Quote: @Casey

“Ideas are cheap. Ideas are easy. Ideas are common. Everybody has ideas. Ideas are highly, highly overvalued. Execution is all that matters.”

Ideas are cheap, execution is expensive.

I love this decision-making “razor” from Julie. Tailor your decision-making process to the type of decision you are making.
Article: @eladgil x @patrickc

An in-depth interview with Patrick Collison on scaling company culture, handling naysayers, and driving sustainable growth.

A wide-ranging podcast that covers Jerry Seinfeld’s creative process, systems, and belief in the importance of failures. tim.blog/2020/12/08/jer…

Videos like this are why YouTube is disrupting traditional education. A marketing masterclass from one of the greatest of all time - for free.

I still get chills from the “Think Different” ad he unveils at the end of the video...

Lifelong learning is a competitive advantage.

But contrary to what you’ve been told, lifelong learners are built, not born.

THREAD: 20 lifelong learning habits you can start developing today.
Stimulate Dynamically

The mind is a muscle - it needs to be stimulated dynamically to continue to grow.

Don’t rely on one “exercise” - develop a menu of options.

Write, read, listen, watch. Solve puzzles, play games. Enjoy it!

Stimulate dynamically, learn dynamically.
Build Learning Circles

The most powerful learning is communal, not individual.

Build learning circles with other intellectually curious minds.

Engage regularly with no set intention or goal.

Community is everything. Embrace it.

The Bloomboard is live!

I’m excited to launch my job board, where I curate and share unique roles in finance and tech every week.

The goal? To promote access and spread awareness of amazing companies.

THREAD: Becoming a go-to place for candidates and high-growth companies...
1/ Yesterday's soft launch of the job board (at the end of my hiring process thread) was a crazy success.

1.5K+ unique viewers
950+ jobs clicked
150+ applications sent

in 24 hours!

but we are just getting started...

You can find The Bloomboard here: pallet.xyz/list/thebloomb…
2/ The Bloomboard will be curated by me personally, meaning it will only include companies and roles I would recommend to a friend.

Each week, I will share featured roles with my audience on Twitter and in my newsletter (which you can sign up for below). sahilbloom.substack.com

The hiring process is ultra-competitive.

But you’ve incorrectly been told that the only way to stand out is by having fancy degrees and credentials.

THREAD: 20 ways to stand out in a hiring process (that don’t involve your resume):
Do Your Research

Before an interview, spend a few hours researching the company and role.

At a minimum, learn the company mission, read up on recent news on the company or its market, and study the backgrounds of the key leaders.

Google is a powerful asset. Use it.
Embrace “I Don’t Know”

You can’t know the answer to every question.

And you know what? That’s ok!

Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know” - but then follow it with a plan to acquire that information.

“I don’t know, but I’ll dig in and follow up with an email.”

Then follow up!

Humans are astonishingly bad at setting goals.

We consistently establish targets that invite manipulation.

THREAD: A mental model on goal setting and unintended consequences:
Goodhart’s Law is a simple mental model:

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

If a measure of performance becomes a stated goal, humans tend to optimize for it, regardless of any associated consequences.

The measure loses its value as a measure!
Goodhart’s Law is named after British economist Charles Goodhart, who referenced the concept in a 1975 article on British monetary policy.

Goodhart wrote that, “Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes.”

The recruiting and hiring process needs a revamp.

Lack of transparency in the application process is a barrier to equal opportunity and access to unique, attractive jobs is uneven at best. The traditional “gatekeepers” are ripe for disruption.

We can do better...
In this vein, in the weeks to come, I am going to be launching a job board, where I will curate and share the most exciting new jobs in finance, media, and technology.

This job board will be free for all candidates, so anyone can browse and apply to these amazing opportunities.
I will be sharing featured roles every week via Twitter and my newsletter.

Companies will gain direct access to a unique, growing pool of talent and have their exciting new roles and brands highlighted to a large audience.
