My First Million

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways * There are four ways to frame a meeting with a company leader: + I am doing this, FYI + I am doing this, but I need your approval + I am trying to decide between A, B, or C. Can you help me think that through? + Remember that thing we agreed on? Here is what happened. * Company updates or memos should address “What, Why, and So What?” * Fierce nerds are all in on the thing they are pursuing; they do not have a social thing to fall back on, and lack the emotional maturity to separate themselves from the competition * Competition is deeply personal to fierce nerds; they are fully obsessed * Being well-read allows you to connect dots between seemingly unrelated things and create new things * Get closer to the truth by challenging each assumption in the argument * A leader must surround themself with people who are willing to tell them the uncomfortable truth
