I recently found out I'm going to be a father.

Here are the principles I want to teach my child to live by:

Be Interested

Talent is overrated—interest is not.

Interested people are prone to giving their deep attention to something to discover more about it.

They ask questions, listen, & observe. They open up to the world around them.

Being interested is a key to a fulfilling life.

Different is Beautiful

Growing up, I feared being different—I desperately wanted to fit in.

I made bad decisions grounded in insecurity.

I only realized later: being different is your edge—your ultimate competitive advantage.

No one can compete with you, at being you.

How to land your dream job:

I’ve been involved in a lot of hiring processes.

I'm also not afraid to admit I've been rejected for more jobs than I can count.

But there are proven ways to stand out and win.

The 3-part framework:
• Foot in the Door
• Nail the Interview
• Close the Deal

Let's dive in:

Part 1: Foot in the Door

The hiring process is ultra-competitive.

There always seems to be an overabundance of candidates applying for the same highly sought-after roles.

You can't land the job if they won't even give you a chance.

5 methods to get your foot in the door:

The most powerful paradoxes of life:

The Persuasion Paradox

Have you noticed that the most argumentative people rarely persuade anyone?

The most persuasive people don’t argue—they observe, listen, and ask questions.

Argue less, persuade more.

Persuasion is an art that requires a paintbrush, not a sledgehammer.

The Effort Paradox

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.

Small things become big things. Simple is not simple.

We should give a $10,000 investment account to every newborn baby.

It's a crazy idea, but the logic and math is pretty compelling...

Here's how I see it working:

Earlier this week, I wrote a thread on the Cantillon Effect—which says that there are distributional consequences based on where new money enters the system.

It suggests that top-down monetary policy propagates inequality.

But I got a lot of questions about how to fix this...

This thread covers one such idea: The Baby Grant.

The basic idea is as follows...

Every newborn baby has an investment account opened in their name at birth.

The account is seeded with $10,000.

It cannot be touched until the child is 65 (or for educational uses after age 18).
