Why In This Opportunity-Filled World People Do Nothing? I don't get it. I don't understand it. There's so much opportunity, yet most people don't do anything. Why is that? In this video, I explore a possible explanation of why that is and as well as how we encourage more action to more people. Recently, I had a conversation with a friend, and she told me that the sense of urgency that I've developed has to do more with this (https://www.juandavidcampolargo.com/b...) than anything else. ................................................................

Join us in this conversation between friends to talk about the pros and cons of starting a company before/after getting a job as well as how to recover after startup failures. PLUS! This video is worth watching for this dude's personality. Starting a company or venture BEFORE, DURING, or AFTER getting a job is all about understanding yourself and understanding the type of risks you're willing to take. Again, it's all about context. This conversation will provide you this context to help you understand you, your goals, and your future. Let us know what we missed, what we didn't consider, feedback, or what you found most helpful. If you're still interested in this question and want to figure this out. I'd recommend reading Paul Graham's essay, "A Student's Guide to Startups" (http://www.paulgraham.com/mit.html?vi...). Paul is the founder of YCombinator and one of the best people you can go to figure this question out. Not a pair of crazy 18-year-olds. ................................................................ Subscribe to my channel to get more content!

Thinking deeply about finding your inner hidden talent (or as I like to call it, "Your Inner Curiosity"). We all intuitively know and feel that we have a gift inside ourselves or that we're gifted in some way or form. That's why I was exploring this question on a Friday night alone with a chalkboard, and I reached an interesting conclusion, a conclusion that will make you see how you perceive talent, and even approach your own life. I also explore the assumptions, takeaways, and many of the philosophical themes behind the idea.
In this video, I share the story of teaching myself calculus as well as some advice and tricks you can implement to start teaching yourself any topic.

I'm always careful about what goes inside my brain. That includes books or any source of inputs because that changes how I think and influence how I see the world. Then there's a deeper layer, doing the same things as everyone else. If you do, you end up thinking like everyone else. To me, that's scary because I want to have different ideas and unusual thoughts. The way to do that is by ignoring what everyone suggests and asking yourself what you really want to learn about and what you really want to do. Here are 3 of my favorite Obscure Books! - The Art of Doing Science and Engineering by Richard Hamming (https://amzn.to/3lvB4in) - 7 Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli (https://amzn.to/38F1dYt) - Tao Te Ching (https://amzn.to/3nzi3wn) ................................................................

Who? I identified with Eric Weinstein so much because of the shared struggles with the educational system. Eric became a beacon of hope for me when he started sharing his story and lessons he learned throughout his impressive career as an academic, mathematician, physicist, economist, managing director of Thiel Capital, and podcaster. Although he's been told he is dyslexic, dysgraphic, color blind, ADD, and kinesthetic reinforcement deficits, he is proof of the educational system debacles. He says, “All BS. I wasn't meant for educators, as those are actually their issues with me (i.e. teaching disabilities).” He's an inspiration as I've faced similar obstacles especially with the focus of compliance in the educational system over creativity, curiosity, even intellect has hurt me in my educational career.

We are all the same and we think the same. We have become a world of uniform thinkers. This is dangerous. We all think the same. We watch the same TV shows and movies; we read the same books; we listen to the same music, and we are one world. One world that is becoming identical everywhere. The world has become one due to globalization and new technologies like the internet. As good as we all want to think globalization is good for the world.

I was a person who was, in fact, never confident. I was like most people my age. I would care about what people thought about me, and this seemingly never-ending thread of thoughts and narratives going through my head would be so overwhelming that I, like most people, would not dare to talk to that person, raise my hand in class, stand up when something wasn't right, or even abstaining from doing simple acts such as saying “Hi” to someone in the hallway. So what changed? What can you learn from my journey? ................................................................ Subscribe to my channel to get more content!

Early this year, I started writing and publishing essays every week on my website. I explore ideas, what I'm curious about, what I know, and what I don't know. It's the place where you'll find what I'm thinking. After I published a few essays, I asked myself, “Why don't I publish these essays in a video format?” It was a no-brainer. Then, I asked myself again, “Why don't I make a quick video every single day exploring ideas and things I've learned that could help other people until I get to 1000 subscribers?” Come Join Me! ................................................................

The tension between life and institutions appear in periods of crisis in a society. Then, two ways of thinking arise: Conservatives forces, and Innovative forces. Conservative forces consider the importance of the past to re-establish order. Innovative forces, aware of the need to reinvent new structures, forget what has been achieved and acquired and also forget the experience of the past. We should only have one thing in mind: WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSES PROGRESS. ................................................................ Subscribe to my channel to get more content!

Two possible ways to market a product/service/company. 1. Using Your Name 2. Using the product/service/company name. Pros and Cons of #1 • No competition (it's you) • Hard to sell it because if you aren't there, it doesn't exist.

This month has been a tough one for many of my peers, especially seniors. The moment we were all looking forward to, just vanished. Vanished is the right word because even if we get a graduation, it won't just be the same. That sucks and is… sad. I made an Instagram Story to show my perspective, and I explained why I'm not being as affected by the current situation happening in 2020. In the story, I describe that many of us are sad, depressed, anxious, and bored. I talked about what inspires me. I said that we are living in an era of infinite leverage and that a way to get a new perspective is to work on: 1. Projects you care about 2. Projects to help other people LINKS Mentioned in the episode

This past week I was thankfully selected to attend Akimbo and Seth Godin's Emergent Leaders Program. In this 5-day workshop for college students (oops I'm not college, I applied anyway) we work on projects every single day ranging from a TED Talk, writing a business plan, and even writing a children's book and audiobook.

One of my classmates said, “I could see Juan David giving this speech at an Ivy League.” Maybe. Last year, I took a speech class at school. One of the speeches I had to do was a valedictorian speech. I wasn't even close to being a valedictorian. If anything, I probably was closer to the lower-end. Anyway, my classmates really liked the essay so I thought about making a video on YouTube.

In this episode, I talk about a PRINCIPLE to keep in mind when CREATING. Whether you create art, videos, writing, (you name it). You should always focus on the QUANTITY, not quality. To illustrate this point, remember the story of two friends and the stuck car. When they were making the snowball was hard in the beginning. Over time, the snowball was bigger and better. It's also known as the Flywheel Principle. To start is hard and slow, but once it starts, it gets bigger and bigger. ................................................................

Being extremely successful is risky. To be the first, you sacrifice being the last one. To be the first, you sacrifice being ridiculed. To be the first, you risk losing everything. I've noticed that the same traits that lead to success, also lead to failure. If you think exactly like Jeff Bezos and imitate his habits and routines, that does not mean you will become as successful as him or build the next Amazon. We can take the most successful entrepreneurs of our time and study their habits and learn what they do to become what they are. This is exactly the problem with successful people's studies. You only study the ones who became successful and you don't take into account the ones who failed and had the same habits, routines, mindsets, etc. This is known as survivorship bias.

Over the last few weeks, I've reaffirmed my position that a statistics class should be REQUIRED for every person before they are released into the open world of adulthood. After seeing everything that has happened, it is dangerous to have a large number of people who don't know or understand statistics and the concept of probabilities. Many people are fooled by noise, lack a sense of judgment, and blindly believe what they see or what others say. Statistics is KEY. Why is it difficult for people to understand statistics and probabilities? Let's try to understand why that happens. ................................................................

And if you even know a little more about me from watching my TEDx Talks or reading my book, you would be pretty sure I'm a confident person.
