others that we desire for ourselves. Of course we can strengthen our weaknesses.

But we need to learn to respect our natural way of being & understand all of the benefits.
The grass is always greener on the other side, but you need to value the grass that you stand on.

Every upside has a downside. Every yin, a yang.

Love your brain for what makes it great & understand "weaknesses" are not weaknesses, but byproducts of our strengths.

depth of connection > # of connections

intrinsic value of connection > extrinsic value of connection

relatability of connection > proximity of connection
value of connection > identity of connection (@balajis)
psychological safety of connection > expertise of connection
