Frameworks provide clarity in complex situations.

Here are 20 useful frameworks (on startups, investing, writing, & life):
The Feynman Technique

To learn anything:

Step 1: Identify a topic.
Step 2: Try to explain it to a 5-year-old.
Step 3: Study to fill in knowledge gaps.
Step 4: Organize, convey, and review.

True genius is the ability to simplify, not complicate.

Simple is beautiful.
Directional Arrow of Progress

"Study the undeniable arrows of progress." - @wolfejosh

The future is extremely difficult to predict—but there are clues.

Look at the trend line of progress and where it's pointing—directionally, not precisely.

Invest (or build) accordingly.

"Everyone is a genius in a bull market."

A breakdown on the dangerous Dunning-Kruger Effect:
In an era when the markets have minted many new self-proclaimed geniuses, the Dunning-Kruger Effect is more relevant than ever.

This thread provides a breakdown of the famed cognitive bias, where we see it most frequently, and a few strategies for avoiding it...
First, a few definitions.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a given task are prone to overestimate their ability at that task.

Put simply, humans are notoriously incapable of objective evaluation of their competency levels.

How to find (and operate in) your Zone of Genius:
A few weeks ago, I shared a thread—How to Win (without talent or luck)—that got a lot of attention.

One of the most popular insights I shared was the idea of operating in your Zone of Genius.

But I got a lot of questions about how to practically achieve that...
Your Zone of Genius is where your interests, passions and skills align.

Operating in it means you stop playing *their* games and start playing *yours*.

This thread shares my framework—built through personal struggle—for finding and operating in your Zone of Genius:

One cold email can change your life.

Here's how to write a great one:
I’ve sent (and received) a lot of cold emails—some great, some not.

What I've learned: a cold email success is never an accident.

The features of a great cold email:
• Short & Sweet
• Personalized
• Credentials or Social Proof
• Create Value
• Clear CTA

Let's cover each:
Short & Sweet

If you're sending a cold email to someone, remember that the person receiving it probably gets a lot of these.

They don't have time (or energy) to read through long and winding notes.

Keep it short and sweet.

Space out the text to make it optically inviting.
