Summary
Today's episode is a keynote I gave at the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival back in 2018. I talk about practicality, self-awareness, and optimism. I discuss the importance of passion and how when you chase money you lose. I also talk about practicality and following human attention. So many people are crippled by options. We need to learn to ignore others' opinions and lean into the importance of time and start mitigating friction. I hope you enjoy this keynote!
