Just had a call with someone on Forbes 30 under 30 list and came away really impressed.
He shared with me how he made VP at a top tech company before age 30:
1. 4:30 AM wakeup
2. Cold showers
3. Gratitude journal
4. Meditate
5. Dad owns tech company

Nvidia ($960B) is now worth more than:
- Facebook ($665B)
- Tesla ($618B)
- Netflix ($168B)
This is a company that started 30 years ago at Denny's and was for decades only a video game chip maker.
Here's why Nvidia is surging:

This is one of the best cold emails ever.
But here a 3 ways that it could be even better:
1. Create a hook
The subject line needs a better hook than "internship." e.g., "Snapchat feedback from 10 high schoolers + internship"
2. Add value
Give first, then ask. e.g., "I spoke to 10 classmates, here's a doc with quotes on how Snapchat can be better."
3. Make a low-effort ask
A simple "How" is much better than "Want to schedule some time to chat?" But the ask could be even more specific. e.g., "Can you forward this to a recruiter?"

A personal story about Satya Nadella's superpower from a Microsoft VP:
"A few weeks after I joined Microsoft, Satya randomly called me and my manager to chat.
During those 30 minutes, he only asked questions. He asked about our thoughts on the product strategy, Microsoft’s culture, and what we thought needed change.
Here you have this CEO of a $2 trillion company just listening to two new employees instead of telling us what to do. That’s remarkable.
Later on, I realized that this is how Satya gathers signal.
He’s really good at getting different points of view from different sources and then connecting the dots on what needs to be fixed.
It’s remarkable that he can do this without falling into the temptation of telling you what to do."
As Satya himself wrote in his book, Hit Refresh:
"Listening is the most important thing that I accomplished each day because it would build the foundation of my leadership for years to come."

Airbnb has a blueprint of their entire customer journey on their office walls.
They then map all product, policy, and service updates to it.

Life luxuries without kids:
1. Traveling to exotic places
2. Dining at nice restaurants
3. Frequent hangouts with friends
4. Free time for personal hobbies
5. Clean house and peace of mind
Life luxuries with kids:
1. Actual silence
2. A full night's sleep
3. Going to the bathroom in peace
4. Getting out of the house on time
5. Watching them grow up, learn new things, and experience the world
I wouldn't trade #5 for anything in the first list.

Came across this Reddit thread discussing why someone got rejected from 16 colleges despite having a 3.97 GPA and starting his own company in high school.
Something about this highlighted comment made me want to share this.
Why should kids have to do performance theater to check all the boxes to become a "well-rounded" applicant when success in the real world often comes down to excelling in 1-2 key areas?
We should encourage kids to follow their curiosity instead of trying to check all the boxes.

"If you're in tech, run in one of these directions."
In this clip, @amasad (CEO @Replit) shares two paths to future-proof your career in the AI era:
1. Get as close to the metal as possible (e.g., NASA won't use GPT-Javascript to run rockets)
OR
2. Become a generalist who can go from idea to end product with AI end to end.
Amjad and I had a great chat covering:
• Why now's the best time to learn to code
• A live demo of building a nutrition tracker app
• The rise of personal apps and the future of work
Some quotes from Amjad:
"The return on learning to code doubles every 6 months. AI automates many of the boring parts. What's left is you and your creativity — the most exciting part of coding."
"The ultimate test for an AI coding agent is if you can make an app faster than you can Google for it. I think we've done it."
"I’ll be honest with you. I think roadmaps are dead. Here's why..."

I feel like outside of coding, real world usage of AI agents is nascent at best.
Someone prove me wrong - what's an AI workflow or agent you've set up that's super useful?
Something that runs automatically and gives you value without you having to go back and forth with it?

If these leaks are real, OpenAI will let you create and share your own GPT starting tomorrow:
You can give your GPT:
- A name
- A welcome message
- Example prompts to start the conversation
- Additional files for the GPT to reference
- Actions like web browsing, DALL-E, code interpreter
Pretty interesting play - like custom instructions on steroids.
