When Elon Musk started SpaceX, he didn't ask for a contract. He rewrote the terms. Eric Jorgenson 📚 ☀️ explains why: "Elon went to the people actually awarding these contracts and said 'We want an outcome-based contract. I want to be incentivized to drive down the cost. I want...

Joe Girardi explains why he knowingly allowed his pitcher Mike Mussina to make a mistake that cost his team the game because sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war: “He had an up-and-down year. He was in and out of the rotation. I knew that he would be really important to us in the playoffs…” “So I had to show Mike Mussina that I believed in him. I know the numbers. Manny’s a better hitter… I know that I want to walk Manny.” “I went to the mound and I asked, What do you want to do here? I know what I want to do… But I want to hear what you want to do.” “He said, I want to go after Manny.” “I said, Okay. I get back to the dugout… Put my foot back up on the step… And bam, he hits a double in the gap.” “The first thing I thought was, why didn’t I go with my gut? Why didn’t I go with what I thought was right?” “This is the thing about managing people. Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.” “I’ve got to get Mike Mussina… To know that I believe in him… And trust in him.” “As a manager and a coach… You always have to take all the blame… And give all the credit to the other people. I put none of it on Mike’s shoulders. Mike ended up winning 20 games that year. It was the only year he won 20 games in his career.” “Even though that situation didn’t work out… We lost that game… I learned a lot about managing people… And the importance of showing belief in them.”

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”

“You're not entitled to get what you want. I love you. You're entitled to earn what you're willing to go work for. And that's true in our families, in our parenting, in our marriage, in our companies, in society. If we want it, go earn it. If that's positivity, have positivity. I think and I am a positive person. I am jacked. I am excited. Obviously, you can feel my energy through technology here, I hope. Frankly, think positive people just need to get a lot stronger. I really do. I mean, I don't want to call them weak because people hear that differently but it kind of is. Look, if you want that positivity to stick, you’ve got to get tougher. Not sacrifice your love and your care and your empathy, but you got to get tough. And then we have to figure out how to love the people who are cynical because I don't think there's a ton of bad people in the world and I don't think there's a ton of bad people on teams. But I do think there are people who've been burned out. I do think there are people who have been through things in their lives. They've been through things in their company. They're experiencing stuff somewhere else. For whatever reason, they just kind of got run down and cynical and negative, or whatever. Or they're just wired a little different than we are. And I don't to hate on those people. I want to win those people. They don't have to be like me. They don't have to have my energy. But I want those people on my team. I want to love those people. And if eventually they choose that they don't believe in the same things that I believe in, I want to make it really clear and obvious that they don't want to be on this team because we're not about that. You know what I'm saying? I want it to be very easy, obvious, that, ‘Hey I should not be on this team. Because this team is full of very positive people who have great energy and talk to people, not about them.’ And we solve problems. We don't complain. We don't get defensive. We're real. I recognize I'm imperfect and I'm vulnerable to show you that about me. I want to be on that kind of a team. And if there's somebody who doesn’t believe in that stuff, I want to make it really easy for them to say, ‘Look, I don't want to be on this team. I don't wanna live like you guys live. I don't want do what you guys do.’ And then I really hope that that person leaves us and goes and joins our competitor.”

Trump was reportedly furious over Noem’s assertion during a hearing that he had approved that $200+ million ad campaign but she actually had told this story before and based on what the former DHS Secretary says here, it allegedly was his idea. Noem: He said, “Do you know those ads that you did in South Dakota?” Oh, and I said, “Yes sir, you mean my ‘Freedom Works Here’ ads?” And he said, “Yeah, those ones where you — those beautiful ads, you know, those beautiful ads, beautiful — you did about South Dakota. They had Mount Rushmore, all those things.” He said, “I want you to do those for the border..” And I said, “Well sir, I don’t know how that works. You mean the ones where I was a plumber and where I was an electrician? I don’t know if I can do those for the border.” And he said, “No, I want you to do those for the border, and I want you to do those everywhere — not just in the United States, but I want them around the world. I want you to tell people not to come to this country if they’re going to come here illegally.” And I said, “Well sir, we can do press conferences. You know, we can tell people what we’re doing.” And he said, “Nope. We’re not going to let the media tell this story because the media will never tell the truth. A marketing campaign to make sure the American people know the truth of what you’re doing.” And I said, “Well sir, do you want to be in those ads?” And he said, “Nope, nope, I want you to do them.” He said, “I want you in the ads.” He said, “I want you in the ads, and I want your face in the ads. But I want the first ad — I want you to thank me. So I want you to thank me for closing the border.” And I said, “Yes sir, I will thank you for closing the border.” So if you notice in that ad, we thanked him for closing the border.

Naval Ravikant tells his favorite Elon Musk story “There was a story that I read about [Elon] that really affected me,” Naval begins. “He was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla.” “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” Elon asked. Bill Gates replied, “I talked to my financial advisors, looked at the math, and it’s overvalued. So I’m going to make money on the short.” To which Elon responded: “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world?” Elon walked away in disgust and never talked to Bill Gates after that. Naval comments: “That’s when I realized Elon is a purist. He means what he says. Money is a tool for him to get to where he’s trying to go. And so I take him at face value… A lot of people set these audacious goals to inspire people, but they don’t really mean it. Elon I take at face value. I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that.” He continues: “Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America. He wants to go down as the guy who got humanity to the stars. And I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the, ‘I got humanity to the stars guy.’ He’s just like, ‘I want to get to the stars, and I have to make it happen in this lifetime’… That’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. And I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.” Video source: Scott Adams (2024)
