Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q We talked about, uh, kind of like going against the grain and weird ways to make money that goes against what other, you know, main people in your category are doing. What's founders doing that's different in terms of monetization and building the business around that?
A So this is another idea that I didn't even, that wasn't even mine, really. Um, so I've become friends with Jared Kushner through the podcast, and he's a very sharp and fascinating guy. I would highly recommend listening to the episode he did with Lex Friedman, the ones he just did with my friend, Patrick Shaughnessy. And really, his idea was just like, you have one of the world's most valuable audiences. He's like, I know all the elite people in the world. They're all listening to you. Uh, you're the best in the world at what you do. He's like, his whole thing, and That he's constantly reinforcing. He's like, constant refinement of association. Constant refinement of association. And he's like, inventory destroys value. So, uh, just getting in front of the audience you have is excessively valuable. To any company. He's like, so take your time picking partners. And then when you do pick partners, you know, this is what you do. You have two long-term partners. You're on two year contracts with them, right? Uh, it's finite. It's like, like I just did this with the ramp. So I got to know the founders of Ramp. I think they are the best in the category. Uh, I spent a ton of time with them. Two of them are in Miami. So I've been with them a couple of times a week, and I have been for a long time, way before we considered working together. And I was like, these guys are fucking geniuse…

Q What do you, what advice do you have for, for people who want to get into physical books, but you know, it's hard for them to, to focus and they don't have, you know, it sounds like this is, you have an innate ability and you just kind of love these books. Like what advice do you have for people who aren't born with this?
A I don't, I don't know because like, I, I didn't understand that I just have a, like, a shockingly long attention span, and I think having a long attention span is going to get more valuable in the world, because I think, I do think, because of the tools we use every day, it's, like, shrinking. There's a great line that, um, Charlie Munger said, where he's just like, I didn't succeed because of intelligence, it succeeded because I had a long attention span. And, um, like, I, I'm working on an episode, uh, uh, on Jensen Wong right now. And what's remarkable is like, this guy's been in love with Nvidia and building Nvidia and running Nvidia for three decades. And he's like more interested in it today than he's ever been. It's like, that's the definition of a long attention span.

Q What else, what else have you learned from Daniel Ek? Cause I feel like, you know, he's a legend, no question, but Maybe it's in my bubble. I don't see him at the, you know, in the limelight.
A I talked about this where it's like, it's very bizarre. Like, okay. I'm almost at Shopify. They always do the joke that Spotify and Shopify, and then they kind of look alike. Um, you have a, a founder and CEO who's been running the company for 18 years, right? It's over, it's worth over a hundred billion dollars. He's only 41 or something like that. He, and yet he's still Somehow underrated. Um, I, I just think every single person, so I get to meet a lot of like remarkable people as a result of the podcast, and Almost all of them. I'm not like, it's not the same personality type, but it's the same kind of archetype over and over again. They're just like unbelievably intense and dedicated to their work. Um, and so that's it. I just left the conversation was just like, I thought I was pretty intense and I thought I was working a lot. And I'm like, he makes me look like nothing. So it's like, I just left her. It's like with a lot of motivation. We were right before we started recording, You had another guest here that was really big on Tony Robbins and like spending a lot of money to spend time with him.
