How Mark Zuckerberg lost $30 billion in one day…

I called my shot on CNBC after the Facebook name change that they had more fundamental problems. I asked our team to check the tapes—which are included in this clip.

Fun moment walking through the situation with @nikitabier!

By the way, none of this is financial advice!!!

I don’t trade single name stocks (as I mention in the episode). Just a fun, curious observer of all of this craziness.
Here’s the thumbnail for the episode with @nikitabier. I’d NFT that.

I’ve been searching for ways to get more focused and efficient with my time…

Here’s one simple productivity trick I’ve discovered:
I spent most of my 20s having zero respect for my own time.

I would accept every meeting request, take every call, and attend every function.

There was a plus side to this—saying “yes” to a lot of things expands your luck surface area.

But in my 30s, it no longer makes sense…
I began to realize I needed to push for efficiency, leverage, and focus.

This would mean saying no more often.

The problem? Identifying what to cut and what to prioritize in a schedule can be really challenging.

Here’s the tactical method I developed that helped me do it:

I think a lot about lessons I learned on the field and how they apply to business and life.

Here’s an important one on mistakes and focus:
In college, the pitchers had to log how many “compound mistakes” we made in a game.

A “mistake” was a walk, hit batter, or error. Basically something where you—or the team—screwed up.

A “compound mistake” occurred if you failed to get the next batter out following a mistake.
When you look at the data, it turns out it’s hard to give up a lot of runs if you avoid compound mistakes.

The takeaway is simple: leave the past mistake in the past and focus on getting the next batter out.

That’s what’s in your control—that’s what impacts the outcome.

If I were going to drop a bold Super Bowl ad, I would definitely pre-program my site to be “down” 5 minutes after the ad running.

Much more earned media from a bold ad “crashing the site”…
Go look at the tweets about the Coinbase ad. Most of them cite the website crashing…

That will be the headline in the days that follow.

The gift that keeps on giving!
Maybe I’m way off, but I like it. Zig when they zag!

10 ways to stand out in a hiring process (that don’t involve your resume):
Do Your Research

Before an interview, spend a few hours researching the company and role.

At a minimum, you should cover:
• Company mission
• Recent company news
• Recent market news
• Backgrounds of leaders
• Backgrounds of interviewers

Google is a powerful asset—use it.
Embrace “I Don’t Know”

You can’t know the answer to every question. And you know what? That’s ok.

Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know”—but follow it with a plan to acquire that information.

Ex: “I don’t know, but I’ll dig in and follow up via email.”

Then actually follow up!
