The spiritual path, a thread:
The spiritual path is not for the faint of heart.

It is both the toughest of life’s paths and the most rewarding.

All journeys are unique.

But all lead to the same place: total love and oneness.
The path requires alignment of mind, body, and spirit.

All are a part of You.

One without the other leads to imbalance.

Recognize and nurture all aspects of You.

I’ll show you how.
1/ Mind

Your mind is trying to process all available information to protect you.

The problem: it gets tripped up.

We live in a world of constant fear-based stimulation.

Most of modern society is designed to feed and profit off of your mind.
1.1/ Pause your mind

This is effectively what meditation is and why it’s so powerful.

Some meditators use a mantra so as to have one repetitive thing to repeat.

This helps unwind cyclical thoughts.

It breaks the mind free from it’s shackles.

It stops the churn.
1.2/ Nourish your mind

Expand your knowledge (nonfiction)

Acquire wisdom (spiritual texts)

Learn new skills (music, sports, etc)

Gain exposure (documentaries)

All help strengthen and expand the mind.
1.3/ Be careful what you feed your mind

Your mind is not impenetrable; it’s just as vulnerable as your body and spirit.

Don’t feed your mind junk food e.g. drama series’s, mindless videos…

Anything that keeps you caught in a loop is designed to consume you.

Don’t let it!
2/ Body

Our bodies are not just sacks of meat and bones.

They’re hyper intelligent and have more going on than we can imagine.

One might argue that most trauma in the body is of direct relation to the mind and spirit.

It is our physical manifestation of our spiritual state.
2.1/ Focus on flexibility

Yoga has been around for thousands of years.

Why has it stood the test of time?

Because of its power.

Yoga will unlock your body, which unlocks your mind and spirit.

A flexible body means flexible thoughts.
2.2/ Do not poison your body

Alcohol, drugs, caffeine, pesticides.

To the body, all are toxic.

We have somehow decided that they are “ok” and normal.

I’m not sure who decided that, but count me out.
2.3/ You are what you eat

Your body wants nutrients from nature.

As fresh as possible with as few chemicals as possible.

Plants are great.

And, meat? Ask:

Are you eating an animal that bathed in fear and chemicals its whole life?

Or one that was healthy and happy?
3/ Spirit

This concept may sound unfamiliar.

Because for much of society, it is.

Since we were kids, we were told to repress our spirit and rely on the mind.

Spirit is your intuitions, feelings, emotions.

It’s your heart.
3.1/ Feed your spirit

Just like your body and mind, the spirit needs to be fed!

When’s the last time you blasted music?

Danced in the rain?

Acted silly and ridiculous?

All these things feed your spirit, keeping it alive and healthy.
3.2/ Heal your spirit

Repressed trauma is something we all have.

Keeping it repressed eats us on the inside.

Getting it out heals.

Meditative writing, therapy, counseling…

All help heal.
3.3/ Listen to your inner spirit

Your gut is your guide.

If something feels off, don’t ignore that feeling.

Figure out why.

To build your relationship with your spirit, start listening to it.

The more you practice, the clearer it will start communicating.
And that’s it!

The spiritual path is both unbelievably challenging.

And unbelievably simple.

It has been a secret weapon in building incredible companies.

And now I’m thrilled to share it with you all.
If you enjoyed this, give me a follow.

I am 27 and have build multiple unicorn companies.

My mission in life is to fix corporate culture and get the world dancing.

I tweet about the intersection of inner and outer work.
This tweet was an experiment.

Would spirituality appeal to a Twitter audience?

This response is an overwhelming yes.

More to come.

Soon DAOs will be plug & play.

This might be humanity’s biggest shift yet.

Here’s why it changes everything 👇
1/ Easily programmable communities

Community building used to be labor intensive and manual.

High cost, friction, resources, time spent.

Soon anyone anywhere will be able to spin one up overnight.

Just clone the code.
2/ Directly aligned financial incentives

It was near impossible to have community and aligned financial incentives in the same sentence.

There is no stronger motivating force on the planet than financial incentives.

Now it will be at the very core of community.

How to build a sales team:
To start, a note of credit to the great Jim Herbold from Box.

He was my hands-on mentor for many years. Bolt sales would not exist without him.

Much of this is learned wisdom from him.

Ok, here we go 👇
1/ Close the first deals yourself, end-to-end

It’s impossible to now how to construct a sales team without first knowing how to conduct a sale.

Some founders try to hire before this step.

Doing so is skipping a crucial step of getting intimate with your product and customers.

How I’ve focused my time and energy scaling Bolt from 1 to 400 people:
1/

The job as CEO completely changes every time the company 2X’s.

A CEO for a 5 person company is vastly different from 10 people, 20 people, and so on.

It’s important to recognize this, and lead as appropriate to your stage.
2/

Bad leaders want to make themselves irreplaceable.

Good leaders replace themselves with those more capable.

Growing as a CEO means leaning into this.

The CEO job is effectively an anti-job: to continually put oneself out of work to gain compounding leverage.

At Bolt, we’ve hired 400+ exceptional people.

Even in our earliest days, we were hiring out of Facebook, Twitter, and Google.

The secret?

Let’s dig in:
1/ Nail the vision

It’s day 1, and you might have nothing to your name.

But even still, you have something that no one else has.

That’s your vision.

How is this world going to change? How are you going to be a part of it?

In the early days, vision is your most lethal weapon.
2/ Nail You

On top of vision, you have... You.

Your story, corks, values, passions.

In meetings, let your personality shine through.

Don’t hesitate to get vulnerable.

Ultimately, candidates are deciding if they believe in you as a leader.

Show them who you are.

10 more mega trends that are about to change our future 👇👇👇
Education

Gone are the days of placement exams and useless memorization.

Soon we’ll realize that real world skills taught by real world experts matter more.

We’ll enable our kids to pursue their passions, not the next chapter in a textbook.

We’ll re-learn how to learn.
Venture Capital

VC will be so good at funding disruption, that it will disrupt itself.

Raising from the public means raising from your customers

It can lead to higher valuations and more flexible control provisions.

And the company builds an army of supporters!

Understand this and the future is yours.

7 years ago, @balajis was my professor at Stanford.

He developed an insight nearly a decade ago which looks more obvious by the day.

"Unlocking individual potential is the key to unlocking the world's potential."

This is playing out in real time across every industry.
1: Entertainment

Yesterday, you had to be chosen by the kings of Hollywood to make it.

Gate keepers, ladder climbing, politics just to get a chance.

Today anyone can get millions of followers via TikTok, Insta, YouTube.

The kicker? You can do it on a shoestring budget.
