Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Arrington

Turning down that med school acceptance might cost more than you think. Listener “my initials are ARM” got into medical school—cue the confetti—but now that reality's set in, she's not feeling great about her only acceptance. The school is small, expensive, and far from home. Should she go anyway or risk reapplying in hopes of a better fit next year? MD/PhD students Michael Arrington, Shruthi Kondaboina, Jessica Smith, and M1 Maria Schapfel weigh the real costs of walking away from an acceptance, from the red flags admissions committees look for to the gamble of getting in again. They get honest about finances, family, and the very unsexy truth about how much the campus “vibe” actually matters. Plus, what to say if you do it anyway. Bonus: the MD/PhD students dish about why they took that road, while Maria counters with why MD is better for her.

Guest: David Heinemeier Hansson, CTO & co-owner of 37signals and creator of Ruby on Rails 37signals CTO David Heinemeier Hansson has organized his life around his passions: Writing, racing sports cars, and coding. “ Why aren't we all doing that?” he wonders. “Why aren't we all trying to optimize our life in such a way that much of it is enjoyable?”Part of the problem, David argues, is that it's impossible to find a creative or productive flow inside of mainstream work culture. Open offices, managerial over-hiring, and sloppy scheduling prevents people from reaching a flow state.“40 hours a week is plenty than most people,” he says. “... So many people today are focused on just adding more and more hours. They're not thinking about how those hours are spent.” Chapters:(01:19) - 24 Hours of Le Mans (06:48) - Amateurs in sports car racing (10:54) - Flow and meditation (15:25) - Mundane bulls**t (18:14) - Optimizing for flow (21:09) - Calendars and open offices (24:30) - Full-time managers (29:06) - Small companies (32:20) - Selfishness and work (40:21) - Taking other people's money (45:43) - Temptation (49:49) - Moderately rich (55:19) - “The day I became a millionaire” (58:56) - The hassle (01:03:58) - Achieving the dream (01:08:34) - Shopify and Tobias Lütke (01:14:50) - Trade-offs and downsides (01:18:43) - The impact of Ruby on Rails (01:22:02) - “I love being wrong” (01:25:37) - DEI and illegal drugs (01:29:49) - Not hiring (01:30:35) - What “grit” means to David Mentioned in this episode: TikTok, Minecraft, Mario Kart, Formula One, NASCAR, Lewis Hamilton, the NBA, Tesla Model S, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Steve McQueen, Jason Fried, Tetris, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory by David Graeber, Elon Musk and Twitter, the Dunbar number, Zappos, Google, Adam Smith, Stripe, Meta, Jeff Bezos, Basecamp, Zapier, 1Password, GitHub, SpaceX, private jets, Aesop, the Pagani Zonda, the Porsche Boxster, Lamborghini, Coco Chanel, LeBron James, Hey, Steve Jobs, Michael Arrington and TechCrunch, Y Combinator, Dr. Thomas Sowell,Punished by Rewards by Alfie Kohn, Grit by Angela Duckworth, and LEGO. Links:Connect with DavidTwitterLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

Med Students discuss their “Why Medicine?” answers. Dave welcomes newly minted medical and PA students at the Carver College of Medicine to share their first-week experiences and the challenges of adapting to medical school. M1s Sydney Skuodas, Michael Arrington, Alex Murra, Luke Geis, and PA1 Harrison Parker discuss what they've learned about time management, personal growth during “gap years,” overcoming imposter syndrome, and balancing personal life with rigorous medical training.

Don't worry about the shock device we're using, I'm sure they're fine, plus it was Luke's idea.

Whist I was manically refreshing my Crypto Fidelity page while smoking a joint praying for better spreads and a painless brazilian wax, it occurred to me that this new cycle will hit different. Alas I wager we will see less of the pitiful tech bros peddling nonsensical seasons of DeFi summers and meaningless phrases like interoperable metaverse masking their low confidence in newfound stoicism and Marcus Aurelius Bullshit- but of what is to come remains remarkably unknown. Deep in the confines of my own imagination, I still wonder, is it cool to Love Trump if my Bitcoin earnings finance my donation to a do nothing liberal organization. Alas, with prices higher than losers at Burning man I still remain on my somewhat asbergers yet violent quest armed with my baccarat bedazzled magnifying glass to discover if people are actually using this shit. I see everyone with a networth that can finance a qui qong instructor and a ski chalet in Verbier purchase crypto at Fidelity. Why? Because ultimately, my banker is my best friend. Show me a rich person lending on Aave save for Stani and I will show you an Alvin Ailey Dancer who voted for Trump. Ce n'est pas possible. I digress; My guest is the ever so fabulous hot crypto power mom fellow podcast host Fund Partner Keli Callaghan. I met Keli deep in the trenches of Covid in a Cafeteria somewhere in Gstaad. She educated me on the deep misrepresentations of both masks and Algorand, wildly misunderstood concepts that played a crucial role in the health of our society and their impacts will be studied for years to come. Despite her no longer being at Algorand, Keli drove its marketcap to astronomical proportions resulting in Keli's undeniable fame. She has over 20K X followers leading her to require a security team at Glitter Ledger Headquarters.Keli currently serves as the Partner and Chic Growth Officer of Arrington Capital alongside Michael Arrington. She is so much more than your typical soulless one dimensional crypto VC with no meaningful thoughts or insights. Keli has a long history of marketing and storytelling for brands in the traditional world of actually working. She also studies how to manipulate people and how to find psychopaths amongst us in a course that one must be specially recommended for. Her insights on leadership, luck, and career development are insightful without being trite or pathetic. She is smart, hilarious and could have hosted this show herself.

Oggi vi raccontiamo la storia di Loris Degioanni, founder di Sysdig, startup basata in Silicon Valley che a dicembre 2021 ha raccolto $350 milioni e raggiunto una valutazione da $2.5 miliardi. Eppure questa storia inizia a Vinadio, un paesino di soli 400 abitanti sperduto in mezzo alle montagne piemontesi. Loris ci racconterà ogni passo della sua storia con umiltà e trasparenza. Ci direte cosa ne avete pensato, ma per noi è stata una grande intervista con un grande imprenditore. Loris ha condiviso tantissime lezioni imparate nello scalare due startup tech, la seconda ad altissimi livelli. Quando abbiamo chiesto a Loris cosa lo ha spinto a ributtarsi nel vuoto per cominciare la sua seconda startup dopo la sua prima exit, ha citato un articolo di Michael Arrington di TechCrunch intitolato “Are You A Pirate?”, “Sei Un Pirata?” che compara gli imprenditori ai pirati. Spiega infatti che la maggior parte delle persone prendono le loro decisioni calcolando i rischi e benefici delle loro azioni. Ma gli imprenditori vedono il calcolo tutto al contrario perché traggono utilità dal rischio stesso. In altre parole, sono degli avventurieri.  Quindi vi lasciamo ascoltare la storia di un'altro pirata. Che dal Piemonte si è trovato in Silicon Valley a fondare e crescere una startup di Cloud computing, leader al mondo nei settori sicurezza e del monitoraggio dei Container, un'evoluzione del cloud.

Isn't that the truth?  In this episode, Mike and Blaine break down this quote from Michael Arrington.  There are several different reasons that people start businesses, but there is always a driving factor.  Maybe you have a cause you are passionate about, or you're just tired of not being heard at your current job.  Whatever your motivation is, there is an itch that needs to be scratched.  OH! And here is a special treat.  We will be joined by Roger Knecht, President of Universal Accounting and the host of The Acountreprenuer's Journey Podcast.  Today's Beer:Mike: Equal Parts Brewery - Logger BeerBlaine: Annex Ale Project - Force Majeure NEIPA@EqualPartsBrewing @annexalesWatch on Youtube at https://youtu.be/5cEFGhV_QmYListen to all our episodes at: https://www.mikeandblaine.com/podcasthttps://mikeandblaine.com/#smallbusiness, #cashflow #finance #beer #friends #entrepreneur #smbs #craftbeer Support the show
