ADHD is a superpower. "The problem isn't that I can't focus; it's that I can't focus on stuff I don't care about." "On stuff I care about, I can lock in and you’re not going to find me for months." So if you have ADHD ... "The first thing you have to do is reframe the task to find the autonomy."

Lazy work used to mean too little output. Now, with AI, it often means too much and more work for everyone else. tobi lutke call it "slop grenades." A "Slop Grenade" is when you let AI produce the work and pass it on without adding any value (including checking it). Someone else has to wade through it, catch the mistakes, and clean up the mess. You save time and look productive but someone else pays for it.

Ryan Serhant explains the art of the sale. "People don't want to be sold, but they love shopping." "I see a lot of people who are terrible at sales are trying to sell me the bed and they try to sell me the bed that I can then go and have a dream in. And that is not how you do it. You sell the dream first, bed second."

My interview with Kaz Nejatian, CEO of Opendoor. This is a rare look inside a turnaround, while it's happening. It's raw, real, and violent. Kaz took over $OPEN when it was months away from bankruptcy. His wife shipped a mattress to the office and told him not to come home until he had a plan to break even. Some of what he told me: • "All success is unique, but all failures rhyme." • The most dangerous people in a company are competent but not mission aligned. • Meetings are a bug in the system. • The comfortable lies that sink a company are the same ones that sink careers (and countries).

Your past explains you, but it doesn't excuse you. "I was last to be picked on every sports team. I was chubby, covered in rashes and acne growing up. I think I was counted out, an outcast. "I think your past explains you, but it does not excuse you, and so I do make an active effort every day not to let how I was brought up and everything in my past be an excuse for behavior, because I meet a lot of people who do." "How many people have you met who are just complete assholes and who are dicks and who are rude, and they don't value your time? And then they'll tell you, "Oh, w- what I've gone through." "Work incredibly hard, be incredibly nice, and endurance for the win. Everybody else will tap out."

The Doorman Fallacy 'You have a five-star hotel and it has a doorman, welcoming incoming guests. McKinsey or Accenture will come in and say, “Your doorman currently costs you X thousand dollars a year. We have defined his or her function as opening the door. We’ll replace said doorman with an automatic door-opening mechanism and an infrared human detector and we’ll save you $30–$40,000 a year.” They walk away, and they take the credit for the cost savings. Two years later, the hotel’s a catastrophe ... because the doorman was doing multiple things, many of which were human and kind of tacit. Security would be one; there are no vagrants asleep in the doorway. Hailing taxis, dealing with luggage, recognizing regular guests, providing status to the hotel—there are loads and loads of value creation components to that doorman which aren’t captured in the open-the-door definition." It's easy to see the visible things, but the invisible things make the difference.
