You guys are NOT gonna like what I have to say about networking, but I’ll say it anyway… Billionaires still don't hang out with brokies. You might think that’s obvious, and you might be wondering: “Okay Ryan, so what? What does this mean for me?” It means you CAN’T: - Hack your way into the right rooms. - Proximity your way to success. - Get into the room and then become the person you want to be You become the person you want to be, and THEN you find yourself around the people you want to be around. I know that's not what you want to hear. You want the shortcut…the secret “networking hack” that changes everything and gets famous people returning your DMs. But that’s nothing short of a fantasy, my friend. You should do the things that earn you the right to hang out with the people you aspire to be. Build something real… Get profitable... Solve hard problems... Document your wins and your losses… Stop trying to get invited to the table. Instead, build a table worth sitting at. Then the right people will find you.

Ben Horowitz advice to CEOs “You want to be liked and respected in the long-run. Not the short-run.” “You have to be able to tell [your team] the truth in a way that you probably don’t tell most of your friends the truth,” the a16z co-founder explains. “Anthropologically, we want people to like us so we tell them what they want to hear. But on a company level or if your on the board of somebody’s company, you have to be able to tell them what they don’t want to hear. That’s the most important thing you’re going to say. And yes, they’re not going to like it when you say, but over time it can save the company.” Ben continues: “That’s what leadership is about. If everybody agrees with the decision, then you didn’t add any value, because they would’ve done that without you. The only value you ever add is when you make a decision that most people don’t like, and that’s where leadership comes in… That’s the thing that takes practice.” He gives Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as an example: “When Jensen talks about how you have to get to near-death to get yourself to do that, I think that’s true. It’s hard to build that [muscle of telling people what they don’t want to hear] if everything is going great.” Source: Lenny Rachitsky (Sep 2025)

Problems start with the unwillingness to speak or hear the truth. The conversations you’re afraid to have are the ones you need to have, because the conversations you avoid today cause your problems tomorrow.

The easiest way to win in politics today? Tell people what they want to hear and give them easy answers to complex problems. That’s not leadership. That’s not conservative governance. And it’s not what we are sent here to do. Solving problems takes honesty, examining tradeoffs, and a willingness to say things people don’t always like to hear but maybe they need to hear. From Hold These Truths episode 361 with Yuval Levin.

Dan Quinn said, "Sometimes as coaches and leaders, you have to tell them the things they don't want to hear." "I'm comfortable doing that because they know I come from a place that I care about them, I love them, and I want the best for them." As players, be grateful when a coach tells you the truth because it shows you they care. They tell you the truth because they believe in you and your potential. • They want what's best for you. • They care about you as a person. • They see what you're capable of, even when you don't. Great leaders hold you accountable because they know it's the only way to help you grow into your best self. It means telling the hard truths while showing empathy and belief in your potential. Great Coaches Balance 3 Things: 1. Caring for you - Great coaches want what's best for you. They care for you as a person and believe in you and your potential. This is why they hold you to a high standard - they see what you can become, even when you don’t yet. 2. Having high standards - High standards set expectations. It creates clarity and direction about what habits and actions are expected. Great coaches set the bar high because they want the best for you, not because it’s easy. When someone believes in you enough to expect greatness, it inspires you to rise to the challenge. 3. Pushing you to grow before your comfort zone - Growth doesn’t happen without discomfort, and this is where development starts. Great coaches look to challenge you and develop you over time. This means expecting challenges, facing adversity, and refusing to accept the status quo. Bottom Line: People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Leadership will always be a relationship business.

Pat Riley shares what culture really is - and why everyone has one whether they know it or not. "Everybody has a culture. A culture is simply a shared vision of what it is you wanna do to get to where it is you wanna go." "It's a shared vision of what you have to do to get there." Culture isn't a slogan. It's a standard everyone commits to. "It's up to the coach to create the philosophy." "You can take each one of those acronyms - hard work, conditioning, toughness - and talk about that for 30 minutes. But it has to mean something." Then he explained what great culture builders do: "Once you set the tone about what your philosophy is going to be - you have to paint the picture. You paint the picture of what it's going to look like." Words create the vision. Actions build the culture. Culture isn’t what you say - it’s what you reinforce daily. It's shaped by your actions and what you allow. ( 🎥The Why with DWade)

When you genuinely love someone, you don't tell them what they want to hear, but what they need to hear. I love my country and I love my people, which is why I warned them to stay away from these protests - they are a set up.
