What can hedgehogs and foxes teach us about startups, entrepreneurship, investing, and growth?

A lot.

THREAD: A mental model on vision, focus, and the journey from good to great:
Let's start at the beginning...

In the 8th century BC, a Greek poet named Archilochus penned a line that has stood the test of time.

"The fox knows many things; the hedgehog knows one big thing."

Its meaning has been eagerly debated by great writers and thinkers ever since. Image
In a literal sense, the fox has an array of tricks at her disposal, but is defeated by the hedgehog's singular, spiky defense.

In a figurative sense, Archilochus is highlighting the difference between those with singular vision and those with more scattered inspirations.

Razors are rules that simplify decisions.

THREAD: 20+ powerful razors (to help you cut through life’s noise):
The Steve Jobs Quality Razor

When building, take pride in carrying the quality all the way through.

Would you be proud for your work to be seen from every angle and perspective?

If not, keep working.
The ELI5 Razor

Complexity and jargon are often used to mask a lack of true understanding.

If you can’t explain it to a 5-year-old, you don’t really understand it.

If someone uses a lot of complexity and jargon to explain something to you, they probably don’t understand it.

From a young age, we are taught to view the world as black and white.

But many of life’s most important truths appear contradictory on the surface.

THREAD: 15 powerful paradoxes (on growth, business, careers, and life):
Sprezzatura (“Studied Carelessness”)

You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless.

Effortless, elegant performances are often the result of a large volume of effortful, gritty practice.

Simple is not simple.
Slow Down to Speed Up

Want to speed up? Try slowing down.

Slowing down gives you the time to be deliberate with your actions.

You can focus, gather energy, and deploy your resources more efficiently.

It allows you to focus on leverage and ROI.

Move slow to move fast.

“Meme stocks” like AMC and GameStop have captured the attention of the financial world.

But few understand what is actually driving these furious price rallies.

THREAD: The mechanics of a meme stock rally:
1/ First off, what is a meme stock?

There is no single definition, but meme stocks can be understood as stocks that experience rapid upward price movements as a result of collective social media evangelism.

The price movements are typically not related to business fundamentals.
2/ AMC and GameStop are the two most salient examples of meme stocks from recent memory.

Both experienced furious, Reddit-fueled rallies that left the financial establishment scratching their heads.

Heroes emerged, like fearless leader @TheRoaringKitty (who is not a cat!).
