Summary

In this episode, DC busts out his whiteboard to talk about three different comparisons of company growth vs. individual growth. In the first, the company grows faster than the individual. In the second, the individual grows faster than the company. In the third (and rarest) scenario, both grow rapidly—together. You’ll also hear thoughts on intermittent fasting, Managing Oneself by Peter Drucker, and Total Recall (the book) by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
