the stuff that stresses you out is the stuff most people would kill to experience.
@kobiefuller, venture investor and former elite athlete, puts it simply: it's a privilege to be a founder. a privilege to be on an IPO roadshow. a privilege to have a penny in your bank account and another day to chase your dream. a privilege to be alive.

there's someone who's been planning to start that business for three years. solving every problem. preparing for every risk. still hasn't started.
@CharlieJabaley survived a brain tumor and rebuilt everything from zero. you think you're being smart. but what you're really doing is becoming paralyzed. the delusional one already started.

Kobe created Black Mamba when his career was falling apart. championships, mvps, 81-point games followed.
@CharlieJabaley did the same at 300 pounds with a brain tumor. Charlie Rocket says reinvention starts with one thing: identity.

everything that should have broken you didn't.
@CharlieJabaley, an Emmy winner who rebuilt his life after a brain tumor, calls that being undefeated, batting a thousand, never lost a game. the problem is humans are wired to focus on what's threatening them right now, not on how far they've already come.

you can only grow to what you're exposed to.
James Dumoulin (@tvmjames) lived in South Korea from 6 to 10, visited 20 countries before turning 20, and moved three times growing up. most of his peers never left their hometown. that early exposure planted the entrepreneurial seed. the adaptability built the rest.

the content formula that works for a 30 second video works exactly the same for a 3 hour podcast.
the first minute of every episode is a preview of the best moments coming up. that's not an accident. that's a hook working in long form.
James Dumoulin (@tvmjames), founder of School of Hard Knocks, 22M followers, breaks down why the formula is the same for any length of video. live from the @StartupGrind conference w/ @DerekjAndersen.

forget likes, comments, shares. the only metric that matters on social media is watch time.
every platform is competing against each other and they reward whoever keeps people watching longest. James Dumoulin (@tvmjames) built School of Hard Knocks to 22M followers by understanding this before most people did.
