Expect to learn what Toxic Compassion is, why Alex Hormozi needed to do damage control this spring, the reason you should just "be yourself", why getting what you want isn't actually a win, the reason you don't want to be Elon Musk, why trajectory is more important than position, how a terrible job can be a huge blessing and much more...
