Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew finn

Tim Urban is the writer/illustrator behind Wait But Why, a blog he founded with his business partner, Andrew Finn, as well as the man behind one of our favourite TED Talks of all time on procrastination.  Tim writes long-form articles covering topics from outer space to love to artificial intelligence. As he puts it, he writes about “almost everything actually”. Each post is also accompanied with Tim's now-iconic doodles.  Content creation is one of the hardest things to monetise effectively, but Tim hasn't just managed to make a living from stick figures; he's also used it to network with the most influential people on the planet, including Elon Musk.  His new book, What's Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies is the fruit of Tim's six-year exploration into what exactly is going wrong with society right now. In short: he thinks we've lost the nuances and lays out how we can start to rebuild the bridges that have been damaged in recent years.  What are the simple things all societies need to do to kick on from where we are? How do you monetise well when you're a content creator going after a niche audience? And what's Elon actually like in person?

On this episode of S&C's Critical Insights, Stewart Robertson and Andrew Finn discuss the rapidly emerging expropriation and asset seizure risks to foreign companies operating in Russia and around the world.    In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many multinational companies have announced plans to suspend or otherwise scale back their operations in Russia. Russia's Parliament is currently considering laws that would allow its government to seize assets of those companies or put them under temporary government management.   Stewart and Andrew explore the practical steps companies can take and consider in preparing for this type of possible action.

The road to embracing the entrepreneur life is a rocky one. It often begins with that one impactful experience that shifts you to a growth mindset and sparks the change you want to bring to the world. David Longhini has come a long way by building his own successful company. But he made sure not to forget his origins. As CEO of Empodio, he helps home and business service companies like his father's scale using software and value-focused processes. He believes that the only reason to start a company is to improve the lives of others. Here, he brings in the lessons he learned from his childhood, getting into Buddhism and meditation, and embracing failure. Listen to the full episode as David shares his journey toward entrepreneurship, networking, and mindset and how they link to his childhood dynamics. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: David's childhood dynamic that sparked his interest in entrepreneurship Introducing new business approaches to his father What getting into Buddhism unlocked for him Shifting your life to a contribution and growth mindset Building deeper networks and circles Figuring out sales and knowing your value Therapy and meditation analogy Addressing codependency and embracing failure Focusing on things you can control Notable quotes from the Episode: “When you become an entrepreneur, you immediately go from one job you're good at, if you had a corporate degree, to ten jobs you suck at.” “The best entrepreneurs I've ever seen are the ones who build deeper relationships where people come to them, and they build networks, and they build communities around them, by actually being able to provide support.” “There are three things that you need. You need somebody ahead of you, on your level, and below you.” “You have to go learn sales. You will have to. Because you will be that person for the period of time, and nothing else matters.” “It [codependency] creates a cycle in which you give and you give and you give and you give without boundaries, and then eventually, you get resentful and burned out.” Connecting with the Guest: Website: https://www.empodio.io/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidjml/ The Dynamite Circle: https://dynamitecircle.com/ Books and articles mentioned: The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber: https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses-About/dp/0887307280 Originals by Adam Grant: https://www.amazon.com/Originals-How-Non-Conformists-Move-World/dp/014312885X The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz: https://www.amazon.com/Four-Agreements-Practical-Personal-Freedom/dp/1878424319 Wait But Why by Tim Urban and Andrew Finn: https://waitbutwhy.com/ Burnout by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski: https://www.amazon.com/Burnout-Secret-Unlocking-Stress-Cycle/dp/198481706X Interested in starting a podcast or handing your production to a qualified team?

Today we welcome Tim Urban. He is the writer and illustrator of the blog Wait But Why, which he co-founded with Andrew Finn in 2013. With wry stick-figure illustrations and occasionally epic prose, Wait But Why has garnered millions of unique page views, thousands of patrons and famous fans like Elon Musk. His long-form blog covers a range of subjects including artificial intelligence, outer space, and procrastination. Tim earned his A.B. from Harvard University, graduating cum laude with a major in Government. In this episode, I talk to Tim Urban about the complex relationship between identity and critical thinking. Tim cautions against blind loyalty to specific ideologies for it can lead to an echo chamber of tribal minds. Instead of dogmatic maxims, he suggests we uphold basic core principles that guide our thoughts and behavior. In this way, Tim believes we engage in high rung thinking all the while cultivating “idea labs” within our culture. We also touch on the topics of dating, education, politics, writing, morality, and tech.  Website: waitbutwhy.comTwitter: @waitbutwhy Topics02:21 Intellectual ADHD06:14 Detached truth seeking 08:40 Pitfalls of low wrung thinking16:15 Tim's upbringing and education21:01 Dating is kind of like Grand Theft Auto37:50 “Your ego is a backpack”44:35 The world needs your spaghetti brain51:40 Idea labs and echo chambers57:43 The spectrum of opposing views1:01:14 Repressing science for ideology1:09:31 Life, death, and cryonics1:25:15 Learning in analogies and metaphors1:29:52 Evaluating high quality ideas1:36:40 Choosing what to read1:39:55 Tim's life altering idea1:43:11 Mars, capitalism, neurolinks 1:47:45 Lightning round1:53:50 But why wait?

Today, I'm talking with my new Capital Camp buddy Andrew Finn. He is the co-founder of the blog Wait But Why. Since age 25 he's been patiently building, buying, and operating small businesses. Now, he and Tim Urban share a portfolio of cash-flowing small businesses. Together we discuss how to get a free company, why it is often easier to buy a company than build it, and when to eat a shitburger. Enjoy these topics and countless others on this episode of Jorgenson's Soundbox.    Additional resources to help enrich your experience below:   Topics Covered:  How to get a “free” business What a $100,000 failure in early stage podcasting looked like Why it's easier to buy a company than build a company Why “doing it later” is a risk and the opportunity cost that comes with it The importance of judgement and getting experience making ‘real decisions' How to be a legitimate player in “the game” An illustration of a jobless renegade pirate's day looks like Eating shitburgers, and how to know when to stop   Favorite Quotes: “If I do all this maneuvering, find this company, sell at this price, sell some debt and get some money. In 5 years it'll be like poof here's a free company and I get my money back.” - Andrew Finn   “Your job is not to win the SMB game, it's to win the game. It's to win the game of money in a way that will benefit your life. Like, we're invested in crypto, and the stock market too.”   “All service businesses are chicken, just as much as software. You pay someone $X. Resell their time for $X + $Y. And the entirety of the business is justifying and expanding Y to both customers and workers. Y comes from well managed opex, capex, and organization structure. To do it well, you have to just laser focus on what you're providing in exchange for Y. The market gets pissed long-term if it doesn't feel like you're providing enough, and every day it conspires to ask you the question.” - Andrew's Twitter Additional Resources:   Wait But Why Andrew Finn's Personal Blog G64ventures - Andrew's holding company Andrew Finn Linkedin Jorgenson Leverage Course    Additional Episodes If You Enjoyed: Andrew Wilkinson: Investing vs. Operating, De-risking Leverage, and The Best Part About Business Nick Huber: How to Leverage Twitter, an Abundance Mindset, and A Love of Chaos Sky King: The Next Level of the Internet, Decentralization, and Becoming a Player in the Game of Life If you enjoy podcasts with Brent Beshore of Permanent Equity or Patrick O'Shaughnessy, you're going to love this one!  --------------------------------------------------------------- Huge thanks to Modern Stoa (modernstoa.co) for their help on creating and growing this very podcast you're listening to now.

I've been carrying them in my head for thirty years, and I've been living them. Over time (sadly or fortunately), the thing I got really good at was looking at businesses and figuring out the point of maximum leverage to actually create wealth and capture some of that created wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Seek wealth, not money or status. - Naval Ravikant    Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant    Money is how we transfer time and wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.    You're not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity—a piece of a business—to gain your financial freedom.  - Naval Ravikant       The most important skill for getting rich is becoming a perpetual learner. You have to know how to learn anything you want to learn. The old model of making money is going to school for four years, getting your degree, and working as a professional for thirty years. But things change fast now. Now, you have to come up to speed on a new profession within nine months, and it's obsolete four years later. But within those three productive years, you can get very wealthy. - Naval Ravikant     Important quotes from the podcast by Naval on Leverage:   “Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.”  —Archimedes    To get rich, you need leverage. Leverage comes in labor, comes in capital, or it can come through code or media. But most of these, like labor and capital, people have to give to you. For labor, somebody has to follow you. For capital, somebody has to give you money, assets to manage, or machines. - Naval Ravikant   Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media). - Naval Ravikant   Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you. Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you. - Naval Ravikant   Code and media are permissionless leverage. They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant   If you can't code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts. - Naval Ravikant   Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgment. - Naval Ravikant   Apply specific knowledge, with leverage, and eventually you will get what you deserve. - Naval Ravikant   “We live in an age of infinite leverage, and the economic rewards for genuine intellectual curiosity have never been higher. Following your genuine intellectual curiosity is a better foundation for a career than following whatever is making money right now.” - Naval Ravikant   Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.    But usually, the real wealth is created by starting your own companies or even by investing. In an investment firm, they're buying equity. These are the routes to wealth. It doesn't come through the hours. - Naval Ravikant

In this episode of S&C's Critical Insights, Joe Neuhuas and Andrew Finn discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's decision granting certiorari in Servotronics Inc. v. Rolls Royce PLC. The case concerns the ability of U.S. courts to compel discovery in support of international arbitrations seated abroad and has important practical implications to counsel and users of international arbitration, who frequently favor arbitration because of its limited discovery rules and faster timeframes. The decision has the potential to finally resolve a circuit split over the availability of such discovery in international commercial arbitrations. Joe and Andrew provide context on the case and predict how it might play out in the Supreme Court.

Joe and Andrew discuss two recent arbitration developments at the Supreme Court. First, they review the recent decision in GE Energy Power Conversion France SAS v. Outokumpu Stainless USA, which addresses when persons who did not sign an arbitration agreement can nevertheless pursue arbitration in international cases. Second, they discuss the grant of certiorari in Henry Schein v. Archer & White Sales on its return to the Supreme Court to consider again the circumstances under which a court rather than arbitrators may decide whether a case is subject to arbitration.

This week’s conversation is about artificial intelligence and interplanetary travel. Its about content creation, thinking from first principles, and death progress units. Its about brain machine interfaces and why it is crucial that you be a chef and not a cook.  My guest is Tim Urban, along with his business partner Andrew Finn. Tim is the most entertaining writer I’ve come across in years, who explains complicated and interesting topics to his millions of dedicated readers on the website “Wait, But Why.” As an example, Tim’s last post on Elon Musk’s neurlink venture is 40,000 words long, roughly the length of a short book. It explains almost all of human progress and our potential future using drawings and cartoons. Its impossible to stop reading. While this conversation is wildly entertaining, it is also chock full of metaphors and lessons that will be useful to anyone doing creative work or building a company. I hope this leaves you as energized as it left me. I called this episode Grand Theft Life because that is the name that Tim and Andrew give to their worldview, which I think will change the way you behave, too. Please enjoy my conversation with Tim Urban.   For comprehensive show notes on this episode go to http://investorfieldguide.com/urban For more episodes go to InvestorFieldGuide.com/podcast.
