You summarized this entire tweet storm with two words, productize yourself.

0:06.1

Productize and yourself. Yourself has uniqueness. Productize has leverage. Yourself has accountability.

0:14.3

Productize has specific knowledge. Yourself also has specific knowledge in there. So all of these

0:20.4

pieces, you can combine them into these two words. Whenever you're doing anything in business,

0:25.5

if you're looking towards a long term of getting wealthy, you should ask yourself,

0:29.6

is this authentic to me? Is it myself that I'm projecting? And then am I productizing it? Am I

0:35.6

scaling it? Am I scaling with labor or with capital or with code or with media? So it's a very

0:41.7

handy, simple, mnemonic. I mean, what is this podcast? This is a podcast called Nivalen,

0:45.9

literally productizing myself with a podcast. You want to figure out what you're uniquely good at

0:51.3

or what you uniquely are and apply as much leverage as possible. So making money isn't even something

0:59.8

you do. It's not a skill. It's who you are stamped out a million times. Making money should be a

1:06.5

function of your identity and what you like to do. Another tweet that I really liked was, this was

1:12.0

not mine. Somebody else put this up. They said, find three hobbies. One that makes you money, one that

1:16.4

keeps you fit and one that makes you creative. I would change that slightly. So I would say,

1:21.0

one that makes you money, one that makes you fit and one that makes you smarter. So in my case,

1:26.0

my hobbies would be reading, making money as I love working with startups, either investing in them,

1:30.8

brainstorming them, starting them. I just love that ideation and initial creation phase around

1:35.3

startups. And then on the hobby that keeps you fit, I don't really have one closest thing I have

1:40.4

as yoga, but that's where I sort of fell apart. And I think people who early in life discover

1:45.2

something like surfing or swimming or tennis or some kind of a sport that they continue doing

1:49.7

throughout most of their life are very lucky because they found a hobby that will make them fit.
