Vin learned a lot of his skills on the job and because he was passionate about it, he did well. So much learning content is available online, you can learn anything. Clients do not care where you got your education, as long as you can get the work done.

Sometimes your children might appear unemotional or cruel towards you, but It’s not about you. Often we tend to interpret their reactions through our own hopes and fears, but instead, we should be treating them independently.

With the increase in popularity and potential prize money associated with ultrarunning, testing is now done more frequently. Ultrarunning is pretty pure as a sport, but some competitors do cut courses and cause issues. The culture of the community also doesn’t lend itself to this since so many ultra runners are friends.

(1) Iterate quickly. Justin has been doing this since Y Combinator and never stopped. Speed of iteration is very important. (2) Be helpful and build a community that helps each other.

When writing code in Google, it's hard to not use a lot of Google tools that are proprietary. Dr. Hadsell’s team open sources things that provide a lot of value for others.

It may be scary for some people, but if you are able to break your life into a series of finite events, you'd start to wonder of all the ways you could fill your life before your eventual death. It is a way easier exercise when you know that your life is going to end.

Donovan describes it as a basic affiliate site that works like Amazon, but shows the prices in euros. It was a site for Irish people because it had Irish branding and support where Irish people could seek help from people in the same country with similar perspectives as them.

Kara tells her kids to skip "all the stupid homework" because in the workplace nobody cares for it.

Context switching, practice it. When faced with multiple tasks, most people will try to resist, and turn everything off so they could focus on only one task. That does not work, if you are kept distracted. If instead you teach yourself to go from one task to another, with the goal of finishing the new tasks fast and quickly getting back to the original, then being distracted will no longer be a reason to worry. The distraction will no longer appear distracting.

As a Junior at Harvard, Tony Hsieh decided to take over the student grill, but instead of selling burgers and fries like it used to, Tony would sell pizza which yielded higher margins.

Further, while most other students were only interested in running this grill in their Senior year, by taking over the operations as a Junior, Tony was able to amortize his costs over two years and to make more money.

Knowing he was the only Junior bidding on this grill, Tony was willing to be the highest bidder. He submitted his bid as "Highest bid +1 dollar," and naturally ended up winning.

Do you want to start a blog or a podcast but having difficult time getting started? Do you have a YouTube channel, and although you've uploaded a lot of content, you are having hard time being motivated to create new content? Are you afraid of what people will say about your work? Perhaps you don't feel like you've got something unique to share.

There are different versions of this question, but the core of the question is this - how can I make myself get over the emotional hurdle off creating the content?

All these kinds of doubts and fears that people have when it comes to putting yourself out there are natural, and the only way to get over these fears is to create content for the sake of creating value in the world.

Get comfortable with failing in public, and commit to publishing day in and day out. Consistency and persistency is key.

Do it for yourself, and do it because you are making something other people will benefit from. If you create content for money, or for fame, it is not going to work out.
