🧠 What If You Don’t Disappear After Death? What if the moment your heart stops… isn’t the end? Some quantum physicists think your mind may not be tied to your body at all. They say the brain works like a receiver, not a creator. And when the receiver stops, the signal — your consciousness — may continue somewhere else. Quantum theory says the universe isn’t fully physical. It’s made of energy and possibilities. If consciousness is part of that deeper layer, then it doesn’t die. It simply moves beyond the space and time we know. This raises a powerful question: Is this what we’ve always called the soul? Science doesn’t have clear answers yet, but it has opened a door. And through that door, one thing becomes possible — your story may not end with your final breath. What if you never truly disappear? 🌌

Set is ready @ElonMusk We built it 25min from downtown Austin and can shoot anytime in the next 7 days on 1h notice. Humanity is on the verge of becoming a multi-planet species and spacefaring civilization. My goal with this interview is to help people viscerally feel what that future is going to look like and get everyone excited to help build it.

I recently read a biography of the Wright brothers and one obscure fact blew my mind: In the midst of a highly competitive race to first flight, Orville and Wilbur took multi-month breaks to travel the West. 🚨 It’s a narrative violation. The guys who invented the airplane had unlimited PTO, but you and I can’t unplug for a week of vacation. Because… EVERYTHING IS SUPER IMPORTANT. It’s false urgency. We live in the weeds, but when you zoom out and gain perspective, you quickly realize… Over the course of a year (let alone a decade), a week or two of downtime makes zero difference in the outcome. Intensity looks sexy. Consistency is boring. But over time, it’s consistency that wins. I’m talking about playing the long game. On January 2nd, gyms are full of Very Committed People going hard… but the crowd quickly dissipates. Few keep going month after month, year after year. Here’s another mind-blowing founder fact: Phil Knight started Nike as a side hustle and kept his day job for SEVEN years. In his epic memoir, Shoe Dog, he concludes that the only advice anyone needs is: Never stop. Persistent bits of effort compound in a way that heroic acts simply can’t match. You’ve probably heard the saying: “We overestimate what we can do in a week and underestimate what we can do in a year.” Most people live in a constant state of short-term urgency—cramming for the test instead of learning the material. To be clear, there’s a time to sprint. But remember, sprints only cover short distances. If you want to go far, pace isn’t as important. You can even stop for a while like the Wright brothers. You can meter it out like Phil Knight. What matters is that you keep moving and never stop.

A lot of top bankers in 1929 made the equivalent of $100M a year working 6 hours a day. I just read this in Andrew Ross Sorkin's new book, 1929. - One guy's routine was wake up at 6, workout, get to the office by 10, and home by 5. - Another took the whole summer off in Europe. The boat ride was 3 weeks each way. I’ve read about other examples of super successful people like this. Andrew Carnegie barely worked, Ted Turner (who built CNN) would disappear 3 months at a time to race sailboats professionally. But then today we see a lot of people talking about how hard work is necessary to do great things. They likely grinded to get there. But it's important to know what season you’re in. Don’t compare your spring to someone else’s summer. There are seasons to grind, and then there are seasons to rest.

Yesterday Lloyd Blankfein came to my office to record My First Million. Lloyd used to be the CEO of Goldman Sachs. It'll be out soon - you have to listen to it. I've met loads of billionaires and powerful people through the podcast. But Lloyd was the first person I've done a podcast with, I think, who was 1) powerful because he ran powerful organization that he didn't start 2) a big shot on a very global scale that's beyond just business. A few notes: 1. Being poor early in life impacts you forever: His father worked for the post office. He grew up in the projects. He became "successful" in his 30s (young) but growing up poor impacts you for life. 2. He has a cheap Netflix account: for example he still used the cheap Netflix subscription that has ads. 3. He wore a Suit Supply jacket: And he was wearing a cheap(ish) Suit Supply sports jacket. He's a multi-billionaire (I assume) and has a fancy life, but its funny to see minor ways where he's still cheap due to his upbringing. 4. He's a day trader: Lloyd's been retired for 10 years. His passion and hobby now is day trading. He made a joke that he had to put in a bunch of orders right before we started because he'd normally spend that time trading. He said he can't stop checking his phone because he loves it. 5. Only ~25% of his net worth is in an index: And ~75% is him buying individual equities. He likes big tech. The big players some of the secondary smaller ones. (He gave ball park numbers, so make sure you see my "~" sign). 6. Climbing a power ladder vs. being a business owner: Most people I meet with are entrepreneurs. I prefer the term "small business owner" because even if a business is $10b , most still act like small business owners in some ways. Lloyd wasn't that. Goldman was already one of the best when he started there as an entry level guy. I prefer being an entrepreneur. Suits my personality. But there was for sure something intoxicating hearing about joining a storied, powerful institution and being the CEO and steward of it. Prestige isn't something I typically think about - but I get why its cool. 7. He was intoxicatingly relatable: This guy is a power player. Not just in business, but in the world. US presidents, Putin, Warren Buffet, Elon Musk...the most powerful people on earth - he works with and they influence one another. And yet, when he talked to a peon like me...he was locked in, kind, charming, and very, very relatable. I can see why he became CEO. 8. He's a history nerd: Like me. He said the number one thing to study, if you want to be a great investor, is history. History goes in cycles, so it helps to know what happened in the past. He's passionate about the founding fathers, medieval era, and Robert Caro's books. 9. He didn't have work life balance: And that didn't bother him. He was high energy and seems like he enjoyed the grind. His career...he was go go go. 10. He had thick skin: during the Occupy Wall Street and mortgage crisis era, Lloyd was enemy #1 as he represented big banks (which is sort of odd given you can't even get a mortgage from Goldman). Protestors were outside his apartment building. I asked if it worried him. "No, that's what doormen help with," he joked. Numerous times, he gave me a sense of being quite tough skinned. I think he did a great job of internalizing that in order to achieve greatness, you'll have a lot of critics and that's just part of it. 11. He walked home (2 miles): What are you doing now, I asked at the end of the episode. "I'm gonna walk home," he said, "I've gotten nothing else going on." Ballers...they're just like us! -- I liked meeting Lloyd Blankfein. Found him to be sharp, charming, and very likeable. Its very clear why he's super successful. I hope to record with him again!

In 2001 I intercepted a partner at a VC who was trying to escape his office before our meeting was supposed to start. I ended up pitching him in his parked Lexus from the passenger seat. At one point he grabbed my laptop placed on his large belly which was pressed against the steering wheel and rapidly flipped through the slides himself. 2001 fundraising hit different

Publishing the outcome of several months of research on egg freezing and IVF, some of which shocked me. Most American women aren't told there are different versions of freezing/IVF protocols— and the version they're offered by default is often the most aggressive. In much of Europe and Japan, women get half (or less) of the same medication for the 'same' procedure and outcomes. The assumption baked into American fertility medicine is that more is better. More eggs help up to a point; past it, you're buying more hormone exposure and more risk — not necessarily more babies. Long-term safety data on healthy women taking these protocols repeatedly at these doses doesn't yet exist. The studies that look reassuring follow women for 5-10 years, not 30. Full essay linked below. I tried to write the overview I couldn't find while making these decisions.

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M research papers and made them freely available And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot. It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles. But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer. I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.
