21 lessons learned in 2021:
Engineered Serendipity

I believe that some of what we call "luck" is actually the macro result of 1,000s of micro actions.

Your daily habits can put you in a position where "luck" is more likely to strike.

Increase your serendipity surface area.

Engineer your own serendipity.
Pessimists Sound Smart, Optimists Get Rich

Pessimists look at the future and see the doors that are closed.

Optimists look at the future and see the doors that are open—and probably kick down the closed doors, too.

Surround yourself with optimists. The future is bright.

“Take risks, hit the pavement, and be a super ball.” — @Scaramucci

We hosted Anthony Scaramucci on Where It Happens to discuss turning bad situations into opportunities, the future of live events, and why he's bullish on Web3.

I’m biased, but this is an absolute gem…

10 common errors in reasoning that undermine arguments:
Ad Hominem

Latin phrase for "to the person”—an attack of the individual rather than the argument.

Instead of addressing the argument and its merits, the offender attempts to refute the opposition on the basis of personal characteristics.

All-too-common in political debates.
The Sharpshooter

A man fires a gun at a barn wall and then paints a target around the tightest cluster of bullet holes to create the appearance of accuracy.

The offender selects and highlights evidence that supports the conclusion—while ignoring evidence that may refute it.

10 common mental errors that derail decision-making:
Survivorship Bias

History is written by the victors.

But in studying and learning from "survivors”—and systematically ignoring "casualties”—we create material distortions in our conclusions.

We overestimate the odds of success because we only read about the successes!
Naïve Realism

Humans generally think very highly of themselves.

We tend to believe that we see the world with perfect objectivity.

We also assume that people who disagree with us must be ignorant, uninformed, or biased.

This error sits at the core of many societal problems.

Hey @espn, I’d like to buy and reimagine the X Games.

Here’s my plan (RT if you’re interested):
The X Games are an annual extreme sports event organized, produced, and distributed by ESPN.

The first X Games took place in 1995 in Rhode Island.

For many years—including most of my childhood—the X Games were an incredible spectacle.

But now is the time for a refresh…
The X Games is being held back from achieving its full potential as Disney and ESPN prioritize other areas of the business.

The athletes—and the passionate community of fans—have not been able to participate in the immense value that the X Games can create.

So how do we fix it?

I’m fascinated by how founders generate business ideas.

I think I’ll start hosting a regular conversation where I dive deep with 1-2 successful founders on the idea generation process that led to their startup.

Who’s interested?
What would be the best format for the discussions?
Idea would be to keep it short (<30 minutes) and extremely tactical.

How did you come up with the idea?

What daily actions lead to business ideas?

How did you diligence your idea?

Etc.
