This reminds me of a great piece of advice from George Clooney:
“Just be their answer”
The interviewer needs an employee.
The casting director needs a star actor.
The girl is on a date bc she wants a boyfriend.
Just be their answer. KNOW you are it, act like it, and you will soon be it.
In a weird way, everybody is rooting for you. When you go to a job interview, the interviewer wants you to be amazing so they don’t have to look anymore. when you go on a date, the person wants to have an amazing date with you. If you make a piece of content, people want to see amazing pieces of content and they have no problem if it’s yours.
the instant you get into the mindset that people want you to do well, your entire world gets better. And you’ll be shocked to know this pattern keeps repeating in different areas of life.

the biggest life hack is to always have the audacity to believe you can do anything
without losing the child-like curiosity & optimism from all the negativity thrown at you along the way
at that point it’s not delusion but inevitability

🚨 Jay Roebuck says DRAKE showing up at YE’S Houston show could have BUSINESS implications, and floats Drake potentially joining Ye under LARRY JACKSON’S Gamma.
“I think he showed up to Ye’s show ON PURPOSE.”
Jay says YE dominates TOURING, influence and culture, while DRAKE dominates STREAMING, global reach and cultural conversation.
He argues putting both under Gamma could immediately change the power structure in music:
“If Drake signs there, they immediately capture more of the MARKET SHARE and honestly become the THIRD MAJOR.”
Jay even calls Drake and Ye “two of the most influential, if not THE two most influential people in hip-hop and Black musical history.”

At the software store I worked at, I had to sweep the floor. Wash the windows. Open the store, then do all the sales.
The owner and his partner NEVER were out there hustling. Never trying to talk to customers. Never even trying to see if he could help me w sales. Only thing I remember him telling me is that I needed to buy nicer suits, instead of the 2 polyester suits I had and the used dress shirts and ties I bought.
9 months in I got fired. Not long after, the store closed.
Taught me a HUGE lesson
If a ceo/manager doesn’t believe in their products enough to live to sell them, they are toast. No chance they survive. It holds true to this day.

🚨 $SPCX SPACEX CEO @elonmusk ON WHY HE'S RENTING COMPUTE TO ANTHROPIC:
"Before I rented them compute, I went and met with a bunch of people at Anthropic to see if anyone set off my evil detector"
His verdict:
"Everyone I met at Anthropic was very nice and conscientious... didn't meet anyone who seemed shady or deceptive"
The catch:
"I'm a little worried about the name... if you call something Anthropic, good chance it's misanthropic. Just like OpenAI is not closed... Midjourney is not mid"
His plan for AI safety:
"A week before we release a model, we give access to our competitors... I think competitors would keep each other honest."
