All right, welcome back to the Naval Podcast, where we post intermittently since the year

2020, I believe. We are going to talk about some how to get rich content. I've pulled out some

tweets from Naval's Twitter from the last year, and I got a little help from Super Grock as well.

And we're just going to go through them. Here's actually my first question. You told me that you

got an early copy of the Elon book from Eric Jorgensen. Anything surprising in there?

I'm only about 20% of the way through.

It's really good.

It's just Elon in his own words.

And I think what's striking is just the sense of independence, agency, and urgency that

just runs throughout the whole thing.

I don't think you necessarily learn a step-by-step

process by reading these things. You can't emulate his process. It's designed for him. It's designed for

SpaceX. He's designed for Tesla. It's contextual. But it's very inspiring just to see how he doesn't

let anything stand in his way, how maniacal he is about questioning everything,

and how he just emphasizes speed and iteration and no-nonsense execution.

And so that just makes you want to get up and run and do the same thing with your company.

And to me, that's what the good books do.

If I listen to a Steve Jobs speech, it makes me want to be better.

If I read Elon on how he executes, it makes me want to be better. If I read Elon on how he executes,

it makes me want to execute better. And then I'll figure out my own way. The details don't necessarily map. But more importantly, I think just the inspiration is what drives. Yeah, that's pretty

interesting because I think people look to you as inspirational, yes, obviously, but also

laying out principles that people actually do follow.
