How do you stay grounded being like with industry titans and amazing people that you're meeting? How do you stick by those values that you live your life by? And what would those be?
One thing I will mention, I've worked for four billionaires and their lives are not perfect. And I know multiple people who have spent three, six, ten years in jail. And so when I look around when I'm in these crowds of wealthy and powerful people, first of all, a lot of them are not happy. And second of all, a bunch of them don't have their freedom. They're in jail. So it's not really what I want to optimize towards. You get that hubris and you're miserable. And so the key for me is to do my best every day, get a lot of joy out of doing my best every day and not iterate out of optimal. So if I find a nice balance like I have working for Robby, where I get up in the morning, I go for a walk with my friend, then I go to the gym for a couple of hours, I've told Robby when I was joining him, I'm going to be working out and fueling myself for the first five hours of every day. And I'm available after 9am I start at 4 or 5am and I'm available after 9, 9:30am and I'm available for the whole rest of the day. But that beginning is for my health and self care. And often you'll get all kinds, I'll get all kinds of offers to be on a webcast or do these interesting things in the morning. And I have to remind myself don't iterate out of optimal.

O processo de reconhecer limites, mesmo quando a vida parece exigir sempre mais.
