Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- On Tuesday night, president-elect Donald Trump announced that the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will head a new department in the Trump administration: the Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE.” Aside from the very strange fact that internet meme culture has now landed in the White House—Dogecoin is a memecoin—more importantly, what the announcement solidifies is the triumph of the counter-elite. A bunch of oddball outsiders ran against an insular band of out-of-touch elites supported by every celebrity in Hollywood—and they won. And they are about to reshape not just the government but also the culture in ways we can't imagine. And there was one person I wanted to discuss it with. He is the vanguard of those antiestablishment counter-elites: Peter Thiel. People describe the billionaire venture capitalist in very colorful terms. He's been called the most successful tech investor in the world. A political kingmaker. The bogeyman of the left. The center of gravity in Silicon Valley. There's the “Thielverse,” “Thielbucks,” and “Thielists.” To say he has an obsessive cult following would be an understatement. If you listened to my last conversation with Thiel a year and a half ago on Honestly, you'll remember that Peter was the first guy in Silicon Valley to publicly embrace Trump in 2016. That year, he gave a memorable speech at the RNC, and many in his orbit thought it was simply a step too far. He lost business at Y Combinator, the start-up incubator where he was a partner. Many prominent tech leaders criticized him publicly, like VC and Twitter investor Chris Sacca, who called Thiel's endorsement of Trump “one of the most dangerous things” he had ever seen.  Well, a lot has changed since then. For one, Thiel has taken a step back from politics—at least publicly. He didn't donate to Trump's 2024 campaign. There was no big RNC speech this year. But the bigger change is a cultural one. He's no longer the pariah of Silicon Valley for supporting Trump. On the surface, Thiel is someone who seems full of contradictions. He is a libertarian who has found common cause with nationalists and populists. He likes investing in companies that have the ability to become monopolies, and yet Trump's White House wants to break up Big Tech. He is a gay American immigrant, but he hates identity politics and the culture wars. He pays people to drop out of college, but, in this conversation at least, still seems to venerate the way that the Ivy Leagues are an indicator of intelligence. But perhaps that's the secret to his success: He's beholden to no tribe but himself, no ideology but his own. And why wouldn't you be when you make so many winning bets? From co-founding the e-payment behemoth PayPal and the data analytics firm Palantir (which was used to find Osama bin Laden) to being the first outside investor in Facebook, Thiel's investments—in companies like LinkedIn, Palantir, and SpaceX, to name a few—have paid off big time. His most recent bet—helping his mentee J.D. Vance get elected as senator and then on the Trump ticket as vice president—seems also to have paid off. The next four years will determine just how high Thiel's profit margin will be. Today: Thiel explains why so many of his peers have finally come around to Trump; why he thinks Kamala—and liberalism more broadly—lost the election; and why the Trump 2.0 team will be better than last time, with antiestablishment figures who are willing to rethink the system. We talk about the border, trade deals, student debt, Israel and foreign policy, the rise of historical revisionism, the blurry line between skepticism and conspiracy, and his contrarian ideas about what we might face in a dreaded World War III.

If you go to Yale Law School and you're one of five people in the class who are still conservative at the end, you'll be pretty good at understanding what's wrong with liberalism.” Populism and democracy may be a Russell conjugate: It is democracy when people vote the right way and it is populism when they vote the wrong wayBoth extreme dogmatism and extreme skepticism are incompatible with science If you make something into God, you make it into a scapegoat for all the problems too If you're addicted to the 140 characters on your shiny iPhone screen, you may not realize that the New York Subway and your decrepit apartment building are collapsing around you It matters what people do; there is room for human agency and human thought in the trajectory of the future Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgOn Tuesday night, president-elect Donald Trump announced that the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will head a new department in the Trump administration: the Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE.” Aside from the very strange fact that internet meme culture has now landed in the White House—Dogecoin is a memecoin—more importantly, what the announcement solidifies is the triumph of the counter-elite.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.On today's show, we have a fascinating episode that combines the macro and the micro.Nimble Partners Founder John Burbank and Partner Ken Wallace come on the show to share their unique perspectives and discuss both the nuances and intricacies of investing in private markets and early-stage venture.Nimble Partners is a technology investment platform that invests into early-stage fund managers through their manager selection program and as well as direct and co-investments into breakout performers from their fund manager relationships.John and Ken have had illustrious careers in both public markets and private markets, investing in many of the biggest technology trends and many top early-stage managers over the past 15 years.John was a top macro investor from founding Passport Capital in 2000, where he was amongst the best hedge fund managers of his time. He's been investing into early-stage fund managers for the past decade. As a long-time macro investor, he has consistently focused on sectors and investments where technology can be disruptive and accelerate change. He's also an investor in the Golden State Warriors, the championship winning NBA team.Ken joined John to build Nimble after a stellar career at Industry Ventures, backing a number of emerging managers, most notably Chris Sacca's first-time Lowercase Capital fund, which at over 200x+ returns, was amongst the best performing venture funds in history. At Industry Ventures, he specialized in hybrid fund of funds strategy, originating, valuing, and managing primary fund commitments, early secondary LP investments, and direct co-investments.We had a fascinating conversation that spanned a number of topics:  Why this is not the end of venture capital — and why the winners are still to going to win and win big. How global macro impacts venture capital. The framework that John and Ken use to evaluate technology trends and emerging managers. How the “portfolio manager” model can be applied to venture capital. How information is a huge edge. Why duration is the most important thing an investor can have. Thanks John and Ken for coming on the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast to share your wisdom.

Chris Sacca is one of the most accomplished venture investors of the last half century. He founded Lowercase Capital in 2010 and made seed stage investments in Twitter, Uber, Instagram, Blue Bottle Coffee, and Stripe. Lowercase's first fund famously became one of the highest returning venture funds in history and landed Chris at #2 on the Midas List in 2017. After retiring together with his wife Crystal that year, they came back to the business to found Lowercarbon Capital to fund “kickass companies that make money slashing carbon emissions.” Lowercarbon manages in excess of $2 billion of outside capital, excluding its largest investor – Chris and Crystal. Our conversation covers Chris's humble upbringing, early entrepreneurial endeavors, and ups and downs in his early professional years. We cover his transition to Google, foundations of his investing philosophy at Lowercase, and work today at Lowercarbon. Along the way, Chris shares his sourcing of deals, evaluation of founders, and work with portfolio companies. He is a gifted storyteller and a walking case-study on grit.

Adam's portfolio across funds includes the likes of BigID, Transfix, NomNom, and Hone Health, to name a few.  In Today's Episode with Adam Besvinick We Discuss: 1. How Twitter Led to Founding a Venture Firm: How did Adam make his way into the world of venture through Twitter? What are 1-2 of his biggest lessons from working with the legend, Chris Sacca? What does Adam know now that he wishes he had known at the beginning of his time in VC? What do most young VCs misunderstand when it comes to reputation? 2. Raising Fund I: The Process: How many LP meetings did Adam have to close Fund I? What docs and materials did he have for the fundraise? How does he advise other managers on doing docs for fundraises? How do different LP profiles want different things in the managers they work with? How did Adam approach first vs final close? How does he advise others managers on closing? How did Adam instil a sense of urgency in LPs to move and commit to the fund? What are 1-2 of Adam's biggest pieces of advice to managers raising a first-time fund? 3. Looking Glass: The Very Disciplined Pre-Seed Strategy: How did Adam decide on the fund size? Why is it the optimal fund size? What is the desired ownership for Adam? What level of dilution does he expect across the lifecycle of the company? What is the average check size? What is the average entry price? How does Adam approach reserves and follow-on checks? How does Adam reflect on his own relationship to price? Why does Adam not like the majority of pre-seed micro-fund strategies? 4. The Market: Multi-Stage Firms Destroying Seed Does Adam agree that "multi-stage firms have destroyed seed rounds"? How does Adam advise founders when they have multi-stage offers and seed firm offers? Who will be the winners and losers in the next 10 years of venture? Why is it harder than ever to advise founders on fundraising rounds today?

He then transitioned into the Tech sector when he founded Tuesday, a political-tech startup for advocacy organizations and nonprofits which has been backed by well-known Tech investors such as ​​Reid Hoffman or Chris Sacca, prior to being acquired in 2020. Despite not having a background in science, Michael found that he could still make a valuable contribution to the climate tech sector and founded Exponential Impact to support companies that have the potential to save the world (literally).  With Michael's interesting background, I was looking forward to getting his non-scientist  view on synthetic biology and its huge potential impact on the economy and the climate tech sector. During the show, Micheal gives an interesting overview of the synthetic bio landscape and who he sees are the major players, the regulatory challenges and opportunities, and the most exciting synbio tech applications that are currently cooking in the labs. He also shares more about his approach to climate tech funding, how he built Exponential impact, how he sources founders, what he offers them and how he measures their potential impact.  Part 2: My secret sauce: In the second part of the show, Michael gives his secret sauce for founders looking to pitch to investors and the criteria he uses to base his investment decisions along with a few examples of what works, what doesnt, and the red flags he notices when hearing pitches. Lastly, Michael gives us his main book recommendations for Entrepreneurs in Climate Tech.

I feel like this interview was long overdue, as I've know Rob for a long time. I probably first met him at one of the tech events in Boston… maybe Web Innovators Group or something like that. It was during a resurgence of the tech industry in that region where a new crop of entrepreneurs were building companies and Rob's company, Backupify, was one of the hot companies in the Boston tech scene. Backupify raised funding from top investors like First Round Capital, Avalon Ventures, General Catalyst, Lowercase Capital and top angel investors like Dharmesh Shah, Chris Sacca, and Jason Calacanis. It was a big deal because he chose to build his company in Boston instead of Silicon Valley or NYC, which helped him make a splash coming from Kentucky. Since having a successful exit with Backupify, Rob has gone on to make a major impact to not only the Boston tech scene, but to the tech industry at large as both an entrepreneur and investor. His latest company is called Dianthus, the world's only AI-first eCommerce company which is acquiring small to medium sized brands and helping them grow faster with a common AI platform that includes not just new technologies, but new AI-centric workflows, processes, and ways of working. The company just announced $11.5M in seed funding led by PJC, Underscore, and Jason Calacanis. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * The use of AI and the areas that Rob finds the most interesting in terms of use cases. * Rob's early professional career out of school and a look at how he got into blogging in the early days, including how it has helped him as an entrepreneur. * The story of Backupify, a backup cloud company that was started in 2008 for Salesforce and Google Apps and was acquired by Datto. * His experience as an investor - first as an angel, which includes some amazing advice on how to get started as an angel investor and then his experience as a Venture Partner at PJC. * A deep dive into the creation of his latest company, Dianthus and how they are leveraging AI as a competitive advantage. * Advice for hiring when building out your company. * And so much more.

Alongside his wife Crystal, Chris Sacca built Lowercase Capital into an extraordinarily successful VC firm, leveraging very early-stage investments in transformational technology companies like Twitter, Uber, Instagram, and Stripe. He retired in 2017, but came out of retirement to head up the science and investing team at Lowercarbon Capital, which is pursuing ambitious solutions to the climate crisis through innovation in energy, building materials, transportation, food, industrial chemicals, reforestation, and more. In this conversation with Stanford adjunct lecturer Ravi Belani, Sacca discusses how he found such success in early-stage investing, and explains why he thinks we're entering a golden age of tech-driven climate solutions.

Ron Schneidermann is the CEO of AllTrails, and has been building technology that helps people enjoy the outdoors for over 15 years. He's an accomplished entrepreneur and a hands-on leader who devours data and isn't afraid to veer from the standard startup playbook. Many of the folks listening know AllTrails as the outdoor app that helps you find the perfect activity for your preferences, and once you're there, you can take advantage all sorts of detailed maps to keep you on the trail, even when you're out of cell service. AllTrails has been around since 2010, and now hosts over 200,000 trail guides in 190 countries across all 7 continents, and has over 1M premium subscribers worldwide. This isn't Ron's first expedition as an outdoor technology leader. He co-founded Liftopia and built and ran the world's leading ski lift ticket booking tool for 8 years, backed by all-star investors like Marc Benioff, Chris Sacca, and First Round Capital. He also led Growth at Yelp before taking over the reins at AllTrails. In our talk, Ron shares his approach to covering the globe, lessons he's learned the hard way, and the questions he's still chewing on. Here's what we cover: Ron's experience taking AllTrails from 6 people to 100 people, and through a really tough transition period. Carving a non-conventional path as a startup. Going for profitability early, and deciding the early adopters were not the profile to build around. The inflection point that led to the focus on becoming a global company. The pros and the cons of using acquisitions to fuel growth. The pandemic experience - the explosion of hiking, helping people stay healthy, and growing the team during lockdown. How AllTrails approaches international expansion and coverage across all 7 continents. Translation vs. localization, and things that broke when going from one market to the next (even from the US to the UK). Machine translation - when to use it, when to avoid it. How to support one billion end users around the world, and the trade-offs between centralized vs. de-centralized teams. Ron's advice and hindsight for companies going global and maximizing momentum. Hindsight on acquisitions, and things NOT to do to avoid making users really angry and avoid bleeding eyes :). How best to structure your team to get the most out of each market, and to diagnose problems when markets aren't performing as hoped. The aspects of international expansion that are still up for debate at AllTrails, and most likely at many other growing companies.

difficulties have been her issue lately Erickson's register just relax I'm getting down mad I and to functioning so dad mad sitting still Newport is up to me the Apple Watch don't tell you to freeze yeah it's college full of useless reminders of all been forget to breathe I'll be I'll be sitting there just thinking about an argument that I just had but I'm sitting still and it's like in a box up that the worst one is the one that says you haven't done anything in your heart rate at 120 yeah will that's not good at sudsy that's me if you don't think it's reef you may go to the doctor know that now I mean that's me getting picked by heart rate is higher normally just nothing but I'm saying life does not come to be proud that's weird it's still not proud of its it's scary is on St. John the hypochondriac so I've architected by Dr. it's that's what I do I bring a list of questions every time ago and 1/2 shout out to Dr. to Onyx and the evil he loves his podcast and so these numbers soar knows what five gases here but I bring a list of questions and I'm not proud of you understand that's that's crazy psychosomatic, so your brain can get you so mad but physically my doing anything internally physically and yet will wait when you met at other than the technical difficulties that we now know I guess I start transition between thoughts little bit but I am bad how much time we spend on tech issues and that's the good kind segue into apologizing to the audience about last two weeks we've read some good news bad news we've had we have some good things in the hopper coming up unfortunately have to do that they were super vague because we can't that's the bad news you can really talk about it yet just no trust me we will talk to shoot out of it once we can but yeah and maybe more frequency to Yahoo I can wear those that yeah so so good news is stuff in the future near future to look good no matter what happens if we get this thing going we have a backup plan anyway bad news is we we didn't thank you enough episodes were schedule our time together to do episodes with gas Regis got her a self the last one Eric you did a great job on your ear I went good news bad news right now I started that way and then cheers and jeers and knowing what's your notes on how they did know this stuff so not Celica report card or anything I thought you did a really good job you had a yen of Jacqueline Jack yeah my funky face between my wife and my best friend who they have about zero respect for my opinions and whatnot he wrangled them as much as you could know why I thought it was good idea I don't know what I was thinking but career what it is not as bad as you say you have a listener back right now though I was in the first five seconds and it was me maxing out and I was liking the audit in the audio is a little bad debts on the deal I think a lot of people were we only three of the audio file, listeners I think a lot of people put up with that you were not a music podcast so it's like yeah or were not like audio tech people, podcasts so voiceover podcasts I'm sure made some people mad and I hope they don't unsubscribe but we tried it removed figure get something out is better than not get it out all can we want to make sure we get one this week on Thursdays like we've been doing it will even know it has been that bad it's been maybe one week this appears that one of the last three weeks right yeah but it is interesting about being consistent first podcast is so huge to someone who absorbed a lot of them I get perturbed if I don't know there's not the episode coming up sometimes when you're really bored are you really a monotony you can rely on like right will Rogan podcast three or four and when he goes hunting doesn't tell you you're like dude that's I mean just the volume used with notes so hours a week so on-air I thought you good opinions and it made me reflect a little bit that get some good angles weaved in their bike route the data about I do know how I forgot how libertarian you can be a way okay before we start breaking me down the house you want this is a good thing do you want to what about Facebook's William sponsorship I probably another weave and it that's part of this that I was just like I don't even surface books now I know you and appalled, I found you to get to that those villagers I had you know I know but it maybe reflect I gotta stop steamrolling the is there stuff that you got on your mind probably and I probably talk over that's that was the jeers to begin you can help it but everybody's over talking yeah the amino I don't really feel that way from you but you Bruckner also hosts it will close ally single leg, most but yeah so someone's gotta come to guide the boat a little bit and someone no it's it it's as if there's more fluidity I'd say going forward it's gotta be like I never watch out ice hockey players discount they get in their and there they get enough first second third fourth line right altogether and they're just fluid they don't talk to each other yet but they know what to do they come to get in there and cut fluidity a little bit yeah I'm not coming in for podcast practice that I'm talking about why that's why there is no atonement sexual fluidity we have to bang I'm saying like I just got pickup basketball like you play because you never met you you somehow have to buy kind no everybody kind of roof falls into line so sometimes you're cheap sometimes you're Indian I thought John Paul did a good job asking questions is the everyman I thought I thought Nikki actually was really great your life as a Leica sometimes you're the sharpshooter you're kind of the assassin when you're on a podcast a lot of Mike's right so she would just kinda like to do I throw in something every now and again you lease the beginning half that happens a lot love of focus but I think yeah I think she was singer for O choose audio I think you know you try going from dome about how was going as you do it and it was fun for which no good story with the most important things we got that story on hand and maybe actually help someone else yeah okay you know the subject matter itself to me is what they are doing psychedelics you know that's my love else it wasn't anybody's silly story so there is that you know I feel like there's a lot of stuff that can help you come out of it so if you can manage not hearing quality audio there will be a good thing who knows this this episode with the tech issues could we have three things recording audio just in case and they might not might work who knows yet is be patient with us please our equipment is elsewhere that's all we can say and them even Cameron is no action on it so I hope they they face fulfill their end of the bargain were there to replace it yeah because really thought a lot of love and then we don't get a lot back from me calling you about Meebo so the other digit temperatures is just no describing a product there's audit you remember the audio listeners and he tried a little bit but it was deftly like you said y'all were describing a mustache and I was like yeah looks like this and then you open this up and it's like the unusual words that yeah I couldn't tell if Dave wanted to really and I think I asked him get into the pit side of it in terms of like him doing it you know him describing it you know you said you said also that I do wrong that you this isn't this is it like a report card and this is all this is good the fact that we got it up and out and I was like I was the guy running around outside of the park and studio I lost my wallet I was frantically doing a lot of like I do want to work it was just a bad like I should I want to be in here so it's even weirder for y'all that I'm in the office while you are recording the podcast yeah I was in a really related will give a little subtle hi Todd you get this show started ready to take that sweat equity which I tell

a learning experience I've got all sorts of new issues so first of all you can get hemorrhoids from sitting on the toilet to figure that out I knew that before I got there wife but what I figured out I was doing was sitting on the toilet to avoid my kids asked me to do stuff they will bother anyone proven my guess so to sit on the toilet take my sweet time and one day that it just happened all was going far did you feel it yeah like his older son yeah was the first time that it was like late late came out I was like oh no really I had on the music as it does normally it kind of Pulitzer for slowly but this left for trip felt so it was good it's legit it was a big one is big one still will deal with it but I do it it's like really painful and I got buddy whose physician's assistant and it

friend like that yeah and menus Marine's budget but so in anticipation of my body looking in my but I trimmed down there and now I'm dealing with the worst chafing possible and I don't know what to do minutes just everything just it's a Florida snowball man no it also describe it is so sarcastic it just keeps frontages one thing after another keeps Avenue I wish to adjust them right at this point now every time I get you notice how you can best be to get up at go to the cross of all of them like yeah we'll get to it preshow we are trying to figure out tech issues are our friends across the hall to eight monkeys and dimming out bizarre frequent guest of the program I like to discover their office I didn't even put that together I was in the zone working on executive summary farm is his plan hydrocortisone can you pick can you get some with talking music mind that that's up from a bath I know I noticed it is asserted yeah I think you're going have to find my my blanket on the dude's

Kenny Loggins so how many days we had this this is like two weeks now well yeah and it's it it slowly gets better no matter, what you do always what I've done flipping the Lincoln high school gets better right will no remember that campaign several of I'm just I was okay of the hemorrhoidal way yeah it'll go away I guess because I'm not really paying attention to it are the ones worried about last crack tree thinking to death so a little grumpy you won't talk more about it doesn't mean does it affect your energy yeah in the crazy did the tell anybody know when characters write no will to hear that get off your lazy ass through the thing I care because it's funny right and that's what you know about is I know is brighten your day the funny thing to me is when your friends drink too much and barf like I don't know why I think it's because there's a punitive a little bit and when you bar I hate barfing so much that I think it's so funny because you can't breathe it is kind like this you know this pain is temporary sits up some real yeah and you brought it on yourself really really injured before you really start about life you know what my friends at right right even minor injuries will be funny if you're not injured wasn't next yeah what is it comity equals pain plus time overall over a little bit sometimes it's immediate and beautiful man should ever that I have what made you name it yeah Alfonso, you name it like like the name the hurricanes next will be be the name is you plan on another incoming the back of the last one out that Manuel was as I have learned a lesson here is a site trusting like busting your first night and you like I from now on you will be doing more that you know like or is it just a one time the I am asking the question I don't know if my blood snow sure like it it's about more prone to it now if it is one all out I don't know yes when I is like a baby I anticipate at least 25 more Chris Kelly letters are in the alphabet 26 yeah spells you anyway so many others that going on in life my life do the work part was that like I didn't know about a pooper not because the nerve endings down there you don't realize that that's what's filling out the poop the pressure on the nerve endings so when those get messed up I'm some consul revealing my fiction I don't what is that it is okay in an it's this constant confusion I get that a lot think you have mud but it's your sweat yeah it is what it gathers long avoidance that I've got an asset doesn't quit is this done take any days off notification personal days and that he had quit so when it's hot out in Florida and I walked around Mike, I do probably 99% of the time it's never issue but I have to check so good I feel you yeah upcoming I might just get going a little bit embarrassing on justice, get down this level with you wow to sweaty butt holes is definitely that's not right you live in Florida yeah everybody every man is that I believe were thinking of the frequency of which I have to do this I Smith I know most of you know I run hot to yes so there's that part is well I'm sitting on your saddle which I'm sure would hurt all overly say Erica saddle share in which I highlight because it actually makes me sit up half the time my postures that I'm going like scoliosis most of the time I know so I've got I got kind of a topic that I did run by you before and I meant to we are Stu too many things anything else you got no no other things grown out of me or anything that's it so are we trying to shoot for with these episodes were given this one normal retraction for that 33 Mark we might have to do in the future or we might do my computer optimal what you got to talk about labels will keep sure the guy was upside so I listen to y'all's episode one of the few without me in it and dad I like the shout outs talk about what I was doing pretty funny and I was walking the dogs understand think about it about faking it you make it kind of thing and not Ruth not really related to performance of urologist just how many people I talked to in the startup game or you know how many business owners who talk to about how the fake it till you take it kindly it's like everybody I write that social media to me is kind of that personal scale yeah because it's it would follow Israel I like I don't like that I don't like it scope coin F what is if you're missing out right I deftly have it for sure I deftly got a check is a might why do I give a shape I should be happy for people that doing all these things I'm the person I want to do a bunch of different things right entrepreneurial different things I like the variety is the spice of life but II deftly was like I need to not you know when things are good and our own don't don't get jealous or envious of what you see a histogram of your friends doing direction I want to do that yes the other side me though I know I got your being included battle of the hall and you know what you want your kids you will be letting her know that you got your kids young if you're taking them controllers of diverticulitis was a huge pain in the ass like it's working a little over so that's nice but yeah only I told Shlomo to start my just to leave have anywhere and unpack so what I'm saying is I get that social media life on a personal scale. It was nonbusiness he know a lot of people don't show the bad stuff and when they do it usually like I don't have health insurance I got a car wreck here's a go funny right you know that's the bad stuff I used to take miserable pics yeah I'm a joke but kind of like we go on spring break look like we've not had a good time at all in college yeah and just have that would those be the only photos out there my wife and I do that sometimes reasons do like to be at a show behind stage like really exciting which is fake like the word out about time I visited that's good nobody does that I think it's real life yeah I think the regular basis to do that we take the ugliest pictures of himself yeah. January does that yes I think like I think there's a over sharing thing were you know I was trying to do the accountable wake up take a picture of the watch deal how many days did you make it I did about three weeks and you know it becomes unraveled just for a lot of stuff at home as far as time management you were still moving in God thing that cut that throws in a variable that I can't really control yeah and that means not sleeping you should be posing a weeklong snapshot yeah I just googled one's week will soak my whole thing was like New York I agree with you because I don't turn off anybody else or not more people I had more people talk to me about this 430 wake-up thing little bit like anything iconic consistently post online the idea was to be consistent to I've ever an issue with routine consistency I thought this would give me accountable to Connie did my wife thought I was become a dish bag with it sounds like okay but can't bum me out so I was like just I don't need to do that I just I'll do it on my own I don't need a posted but it didn't two people did reach out to help them yet the accountability is what it's about now it's if you know you're having to pose that thing that that feeling of not doing it that's what that's what it's for so there's that weird I don't know there's a duality to me doing something to Matt for some kind of campaign like that personal but self-improvement thing but II will get back to kind of fake it till you make it in my big thing I heard Chris Sacca in areas thinks Chris Sacca look this up okay he is one of the main investors of Uber he's one of Phil land shark tank guys always wears a cowboy shirt I don't trestle of that shirt I do because I wear rodeo shirt that was my state shirts I like it because it's like as Zuckerberg with it.just total gray shirts every day you just don't have to think about it is that with this guy does he does these Servicemaster you every day yes now it's up I think your pearl snaps I'm not sure but it's deftly nestled Western he kind of textile but if you feel it feels like an old glove, thank based on lies to wear every day what he lives in Idaho Silicon Valley got now there's Idaho I think her Montana because you can tell that's how good he is yeah so I heard him on upon a podcast I want to sit with Bill Simmons is like three years ago he talked about how he started up and he literally said he just faked everything until he made he failed already wants with an idea that he got so ingrained in that he was like $-800,000 in like of his own not even not even like investor something it was like he was making money doing something on the sideline trend is one part and it backfired and then he had to start all over and he had like law school payments 2% like that and so I'm butchering probably a story but the main the main part was the way she got through was praying he said he thought this like they could to make it attitudes it's an entrepreneurial kind of philosophy a little bit so a lot of startups want to immature businesses three years or younger I said you kinda have to say yes to a lot of stuff get your foot in the door that you might not do yeah video tell me there's got to be Sony video thank you… Yeah I mean it's your like the fake it till you make it think it's like almost like the negative connotations were you know because it's your right everybody there is an aspect to it for everything don't be a phony it's just like you're being adaptable when you're being your wanting to learn about it you know it's really you just can't tell somebody don't know what it is that you're trying to do what I was like hey an like there's a really I we have a project that pays a lot I need you to do Adobe After Effects on video that's a situation like okay I know little bit practical rest I'd say okay yeah probably got a problem and then take a couple hours and you scramble uniting my fellowship yeah and I mean there's the thing about it is like we say it's for immature visit but you know any sort of new anything any sort of new aspect of the business is going to have you know it's like you don't know where it's going you don't know what you're trying to do with it so a lot of us do in real life a nonbusiness you discover your life so you know how to do this right at home your late dads do this a lot yeah I'm mounted on a nonexistent TV before I got it yet and it's like I got it I'm done it before yeah it's a it's a weird ego attachment thing you know like why only our generation has it as much but like her dad's generation stuff like I'd much rather just look like a jackass trying to figure it out in the front yard and look it up on the Internet and then actually learn how to do something correctly you know both have extreme the sale points right to life our generation just feels like on the Percy got a knife and I like I do like the older generations they go Amanda figured out phenomenally talking from a man's perspective really meet or dad perspectives like yet you just figured out that's what you do that's that's how you do it you just say yes you do it they were really asking you if you know how a lot of time a lot of people to go can you do this not you know how true this with our generation it's the other way to the extremities are either your snowflake and don't how to do it in your very honest yeah but you're articulating in a way that says I don't know anything about anything or your expert because you watch YouTube videos yeah I mean I've seen deftly both sides of it but it's like is the desire to learn it they are or not you know like we've had people that sleep I don't know how to do this and yet the holder through trust that you did you try did you Google it first drive as I frowned and I knew quite what were really good one of top five skills we have to just be patient to Google stuff yeah like for real like you can find out almost any how to do almost at its all out there you just need to be patient and figure out what exactly you need to search for the search term keyword that's important you know you don't necessarily know what you're looking for the best lesson I got when I worked at dimensional fund advisors mutual fund company in Santa Monica was was it right and I know I do Excel but I didn't know advanced stuff and I would ask a lot of questions because I was told no asked questions will don't don't sit on stuff and so it's better to ask questions and not but that I that shorthand right just saying ask questions after you've worked it out for a minute yeah after you've exhausted all of your mental capacities so I asked I would ask when I do this if you look at formula on Excel and I think Rochon John Shannon shout out to my buddy nobody but he was technically by Boster over me or whatever and it hears all to implement missionary this anywhere in my computer type is funky for all like that for him no is addressing the that is I'm so glad that everyone is 2122 that's the best legend we live in an era where we can do that right like how fortunate are we 10 years before you could yeah 20 it was like my parents and stuff like I really have to resist not doing that you can just type everything here the so far. Phil tells the yeah that do not know your audience but like what what I really want to get to his energies, contagious rights will so you're having a bad day and you don't bring that to the office rights I I vent to you but I think that's more cathartic when were talking about stuff going on personally a all energies already happened and it's all it correlates so heavily with what we do here to because worklife balance is used for an agency or firm or whatever we are this office so phenotyping of you can bring positive energy and you can go home and bring that guy around right now yet maybe a pessimistic parts is your personality test yeah but you bring positive energy yes you don't love anybody out yet as you say people is way to observe eight people I does the will think not expecting the good that happened that they have a questions and not going to be overly optimistic to that that was extreme example to give a figment to make it were you can have delusions of grandeur right things are going well room the right direction yeah I definitely have been guilty of that yeah it's doubly contagious all that stuff Alicia a little meter so to settle her energies were doing today it's on Apple watch Tony agrees here is a quick energy so I want to say is you know you might not want to do the job you're doing and I was there right I wanted to stand up for as I got older and my professional career wanted to do some entrepreneurial things like this and the deal was like decent good that day job bring positive energy because if you find people out it comes back to you yet twice as heavy. The fact that negativity but that's that I heard that almost blows my mind for every email you send out you get 2.3 DAC really like work emails that's why like people to stop emails, died but for something to be reformatted with that but my thing is like it has like almost an exponential effect on slaves yeah for sure like Evernote that she is person you know for the worst attitude you ever notice how much should they have going on in their life bad right this is right it's you kick that dog to what it can also that psychosomatic way to become a star of the show like it can have an effect on you physically hello they can safari you can create this echo chamber neither way talk about that with the online world were you can create an echo chamber of opinions you can do that with like positive or negative, enthusiasm definitely socially online please let something pop off my best friends Lincoln song used to tell me he inmate he makes himself self smile more when he talks because it puts in a better mood yet that we had to do when you're talking Brian Aguiar yeah you make sure he likes if you sing in a single little smile will demoralize doing you know that the jammin out the car listen to George Strait yeah it's like when I I accidentally do bad traffic move that somebody offer something and they try to get up next to me big cheesy smile every time given notice like that's yeah hello that was truly exactly Laura hold the bottom teeth like a if you tie on you loosen it yet the group here is more tension for do you mean but I think it's a big thing that and if you're by yourself a lot we do a lot of work that's like Connor isolated it's like I'm in a jam out this website for this ad campaign it's a lot of work we are just sitting the computer by yourself what short-term memory don't talk to the document running his own, thank and sometimes you know if you bring negative energy into that they chose it yet chose to consciously work if it does that with or in general is going to be like that that way or your art so abstract no marriage pretty records of the like that that leak you have the removal of the art is the closest thing to your your whatever you call your energy you know at that time that your your paintings on their telling is just clearly creative but if you're doing work it might not show up as obviously but it's in a business sense to if you were totally transparent we we we promote that we are as transparent as we can, be but if you show everything how the sausage is made every business has a weak point rocketing like hey you find my books, the law does like to do in his mind is not we can't find a bookkeeper we want to use up like that's an example right there like a known asked to hear about the hat and then be like note why would we short while we tell people that everything right they don't need to know it's not that were hiding anything right yeah does effective run post social it is something about now anything is is is all family background Amanda Reuters else's think my hemorrhoid is the badness coming out who you know I didn't think about that but maybe were the good I don't know it's got to go back in okay second not like a baby to so click the I think I got Lance to the no I cannot cancel my buddies chickened out that will not get better this is getting better slowly the you bring positive energy to that situation right my and really this I thought of this because I've I've always heard on the parenting tip and this is kind number one in my book I'm not a parent to rule by any means we'll wrap up with two kids are under two but before we had kids before you thought about it I would sure like sponge off a lot of energy right will so whatever you like my parents didn't want to talk about finances a lot were did want to talk about what, like a cold Norwegian family lifetime very right and I don't talk about feelings a lot yeah you your family by talk about feelings yeah healthy yeah we try to it's really just like they kids alone while being human yet so there watching the humans they see the most often and if you're going to be however you are there and want to be like daddy or mommy and so that's if you end up turning what happens know right now I'd like I handle situations people think I'm impatient I think I'm actually pretty patient I just like to vocalize a lot it impatient whites bother me immediately like little stuff yeah but people thought cut me a line all the time I don't know why they don't notice they do it it's my superpower. It's so weird it's so weird by why superpower is getting the shootings customer service person anywhere like you'll be by physically at a target or whatever right of the three people Joel somehow picked the wrong one every time Orville get the most should get them a ship for nothing manager what kind of like you don't think it's a contagious energy to do but note it online I never kid now I just think like a lot of people think I'm a hothead I think a lot of friends and I like now I do for comedic effect but like you know if you if you have 12 items and you go in that in the express line at the grocery store I get perturbed talk I'll say something about out loud but it's 10 items or less just the fact that you counted on 12 is okay 20 why the real Nozick speed limit in no speed limit 60 with real speed limit 70 okay how about this if you do it I'm cool but you gotta be quick but you gotta have some potato combines the lighting right X like me can't be like how I do this you can't especially slick self checkout should find someone that only leadership that a baseline I'm saying like there is there is a subconscious energy to bring night I caught myself like I get frustrated and mumble myself up my son my dad was like no under pass it on my kid I don't do that and apply have that going off work I don't realize it well I think the you know young men are like so fall tool delicately really aggressive and stuff I think Dr. Firefox up it's just a young yet why me like early 20s ago I told the older you get in the older your kids are going to get your tires are going to become and the less energy you're going to have to get this off about 12 items nowhere in other fungus for dad to come to take HGH or some clinic that it humongous well enough whatever whatever does what if I don't if I am what hell if I feel a lot better have big no not to get Jack to cite have more testosterone at a later age can this up that this would be good for your wellness area yeah I don't know if it's the best you know so I know you're like 30 units like 50s 60s you want to start HGH very I'm talking really small really small doses doses of small penis really forgot that no why I think were good on that note oh I got a couple little things with the practical pragmatic stuff I'll probably do little tutorial videos and will maybe I'll throw in a Leica compilation is a makeup episode or notice the little one minute guys Gary V style will laugh this podcast lab interview ones are maybe longer and will have like 12 minute tutorial deals who knows but I do have to do a lifelike content like that for other stuff and I realize you know as much as we can give this advice out in the podcast sometimes some things are best but I was asked how to get on LinkedIn's provider someone brought up on heritable professional directory sometimes you gotta have like Justin's own little isolated video if we did that during the podcast episode become boring to be born here and I have to like, do it live on tape kind of thing right were loyal to your left yeah I rather just do something for a minute have that posted yet online to help people out position was supposed to be primary device bring anything you got to the table I told but so did you have something other than just you know you can so there's a site called fark.com that I forward you a bunch of potential work so if you're in a professional service I was on the roof your website clipart handoff will move that's that's alas stupid dumb choices with my kids but part.com we it's it's interesting thing I would say try to catch these these potential sites that can bring in revenue before a lot of other people if you dominate there you might have his niche so our listeners should know about that it was a it it's a website development like this people logging all for website developers write a bunch of stuff I was in the web development so if you wanted to do those kind of bid on it as as the company like us we have a certain amount of credits that you buy to bid on jobs that it's a marketplace I put around the United States I'll take any bids look at them and will give up like 124 credits this 116 credits and then you bid on those to get it going get the talks are pretty interesting up work is a similar thing but they don't do the credits back and forth system and so the reason this once good to get on now is because it is a UK thing first I feel like there only marketing it to the demand-side not the supply side which is so that that's why get so many Latinos, dad I literally cleared out 500 Boston you must love anybody on there so we we pulled in our criminal defense attorney client Brett Metcalf from Hillsboro to fenced off last Friday and I said let's do a dummy test like I've done other sites for Sega DUI to lipids, there's only one so so as the I did dummy test is the user trying to find professional services in the ZIP Code were in or the like city and only one other attorney and also that tells me my hypothesis prion one point that this is it there's not a lot of business the other thing I have if you want to website Toca works.com TOC of W Arkansas.com our business website not our part aren't brand-new sweat equity podcasts website all sweat equity conduct you if you go to our business I told her works.com you can check out this little chat option so you not succumb to gullies after software sites   Check box pops up talk to you. We've embedded that drift the Company really interesting to see a lot more spots that look like a real persons have a conversation with you yeah but it's just the decision tree yeah so you had to set that up so I set up the basic if you are going to cite China set up a basic the most basic it took me 15 minutes to bed the widget but it the more you use it the more we might be able I looked at our traffic we don't get a lot of people that contact us as we should if you go down to to commit it pops up site is up as my picture Jeff it's I like these things that create engagement online that work in the background for school and then I integrated it with R/channel the general oh we again that I got a little will want to write sildenafil and Cameron for coverage if you are I able to see that you get on it we could have life conversations and then you can set it up to only pop up certain hours really interesting stuff go drift check out our website Seo Seo WR RPS.com and I'll be on the bottom right corner will take about they do like a three second pause before it really pops up so you see a little chat option on the bottom right desktop if possible hello but Sue, so those are two of the pragmatic kind of advice things that this is what the shows about general discourse about business philosophy figure to make it but also want to make sure were getting into the site these little things that we we know about that were going out all the time revitalize the chat chat window show up on mobile yeah but now you know you tested on non-Wi-Fi it goes to trial so you good yes builds of the people change life we are make sure to share this podcast of love one friend family member Wells people trying to start their own business at around the job they're doing that's really the audience that we think we can help with new email by way no Eric and in law sweat equity product goes through so it is up there that you got some ideas you want to send questions I want more of a mailbag from from listeners yeah I like answering questions plus that does all the preproduction for us basically be great work for us were run spot file iTunes Apple podcast Run video YouTube Facebook Facebook page LinkedIn Instagram we got a group we got to pay attention to and toss questions and big things around the corner excited and were excited that you made it this far just like Shawshank redemption if you made it this far larger, further and it really knew the show was over room the classic reason when Nick snapped his the ops guy productivity on produce podcasts and eco-so you can check the waves on their so you can see breakout in the sections
