A mental model everyone should know: The Regret Minimization Framework. This is how Jeff Bezos used this model to decide to start Amazon: I went to my boss and told him, "I'm going to go do this crazy thing — I'm going to start this company selling books online."... This is something I had already been talking to him about in a more general context, and he said, "Let's go on a walk." So we went on a 2-hour walk in Central Park in New York City. The conclusion of that was, he said, "This actually sounds like a really good idea to me, but it sounds like it would be a better idea for somebody who didn't already have a good job!" He convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. So I went away and was trying to find the right framework to make that kind of big decision. I had already talked to my wife about this, and she was 100 percent supportive, saying, "You can count me in – whatever you want to do." It's true, she had married this guy with a stable career and path, but she was 100 percent supportive. So it was really a decision I had to make for myself. The framework I found, which made the decision incredibly easy, was what I called — only a nerd would call — a regret minimization framework. I wanted to project myself forward to age 80 and say, "I'm looking back on my life, I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have." I knew that when I was 80, I was not going to regret having tried this. I was not going to regret participating in this thing called the Internet that I thought was going to be a really big deal. I knew that if I failed, I wouldn't regret that. But I knew the one thing I might regret is not having ever tried. And I knew that would haunt me every day. When I thought about it that way, it was an incredibly easy decision. If you can project yourself to age 80 and think, "What will I think at that time?" it gets you away from some of the daily pieces of confusion. I left this Wall Street firm in the middle of the year, and when you do that, you walk away from your annual bonus. That's the kind of thing that in the short-term can confuse you, but when you think about the long-term, you can really make good life decisions that you won't regret later. * Summary Ask yourself: in X years, will I regret not doing this? • If Yes → DO IT! • If No → Don't bother. This can apply to any decision: • Should I switch jobs? • Should I start my dream business? • And more... * Takeaway: Optimize for Asymmetric Upside • Record content (podcast, video) • Write content (book, blog) • Go to a cocktail party • Move to a big city • Invest in startups • Go on first dates • Build in public • Start a biz • Tweet Shoot. Your. Shot. Life is too short not to do so. *** That's a wrap and I hope you found this helpful. If you found value in this post: 1. Follow me Arjun Mahadevan (Mr. LLC 🇺🇸) for more. 2. Re-post this, if you can, to share this mental model with a friend and to remind them to: Shoot. Your. Shot. Life is too short not to do so.show more

Corollary: The More Crazy Stories on Your Deathbed Framework

Arjun Mahadevan (Mr. LLC 🇺🇸)3 years ago

Asymmetric Upside Opportunities are 🔑 • Asymmetric upside is when the upside is much > than the downside. • Asymmetric downside is when the downside is much > than the upside. The goal is to do more things with "Big Reward" and "Small Risk"

Arjun Mahadevan (Mr. LLC 🇺🇸)3 years ago

And if you think it's "too late" to do any of the things mentioned in this thread, that is simply not true. Don't believe me? Here is the CARFAX.

Arjun Mahadevan (Mr. LLC 🇺🇸)3 years ago

If you need inspiration on how shooting your shot can truly lead to asymmetric upside results...

Love this story. One of my favorite frameworks.

Arjun Mahadevan (Mr. LLC 🇺🇸)3 years ago

I come back to this framework so much. My 3 favorite lines: But I knew the one thing I might regret is not having ever tried. And I knew that would haunt me every day. When you think about the long-term, you can really make good life decisions that you won't regret later.

Blake Burge3 years ago

I don't recall where I first heard about this framework, but it's been stuck in my head ever since. So simple, yet clarifying.

Arjun Mahadevan (Mr. LLC 🇺🇸)3 years ago

Such a powerful framework. "To break a mental model is harder than splitting an atom" - Albert Einstein

Eames3 years ago

Powerful framework to make decisions.

Jeff Bezos explains how he decided to quit his job and start Amazon At 30 years old, Jeff Bezos had great Wall Street job working at the hedge fund D.E. Shaw. When he told his boss David Shaw about his idea to start an internet book store, David replied: “I think this is a good idea, but it would be an even better idea for somebody who didn’t already have a good job.” That made logical sense to Jeff, but he ultimately decided that the best way to make a very personal decision like this was to project himself forward to age 80: “When I’m 80 years old, I want to have minimized the number of regrets that I have. I don’t want to be 80 years old, in a quiet moment of reflection, thinking back over my life and cataloging a bunch of major regrets.” And Jeff believes that our biggest regrets are acts of omission: “It’s paths not taken that haunt us. We wonder what would have happened: I loved that person and I never told them, and then they married somebody else.” Once Jeff thought about it this way, the answer was immediately obvious to him: “I knew that when I’m 80, I would never regret trying this thing that I was super excited about and failing. If it failed, fine. I would be very proud of the fact when I’m 80 that I tried. And I also knew that it would always haunt me if I didn’t try.” Jeff believes this regret-minimization framework is a useful lens for any important life decision. Source: Summit (Nov 2017)

Cardi B describes the exact moment she knew her marriage to Offset was dead and the painful journey of letting go emotionally "I also felt like my marriage, like, I felt the love dying. From my end, from his end. I was very lonely because I chose to be lonely." "I was saying, like, you know what? I [can’t] go through this anymore. I have to put a stop to it." "But when I said I was going to put a stop to it, ’cause you could say you’re going to put a stop to it and you could go a month without being around somebody. It’s not until... when you say so, it’s when your heart say so.” “I kept telling myself I will not contact this person for a month. I will not give in. I will not forgive this easy. I will not go back. I will not go to the pattern. I will not go through it." "But I was crying every day. I was hurt every day. I was out here in LA and in a mansion by myself. I was thinking about it every single day. And when your heart is not done, your heart is not done.” “Then I told myself, I’m pregnant. I’m going to accept my flaws, the flaws that I bring in this marriage. I’m going to apologize for it and I’m going to work on it." "And when I take accountability and you take advantage of me taking accountability, and you take that as, ‘See, I know she’ll be back,’ instead of me taking accountability and you taking advantage of that, it really just killed everything." "And while it was dying, I had a human growing in me, and I just kept thinking, like, what’s life going to be without this person? What life going to be without raising my last child without this person? What’s life going to be with that person not being my friend anymore? "When you have those type of thoughts, it would make you sad, it would get you depressed. It would have you lost.” “But I overcame that, and I am the strongest that I have ever been. I felt my strongest when I was 22, 23, 24. That’s when I felt like I was living in a power, and that’s how I feel right now." "And it took months for the heart to say you’re done, instead of my mouth and my brain. My heart had to be like, you’re done. ’Cause you could say it and you could take actions, but even if you take actions, if you’re not done, you’re not done.” “Like, I kept asking, around that time I was working with Shakira, and I was like, how the fuck did you overcome this? And it’s like, it’s going to happen and it would never happen, and it happened." "It took some crying, it took some thoughts, scary thoughts. But I’m here, honey.”

Harry about why he chose to do residencies in certain cities on Zane Lowe “I think it makes the show better. I think you can build something that doesn't have to travel every night. I think the show itself is better. I think there's something in this that allows me to like stay in my life while I'm doing it and therefore I think allows me to take care of myself better, which I think makes me better at doing the thing. It's not like I'm saying I'll never travel again, but I want to see what it looks like if you do it a different way. And you know, people in my band have like families now and kids and some aspect of that, too. It's really important to me that they're on the road that I would love to like have them and I don't want to make it like near impossible for them to be able to do that with me.”

🎥| “Already I fucking love this city. I love this country. I love the people. This was the first country as a band when I was about, when I was about 19 years old, I think. Um, it was pretty much one of the only countries I've ever been to really outside of the UK. It was the first country as a band. You don't have to cheer for me. I do appreciate it though. It was the first time as a band that, you know, it felt like maybe might have a few fans outside of the UK and I remember that being really, really excited. And I think we were here for about four or five weeks. We actually recorded What Makes You Beautiful. I know you like it but shit song. So... it was so this is, this is one of, there's not many countries that kind of grab me with nostalgia like this. And it's also not many countries that I would go out and have about a two hour walk, which I did yesterday. I'm not much of a walker, but I wanted to get myself out. It was really cool to see. It was really, really cool to see it with this, this country had a massive, massive impression on me as a young lad and I have it to have a lot to thank this country for. So, yeah, thank you. Thank you for being cool. Alright, it's emotional.” Louis Tomlinson on stage at #HDWGHWTStockholm (Via centr_mass)

(long clip & transcription ‼️) 🎭: if i was asked one year ago if i wanted to perform in Concerto, i would've said no. there was a different kind of event that i was asked if i would like to participate and i actually said no to it. because up until recently like a few months ago, i had extremely bad imposter syndrome. 🎭: i didn't feel like i deserved to stand on stage, i didn't feel like i was ready and i kept doubting myself and was like "there's no way i would be able to perform to people's standards and stuff" so i politely declined being in an event a long time ago. 🎭: this time for Concerto when i was asked to participate, i was thinking of the same thing too but i thought about it a little more. i thought to myself like "if you're not gonna participate now then when are you going to do it? if you keep saying no to all these opportunities, they're all going to slip past." so i keep telling myself, "if you're gonna do it now then when are you going to do it?" 🎭: and i was inspired a little by my recent short covers and dance covers because ive been planning to release them for quite a long time actually. just the thought of that made me think, "i'm trying to work so hard on these other things so why don't i just try to do this as well?" 🎭: so i finally decided that i'm going to try this time to step up on stage and i want to be the proof to everyone that works hard that if you work hard eventually something good will come your way 🎭: i want everyone to be able to look at me and be like, "if he can work hard and do what he wants to do, then i can do it too." i think that's one of the biggest reasons i decided to participate and stand on this stage is because i want to inspire people because i came from nothing 🎭: i had no singing experience, no dancing experience, no japanese experience. when i first joined, i didn't even know how to read hiragana very well. i didn't even know wtf katakana was 🎭: i'm always thankful for the love and support everyone gives me. if it wasn't for you guys, i would really have said no so thank you. i really owe everything to all of you that always around and always supporting #knoxclips thank you for not giving up!!!! 😭🧡

Crissy describes her decision to quit the p0rn0graphy industry abruptly after a spiritual realization. “While I was on a film set, … this guy came up to me and asked me if I believed in God and if I wanted a different life,if I wanted to be free. And I knew that was my sign.” “And we talked for a little bit and he’s like, do you want to go outside and pray? And I said, sure. I was on the verge of crying.” “So we went outside and prayed. We sat at this little table, and I asked Jesus to come into my heart. I repented of the things that I had done, and I had decided to turn away and I was never going to go back.” “That encounter was a spiritual wake-up call for me. In that moment, I realized I wanted to leave the pornography industry. I had been praying for God to give me a sign, and when that moment happened, I felt like He had answered my prayer. I knew I had to make a change, and I made the decision to leave, immediately.”

Liam Coen says leaving Sean McVay and the Rams for Kentucky is the biggest regret of his career because he chased money, made an ego decision, and realized he walked away when things got hard “My first year, we went to the Super Bowl and lost to the Patriots, and I’m like, ‘Oh, this is easy.’ I thought Super Bowls were just easy. Then I leave, and they win the Super Bowl.” “Sean calls me and he’s like, ‘Hey, Kevin O’Connell is going to get the Vikings job. I’d love for you to come back as the OC.’ I was just an assistant position coach there. I was the assistant quarterbacks coach. So that was another honor of a lifetime. I’m like, ‘I can’t pass that up.’” “Then it ends up being our hardest year and the most challenging year. We won five games. Kentucky called back, and we had just loved it there. It was beautiful. It was amazing. We had our first child there.” “I kind of chased some money a little bit, and also it was an ego decision. I wasn’t calling plays in L.A. I knew what I was getting into, but I did miss that. Not just calling plays, but leading, leading your way.” “That was my biggest regret, going back to Kentucky in ’23. I hadn’t lost a lot in my career. I didn’t have a ton of losing seasons. I thought it was a great opportunity to stick something out with a friend and an organization that gave you your first opportunity.” “I walked away from it when it was hard and went to a familiar place where I had success. When I got back that spring, yeah, I had some regret. I didn’t feel great about myself or the decision I made.” “At the end of the day, I probably wouldn’t have gotten Tampa if I hadn’t gone there, so it did work out in the end. But it was my biggest regret of moves in my career.” “We talk about momentum a lot as a team. You can feel that. You can feel momentum. You know when you got it and you know when you don’t. I feed off that as a coach and I feed off the player’s energy on the grass and when they have confidence and momentum I want to roll with it, I want to keep it.” “When you have it you wanna stomp on it, you want to make them feel it.. That’s where the aggression comes in, you want to hold onto that and put your foot on the pedal. And as you grow as a coach there are times where you might be like, ‘Alright, may need to kick here. It’s going to be one of those kind of games.’” “So you have to be prepared, know your gut, go with your gut, feel this, all that’s going on around you, and make the best educated decision.”

Matthew McConaughey reveals the three words his dad said that changed his life “I said dad, I don't want to go to law school anymore. I want to go to film school and after about a 5 second pause, he goes, ‘Are you sure that's what you want to do?’ I reply yes sir” “Another long pause. Then I hear, ‘Well, don't halfass it’” “I remember just beaming, hopping up just like Yes! My dad not only said okay. The way he said don't halfass it, it was also, okay. Let's go big boy. Own that shit. Get some leverage. Get some horsepower behind where you're going. Go do it” “I remember to this day and I've learned this later I think from becoming a father, part of what I believe happened to him and why he said that to me that way on that call was the way that I asked him. I wasn't really asking. It was, ‘I don't want to go to law school, Dad. I want to go to film school.’ I didn't stutter. He heard his son saying this is what I want to do” “What I think happened to him in that moment is what I think any father, any parent loves. You raise your kids in a certain way and you give them a guideline, a ladder to climb and here's the guidelines and if you do it this way, you're most likely going to have some success in life and it'll work out for you and then when we do it that way, we can be proud parents” “But what do we really want to happen when our kids are out of the house and they're on their own? We kind of want them to call one day and go, ‘I'm breaking out. I'm going my own way.’ And as a parent, we go, as much as it may scare us, we're going, ‘Yes!’ I gave my kid the confidence and the courage and the foundation to say they're going to go their own way” “In a way, I think every parent honors and loves that moment. I heard my dad, when he didn't hear me stutter, when he heard me directly say what I said. I wasn't really asking him. Even though I was out of respect asking him, the way I said it, I wasn't asking him and I think he felt that” “Don't halfass it”

I wasn't really asking. It was, ‘I don't want to go to law school, Dad. I want to go to film school.’ I didn't stutter. He heard his son saying this is what I want to do” “What I think happened to him in that moment is what I think any father, any parent loves. You raise your kids in a certain way and you give them a guideline, a ladder to climb and here's the guidelines and if you do it this way, you're most likely going to have some success in life and it'll work out for you and then when we do it that way, we can be proud parents” “But what do we really want to happen when our kids are out of the house and they're on their own? We kind of want them to call one day and go, ‘I'm breaking out. I'm going my own way.’ And as a parent, we go, as much as it may scare us, we're going, ‘Yes!’ I gave my kid the confidence and the courage and the foundation to say they're going to go their own way” “In a way, I think every parent honors and loves that moment. I heard my dad, when he didn't hear me stutter, when he heard me directly say what I said. I wasn't really asking him. Even though I was out of respect asking him, the way I said it, I wasn't asking him and I think he felt that” “Don't halfass it”

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

Anne Hathaway talks about pregnancy and reveals when she found out that she was pregnant: "There hasn't been a minute of press that I've done this year where I wasn't pregnant. So, I found out right before it all kicked off. And so that was just, like, the moment of realizing I'd gotten this incredible gift that I wasn't expecting really. That it was gonna happen and that I was going to have an... That, somehow, this best year ever in my career was gonna be the B plot line to what I have going on, you know? And the A storyline is so, what a plot twist. So, when I think back on this year, I have to say that and, not to make this sad or whatever, but there's a moment where the pregnancy solidifies and becomes really, really real and you can relax a little bit. That's up there for best moment of the year, too."

This video is the one Kim Runner shared with me in July 2024 about how to tell whether you or others are NPCs. I can vividly imagine the stickiness and feel of holding an apple in my hand, the sensation of it denting when I squeeze it hard, its smell, and even its texture. Honestly, I was greatly shocked to learn that some people cannot do this. Below is the transcript of the audio.⬇️ Have you guys seen this experiment where you can not only test if the people around you are NPCs, but if you yourself are? Check this out. And if you don't know what an NPC is, basically, in the video game world, it's someone that's not being controlled by a person, just a random computer-generated thing. And in the real world, same thing, maybe just someone that's not being controlled by a soul. So I heard this experiment on a podcast, and I thought it was kind of crazy until I tried it out myself. And it has to do with apples. And you can probably use any object, but for our purposes, we're going to stick with apples. So there are going to be multiple layers to what I'm going to ask you to imagine. And depending on how far you can imagine it might just depend on if you're an NPC or not. So with this blank screen, I want you to picture a red apple here. Can you picture a red apple? If you can, great. So far, you're not an NPC. Next, I'd like you to think of that red apple, and in your mind—you can close your eyes if you need to—think of that apple as green. Can you change it to a green apple? Can you see a green apple without looking at it? Now stick with me. We're getting to the good parts here. If you can picture a red apple and then a green apple, great, but here's where a lot of people get stuck. And I'm taking away the image here. I want you to picture that green apple in your mind, and can you go in, and can you pick up that apple? Can you manipulate it? Can you move it around? Can you in your mind be holding it, and then all of a sudden it turns from green to purple? Do you have the ability to do that? Because for me, I could, no problem. I could hold that, I could throw it, I could take a bite of it, anything I wanted to do with that apple, I could do in my mind. But the shocking part was, as I was listening to this on the podcast, one person, they were stuck. They couldn't do anything but change colors. They couldn't grab it, they couldn't manipulate it. It was stuck there. One person couldn't even change colors of the apple. But I didn't believe this until I tried it on my wife. And my wife, she could change the color—she could go green and red—but she didn't have the ability to manipulate that apple. She couldn't grab that apple, she couldn't throw that apple. I'm juggling this apple, I'm doing all sorts of things with it, but hers is just a stuck image. And I thought that was nuts. I thought just because I had the ability to manipulate things in my mind and control things, that everybody did, but clearly that's not the case. And this leads me down the path of maybe this is why some people can't grasp the topics or the understanding of not living where we've been told we live our entire lives, because they can't visualize it, they can't think outside the green and red apple. Now, I'm not actually saying my wife is an NPC, but I do think our brains operate differently. I do think some are more right, some are more left, some are right down the middle, and some just don't really choose to think. But try it out, guys, because I found it fascinating, and I would love to hear how you did during this little experiment. Put it in the comments, test it on the people around you, and let me know, cause I want to know if I'm in the majority or if I'm in the minority. But something tells me I might be in the minority. But guys, as always, this was all for entertainment purposes. I don't really think my wife is an NPC... (Female voice) Tyler, can you come here?

Asked Jayson Tatum if — given how everything panned out — he still felt certain that he made the right decision to return this season after so much back and forth: “100%. I'm very happy that I came back to be a part of this team, got back to doing what I love, to help give us a chance to compete for a championship, to prove to myself that I can get back to being the guy who I was, and hopefully better. And just to kind of defy what this injury means — not necessarily from a standpoint of, ‘I'm great look at what I was able to accomplish,‘ but to give other guys hope. Obviously I don't want anybody to have to go through tearing their Achilles, but in the unfortunate event that it does happen, that I can be sort of inspirational — if you attack rehab a certain way if you follow these guidelines, or do it a certain way, that it's not like a career-ending injury, that you can come back, that you can be yourself, that you can be better, that it won't take 18 months, that you can come back, whenever is right for you. So I'm happy and proud of the fact that I was able to do that, and unfortunately, if somebody else has to deal with this, they can look at what I was able to do and and have some hope and inspiration that it's not what people used to think it was. And, you can come back from this, and be who you were and hopefully be better.“

Shane Battier says returning to Duke for his senior year cost him about $10,000,000 but winning a national championship and becoming more prepared for the NBA made it worth it “I had a good junior year. I was All-American, averaged about 19 [points] and probably could have came out then. Honestly, it was more important to me to be an impact player when I got to the league, and I felt like I wasn’t there yet. I was a power forward in college. I shot threes, but I was a stretch four essentially” “I knew if I went to the league, okay, I’m in the league. It probably cost me about $10 million for that one extra year I could have squeaked out. But at the time, it matters to me that I want to start. I want to be a good pro for a long time.’ So that last year of work was really important” “The leap of faith going through that process, I knew for where I wanted to be, I had to do it. But what I learned, my readiness… it was great that we won, absolutely. But you realize it really is about the journey and taking advantage of the opportunity. I was super proud of that decision”

More of Harry about Aperture “The reason why it's called Aperture is like, you control how much light you let in to your life. And I think the start of this year, I kind of just decided I was going to say yes to everything. And the momentum of that has just brought, like, so many positive things in a lot of different ways into my life. And it's been a really beautiful time in my life. And I think also, just when I would play people the music, it was always the song that I played first. […] I want to say and where I'm at in my life. And I think there's nothing more fulfilling, I think, as a musician than putting out a song that you feel like represents where you're at in your life. I think sometimes, you know, you write a song and by the time it comes out, you've kind of been through a bunch of things, and you're not really kind of aligned with necessarily what is happening in the song. And I think I really felt it when we put As It Was at or I felt like, “oh, I feel like this really represents where I'm at in this moment” and that felt really fulfilling. So I think kind of I wanted to do that again this time. And just I feel great about, like, pressing play and going like, I want to play something. And that's kind of why it ended up being the first song.” - 102.7 KIIS FM

Lewis Hamilton going through his start procedure in detail. "Yeah, good recovery.... (Sorry) I'm just watching the crash.... Yeah, really good recovery and a good start. The start particularly was mega." "Basically, you know, people may not know but when we pull away on the formation lap you get a feeling, normally we're on new tyres in the dry so when you drop the clutch it just spins but today when we pulled away there was a lot of grip and straight away I was like okay, I have to change my process. You start in first or second gear and so I decided to make an adjustment to how I was going to do the start. Not knowing particularly if it was going to really pull off but then as soon as the lights went up and I engaged that technique, I was past everybody and it felt amazing." "And then after that I was seeing George off, I was second and then I had the pace on Max so I was like okay, maybe I can win this thing but overtaking here is very, very difficult as you can see so I had to capitalise and maximise the points I think second and third is great for the team but we need to qualify better so if I can qualify better today, this afternoon, whilst we probably have a dry race tomorrow, hopefully it can be more than that."

Tobi: If you don't read books, you live a lifetime. If you read books, you live a thousand, right? David: I'm going to interrupt you real quick because I took notes on this podcast six years ago. This is the first time I came across you and you said something that I absolutely love, and I had in my notebook, and I went to find when I took it. It was 2020, and you said, "Books are the closest thing you ever come to finding cheat codes for real life. You can access the entire learnings of someone else's career in a few hours." Tobi: It tracks, doesn't it? David: I dedicate my life to this, so of course, I'm going to agree with that. Tobi: Absolutely. I really think we need to shout this more from the rooftops, right? The one weird trick seems to be just read books.

📢| Young Multi addressed the latest situation “As you know, I am a Polish creator, and some international viewers who are seeing this for the first time don’t know my full history online or the Polish context I grew up in; that’s why I wanted to clear this up. So 14 years ago, when I was 15, I used a word in a video that I shouldn’t have never used. I never tried to hide it; I never tried to cover it up. That clip was publicly available the entire time in YouTube. I had the tools to remove it from the channel that uploaded it at any point. And I chose not to because I rather own it than pretend it never happened. I’m not using my age or where I am from as an excuse; that’s only for context. But the responsibility to understand the weight of the word was mine, and I came to understand it on my own. I already talked about this when I just started streaming, to my Polish viewers, before anyone dug it up now. But the video from this is long gone, so I don’t have a recording of it. You can take my word for it or not I’m not gonna push anyone to believe me. I said openly many times that I said stupid things in the past that i wouldn’t say today, that I regret, and I am ashamed of it. Often, I was the one who brought this topic up. Nobody was trying to cancel me or pressure me into talking about it I talked about it on my own. Also, the same clip actually came up once before, around the time I was first introduced to an international audience. And I didn’t address it then not because I wanted to ignore it I just didn’t feel confident enough in explaining something that difficult in English, which I said in my stream in Polish. It's not my first language, and explaining something properly without a context is a lot harder for me than in Polish, and I was afraid that the language barrier would make me come across the wrong way. I'm sorry for what I said. Now that I'm much older, I know that word hurts people, and I'm sorry that I used it. If after this u feel that you don't want to watch me anymore, I understand, and you shouldn't feel bad about that. However, for those who do stick around, I hope my behaviour shows that I genuinely changed and that I see a lot of things differently now. And like I said on the international Discord: liking me doesn't mean u have to defend me all the time. Unlike a lot of stuff that's just Twitter drama, I don't think that this one is; that's why I wanted to address it properly. Also, the one thing I want to address is that I've seen suggestions that deleted videos to hide something: that's not true. Like in 2017-..Like, you don't know the context because you've known me for like 6 months..But in 2017, when I started my music career, I deleted all my gaming videos and not just the "bad ones". I didn't want people to subscribe for gaming content. That was just a career shift. One more thing: I also have seen some accounts saying I reposted a meme referencing this drama today. You know the meme "somehow young multi has something to do with this". That's not true. That repost was from a completely different situation. I think it was about some Twitter ship-related drama and has nothing to do with it. I didn't repost it today. It was like a month ago, I think. Some of these accounts already know it's false and still haven't taken the post down. I think that's it. Thank you for listening. I cannot change the past, and I said multiple times that I'm really sorry, and I'm ashamed of things that I did 14 years ago. The only thing that I can do is to take accountability, and I don't think it's a "Twitter drama". I think the word has a strong meaning. I think talking about it right now is not some stupid Twitter drama, you know. That was my statement, and thank you for listening. [PL]Okay, I think that's it. I said what I wanted to say. You all know very well that.. Like I say.. There were some clips where I was saying some things, and it was a long time ago, but that doesn't change the fact that it was said. But I am ashamed of the things that I said. Just because you (Polish viewers) know the context doesn't mean that international viewers know the context, and I just don't want anyone to think I have the same way of thinking as I did 14 years ago. Many things have changed, and many things have changed in my view. So yeah, that's it."

📢| Young Multi addressed the latest situation “As you know, I am a Polish creator, and some international viewers who are seeing this for the first time don’t know my full history online or the Polish context I grew up in; that’s why I wanted to clear this up. So 14 years ago, when I was 15, I used a word in a video that I shouldn’t have never used. I never tried to hide it; I never tried to cover it up. That clip was publicly available the entire time in YouTube. I had the tools to remove it from the channel that uploaded it at any point. And I chose not to because I rather own it than pretend it never happened. I’m not using my age or where I am from as an excuse; that’s only for context. But the responsibility to understand the weight of the word was mine, and I came to understand it on my own. I already talked about this when I just started streaming, to my Polish viewers, before anyone dug it up now. But the video from this is long gone, so I don’t have a recording of it. You can take my word for it or not I’m not gonna push anyone to believe me. I said openly many times that I said stupid things in the past that i wouldn’t say today, that I regret, and I am ashamed of it. Often, I was the one who brought this topic up. Nobody was trying to cancel me or pressure me into talking about it I talked about it on my own. Also, the same clip actually came up once before, around the time I was first introduced to an international audience. And I didn’t address it then not because I wanted to ignore it I just didn’t feel confident enough in explaining something that difficult in English, which I said in my stream in Polish. It's not my first language, and explaining something properly without a context is a lot harder for me than in Polish, and I was afraid that the language barrier would make me come across the wrong way. I'm sorry for what I said. Now that I'm much older, I know that word hurts people, and I'm sorry that I used it. If after this u feel that you don't want to watch me anymore, I understand, and you shouldn't feel bad about that. However, for those who do stick around, I hope my behaviour shows that I genuinely changed and that I see a lot of things differently now. And like I said on the international Discord: liking me doesn't mean u have to defend me all the time. Unlike a lot of stuff that's just Twitter drama, I don't think that this one is; that's why I wanted to address it properly. Also, the one thing I want to address is that I've seen suggestions that deleted videos to hide something: that's not true. Like in 2017-..Like, you don't know the context because you've known me for like 6 months..But in 2017, when I started my music career, I deleted all my gaming videos and not just the "bad ones".

Vernon Davis says Mike Singletary called him out in front of the entire NFL, and says years later he thanked him for it “At the moment, I’d say I was selfish and not selfless because I was young. In my young mind, I’m thinking, ‘Who does this guy think he is? They brought me here to make plays and help this team win. I’m Vernon Davis. Why are you sending me to the locker room? I can help this team win. I don’t need to go to the locker room. Who do you think you are?’ That’s what I’m saying in my mind as a young guy coming into the league.” “But now, as I look back and assess the situation, Coach did me a solid. He did me a favor. Him being there was a blessing in disguise because I needed that. I needed to have that moment of being benched and going to the locker room. I made a boneheaded mistake. I got a penalty. I hit a guy, I believe I hit him under his chin, and Coach benched me. Coach knew me. He’d been there since I got drafted, so he knew how I was. He watched me, and he was just tired of my foolishness, wasting time getting penalized.” “So I go to the locker room. I do exactly what he tells me to do. I didn’t say anything. He came to me and said, ‘Come see me tomorrow.’ I didn’t know he was going to do what he did on television. I was at home lying in bed with my kid’s mom watching TV, and this pops up. I’m like, ‘Wow.’ At the moment, I felt like he threw me under the bus. I was thinking, ‘Why would he do this? Why would he do that? This guy’s crazy.’” “I knew right away that when I walked into that facility tomorrow, I didn’t know what was going to happen. I was furious, but I was also afraid of Coach Mike Singletary because I knew he wasn’t a pushover. He stood up in practice one day and said, ‘I’ll fight all of y’all until I win. You might beat me, but I’m going to get back up. I’m going to keep on fighting.’ Such an old-school guy. But I love that dude. I love that dude, man.” “We had a heart-to-heart, man, and from that day, from that moment, I got it. I knew exactly what he wanted me to do, and I knew what I needed to do for myself. If I wanted to stay on this team and if I wanted to be a leader for my teammates, I had to change my ways. I had to change my attitude. Thankfully, because I had him, I was able to be the player that we saw for the next 11 or 12 years. Because of him and what he did for me. Tough love. Nothing but respect.” “I don’t know verbatim exactly what he said, but it was somewhere along the lines of, ‘Son, you have to change. You can do better. What you did out there, we can’t have that on this team. Son, I know what you can be. You can be great. You can be the best tight end in the NFL, but you’ve got to change.’ From that moment, I started crying. I shook his hand. I said, ‘Okay, Coach. I got you.’” “I love him. He’s like a father figure, a brother. He’s all of that, man. I reached out to him when I was writing this book. I was like, ‘Coach, I’d love to have you do the foreword for this book.’ He said, ‘It’d be an honor.’ I was like, ‘Wow, that’s amazing.’”
