I know you guys have missed these - my solo rants! Today, I do a solo exploration on betting on yourself as it relates to your career and discuss key principles & learnings including:
- Why people incorrectly focus on the outputs (money) vs. the inputs (personal growth), and what we can learn from LeBron.
- Life is a single player game. Are you optimizing accordingly?
- Why real growth + confidence happens when you're uncomfortable
- How going outside your bubble can lead to massive compounding
- Why you should be looking to find your absolute (not local) maxima
- How Jeff Bezos's regret minimization framework should be adhered and lived by
- Why being afraid of failure is silly
We end doing a read-out of Teddy Roosevelt's famous "Man in the Arena" quote which I think perfectly encapsulates this episode. Hope you guys enjoy this episode - please give me feedback (good, bad, or ugly). How did I do? Hit me up on Twitter (@karsenthil) or email me at karthik@learnhax.co
