Key Takeaway

AI is transforming entrepreneurship at unprecedented speed. When a company like Anthropic can generate $6 billion in revenue in a single month—more than enterprise giants like Snowflake make annually—we're witnessing a fundamental shift. The key insight: we're not just using AI as a tool, we're in a race to adapt before the technology outpaces us. Start treating AI like your personal chief of staff today, not tomorrow.

Episode Overview

This episode explores the explosive growth of AI companies, creative personal applications of AI (from curing cancer to relationship coaching), and the changing landscape of entrepreneurship for younger generations. The hosts discuss Anthropic's staggering $6 billion monthly revenue, real-world stories of using AI to cure a dog's cancer, and how Gen Z entrepreneurs are building million-dollar companies while still in their teens. They examine whether the entrepreneurship-for-everyone mentality has gone too far and debate the merits of high-stakes educational experiments like Alpha School's million-dollar challenge.

Main Insights

AI Revenue Growth is Redefining 'Fast Growth'

Anthropic generated $6 billion in a single month, surpassing the annual revenue of established enterprise giants like Snowflake and Databricks. The company has achieved 10x revenue growth year-over-year for multiple consecutive years. This represents a complete paradigm shift from the traditional 'triple-triple-double-double' SaaS growth model that was once considered exceptional.

Different AI Tools for Different Use Cases

The hosts reveal their personal AI tool preferences: Claude for writing and creating, ChatGPT for quick tasks, and Grok for thorough, rigorous analysis. This suggests that in the AI era, having a 'toolkit approach' rather than loyalty to one platform may be optimal. Understanding which tool excels at which task can dramatically improve productivity and output quality.

High Agency Problem-Solving is Being Democratized

A man used AI tools to cure his dog's cancer by sequencing the tumor DNA, using AlphaFold to predict protein structures, and designing a custom vaccine—all tasks that previously required institutional access and expertise. The story illustrates how AI is removing barriers to entry for complex problem-solving, though regulatory hurdles remain harder than the technical challenges.

Youth Entrepreneurship is Normalizing Faster Than Ever

Gen Z entrepreneurs are achieving million-dollar exits in their teens, with the youngest generation (13-14 year-olds) already impressing 20-something founders. This acceleration isn't due to human evolution but to mimetic learning—constant exposure to successful young founders through social media, podcasts, and YouTube creates new mental models of what's possible at young ages.

Entrepreneurship Shouldn't Be Universal

While entrepreneurship is being glorified and promoted to younger generations, the hosts caution against making it the default path for everyone. Just as not everyone should pursue music or sports professionally, entrepreneurship should appeal to a specific subset of people with the right interests and temperament, not be positioned as the only worthy career path.

Notable Quotes

"If AI is so good that it can do all these jobs, you think it just can't do yours? Why is yours so special?"

Sam

"Make 1 million by graduation or get 100% of your tuition refunded."

Nat (quoted)

"We are killing it for how young we are. The 13-year-olds are now coming after us."

Young entrepreneurs (quoted)

"The regulatory was the harder part than actually curing the cancer."

Sam (describing Paul's experience)

"I feel like the guy who is the horse-drawn carriage guy and I've been driving this route for 10 years and it's a good thing. And I'm standing on the side of the road next to my horse and then a Tesla Roadster zooms by and I'm just like what the hell was that?"

Action Items

Suggested exercises inspired by the conversation.

  • 1
    Develop an AI Tool Strategy

    Don't just stick with one AI platform out of habit. Experiment with Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, and Perplexity to identify which tool works best for specific tasks (writing, analysis, quick questions, etc.). Create a personal framework for which situations call for which tool.

  • 2
    Upload Your Context to AI

    Follow the example in the episode: upload your personality test results, communication preferences, and work style to your AI tool. Use it to get personalized advice on how to communicate with colleagues, make decisions, or respond to challenging situations based on your actual personality profile.

  • 3
    Question Whether Entrepreneurship is Right for You

    Before jumping into entrepreneurship because it seems trendy, honestly assess whether it aligns with your personality and interests. Just because young people are having success doesn't mean it's the right path for everyone. Consider your actual strengths and what genuinely excites you, not just what's being glorified online.

  • 4
    Embrace High-Agency Problem Solving

    When faced with a problem experts say is unsolvable, don't immediately accept it. Use AI tools to research alternatives, understand the technical details, and explore unconventional solutions. The regulatory barriers may be harder than the technical ones—so focus your human effort on navigating those.

It feels like every day there's a new crazy story every day there's a new crazy story every day there's a new crazy story about AI. So, I wanted to do a little about AI. So, I wanted to do a little about AI. So, I wanted to do a little bit with you, Sam. Crazy AI stories, you bit with you, Sam. Crazy AI stories, you bit with you, Sam. Crazy AI stories, you know, one crazier than the next, except know, one crazier than the next, except know, one crazier than the next, except they get crazier every single story. I was talking to a friend and he was I was talking to a friend and he was like, "I was trying to talk to my boss like, "I was trying to talk to my boss like, "I was trying to talk to my boss uh about something and apparently the uh about something and apparently the uh about something and apparently the boss had made like four or five agents boss had made like four or five agents boss had made like four or five agents that he calls employees and the boss that he calls employees and the boss that he calls employees and the boss replied to the feedback of like, you replied to the feedback of like, you replied to the feedback of like, you know, like we need to create X, Y, and know, like we need to create X, Y, and know, like we need to create X, Y, and Z." The boss said, "Um, can you talk to Z." The boss said, "Um, can you talk to Z." The boss said, "Um, can you talk to my chief of staff about that?" And uh so my chief of staff about that?" And uh so my chief of staff about that?" And uh so this person had to go and like message this person had to go and like message this person had to go and like message the chief of staff and was like the chief of staff and was like the chief of staff and was like messaging the chief of staff and it like messaging the chief of staff and it like messaging the chief of staff and it like they weren't getting the answer that they weren't getting the answer that they weren't getting the answer that they wanted. And they go to the the boss they wanted. And they go to the the boss they wanted. And they go to the the boss again and go, "Hey, your chief of staff again and go, "Hey, your chief of staff again and go, "Hey, your chief of staff sucks. Like what's what's their deal?" sucks.

I don't we really like about people. I don't know if he he we he has any of those, know if he he we he has any of those, know if he he we he has any of those, you know, you know, you know, >> just a typical genius. Okay. >> just a typical genius. Okay. >> just a typical genius. Okay. >> He he did say a pretty interesting >> He he did say a pretty interesting >> He he did say a pretty interesting thing. So, they're growing so fast, thing. So, they're growing so fast, thing. So, they're growing so fast, right? So, they they basically he said right? So, they they basically he said right? So, they they basically he said they they've grown revenue 10x every they they've grown revenue 10x every they they've grown revenue 10x every single year for the last whatever 3 or 4 single year for the last whatever 3 or 4 single year for the last whatever 3 or 4 years. So, it was like 0 to 100 million, years. So, it was like 0 to 100 million, years. So, it was like 0 to 100 million, 100 million to a billion, a billion to 100 million to a billion, a billion to 100 million to a billion, a billion to 10 billion, and now they're basically 10 billion, and now they're basically 10 billion, and now they're basically going 10 billion to 100 billion is the going 10 billion to 100 billion is the going 10 billion to 100 billion is the current like jump that they're making. current like jump that they're making. current like jump that they're making. And this, you know, doing six billion in And this, you know, doing six billion in And this, you know, doing six billion in a month is is indicative of that. And he a month is is indicative of that. And he a month is is indicative of that. And he was like, you know, the crazy thing is I was like, you know, the crazy thing is I was like, you know, the crazy thing is I have to invest in servers, right? So I have to invest in servers, right? So I have to invest in servers, right? So I have to like buy inventory essentially. have to like buy inventory essentially. have to like buy inventory essentially. It's like a clothing brand. I have to It's like a clothing brand. I have to It's like a clothing brand. I have to buy all these chips and these servers buy all these chips and these servers buy all these chips and these servers and these data centers. And he's and these data centers. And he's and these data centers. And he's basically being seen as like a wuss basically being seen as like a wuss basically being seen as like a wuss because he's not going out there yelling because he's not going out there yelling because he's not going out there yelling like I'm going to do a trillion dollar like I'm going to do a trillion dollar like I'm going to do a trillion dollar data center like OpenAI. Sam Alman's data center like OpenAI. Sam Alman's data center like OpenAI. Sam Alman's doing that. And uh he he pointed out on doing that. And uh he he pointed out on doing that. And uh he he pointed out on Dark Cash's podcast. He goes, "The weird Dark Cash's podcast. He goes, "The weird Dark Cash's podcast. He goes, "The weird thing is like we're like one of the most thing is like we're like one of the most thing is like we're like one of the most successful companies ever, but if I'm successful companies ever, but if I'm successful companies ever, but if I'm wrong, like if I bet wrong on that, wrong, like if I bet wrong on that, wrong, like if I bet wrong on that, we'll go broke." He's like, "So if I bet we'll go broke." He's like, "So if I bet we'll go broke." He's like, "So if I bet if I bet on another 10x, but we only if I bet on another 10x, but we only if I bet on another 10x, but we only grow 5x in a year, we could go grow 5x in a year, we could go grow 5x in a year, we could go bankrupt." And so he's like, "It's a bankrupt." And so he's like, "It's a bankrupt." And so he's like, "It's a very strange situation that I have to very strange situation that I have to very strange situation that I have to keep like being conservative even though keep like being conservative even though keep like being conservative even though we have the most explosive growth and we have the most explosive growth and we have the most explosive growth and they're sort of limited on that." But they're sort of limited on that." But they're sort of limited on that." But now they're like the number one app in now they're like the number one app in now they're like the number one app in the app store uh on on Google and Apple the app store uh on on Google and Apple the app store uh on on Google and Apple right now, I think. Um, and so they're right now, I think. Um, and so they're right now, I think. Um, and so they're just growing incredibly fast. just growing incredibly fast. just growing incredibly fast. >> To put this in perspective, when you and >> To put this in perspective, when you and >> To put this in perspective, when you and I were 22, growing up in San Francisco, I were 22, growing up in San Francisco, I were 22, growing up in San Francisco, like trying to like make it big, the like trying to like make it big, the like trying to like make it big, the golden standard was triple, triple, golden standard was triple, triple, golden standard was triple, triple, double double, meaning your revenue double double, meaning your revenue double double, meaning your revenue needs a triple and then triple again and needs a triple and then triple again and needs a triple and then triple again and then double and then double. And that is then double and then double. And that is then double and then double. And that is how you build a uh once in a generation how you build a uh once in a generation how you build a uh once in a generation company. Now company. Now company. Now >> you were the winner if you were on that >> you were the winner if you were on that >> you were the winner if you were on that trajectory. trajectory. trajectory. >> And now it's 10x 10x 10x 10x. It's just >> And now it's 10x 10x 10x 10x. It's just >> And now it's 10x 10x 10x 10x. It's just a It's just We're not even in the same a It's just We're not even in the same a It's just We're not even in the same ballpark, so it's kind of hard to ballpark, so it's kind of hard to ballpark, so it's kind of hard to fathom. fathom. fathom. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's great. The bar has raised. Yeah. It's great. The bar has raised. Yeah. It's great. The bar has raised. All right. Next story. You probably saw All right. Next story. You probably saw All right. Next story. You probably saw this. This is going viral on Twitter this. This is going viral on Twitter this. This is going viral on Twitter everywhere. everywhere. everywhere. >> Amazing. >> Amazing. >> Amazing. >> Man uses AI to cure his dog's cancer. >> Man uses AI to cure his dog's cancer. >> Man uses AI to cure his dog's cancer. And uh the short story is there's this And uh the short story is there's this And uh the short story is there's this Australian entrepreneur who basically Australian entrepreneur who basically Australian entrepreneur who basically was like kind of like a data nerd. So was like kind of like a data nerd. So was like kind of like a data nerd. So his dog had like a bump on his back, I his dog had like a bump on his back, I his dog had like a bump on his back, I believe. And he, you know, was kind of believe. And he, you know, was kind of believe. And he, you know, was kind of like, "Well, there's nothing you could like, "Well, there's nothing you could like, "Well, there's nothing you could do." And so he said, "Well, do." And so he said, "Well, do." And so he said, "Well, we sure about that and he decided to we sure about that and he decided to we sure about that and he decided to enter the high agency Olympics and enter the high agency Olympics and enter the high agency Olympics and manually go cure his dog's cancer. And manually go cure his dog's cancer. And manually go cure his dog's cancer. And so I think what he did was some version so I think what he did was some version so I think what he did was some version of the following. He's talking to Chad of the following. He's talking to Chad of the following. He's talking to Chad GPT about like what he could potentially GPT about like what he could potentially GPT about like what he could potentially do. That gives him an idea which is to do. That gives him an idea which is to do. That gives him an idea which is to sequence the DNA of the tumor versus the sequence the DNA of the tumor versus the sequence the DNA of the tumor versus the DNA of his other cells. And the idea DNA of his other cells. And the idea DNA of his other cells. And the idea being if you extract the DNA of the being if you extract the DNA of the being if you extract the DNA of the tumor cells, there's some mutation tumor cells, there's some mutation tumor cells, there's some mutation that's causing the growth. and you take that's causing the growth. and you take that's causing the growth. and you take his normal cells and other part of his his normal cells and other part of his his normal cells and other part of his body or maybe it was a prior year or body or maybe it was a prior year or body or maybe it was a prior year or something like that and you compare the something like that and you compare the something like that and you compare the difference you would see that oh this difference you would see that oh this difference you would see that oh this tumor cells has some this is the tumor cells has some this is the tumor cells has some this is the anomalous part of the genome that's anomalous part of the genome that's anomalous part of the genome that's causing the problem potentially which by causing the problem potentially which by causing the problem potentially which by the way he had to like pay for out of the way he had to like pay for out of the way he had to like pay for out of pocket he went to a lab he was like hey pocket he went to a lab he was like hey pocket he went to a lab he was like hey can I get one sequencing done for this can I get one sequencing done for this can I get one sequencing done for this and they were like okay um and he got it and they were like okay um and he got it and they were like okay um and he got it under some research purposes and then he under some research purposes and then he under some research purposes and then he took that and he gave it to then he used took that and he gave it to then he used took that and he gave it to then he used alphafold which is the Google deep mind alphafold which is the Google deep mind alphafold which is the Google deep mind product for predicting protein folding product for predicting protein folding product for predicting protein folding structure. So proteins we kind of know structure. So proteins we kind of know structure. So proteins we kind of know we know what the genome is but you got we know what the genome is but you got we know what the genome is but you got to know how it's folded up the shape of to know how it's folded up the shape of to know how it's folded up the shape of it if you're going to actually like it if you're going to actually like it if you're going to actually like attack it with some sort of uh attack it with some sort of uh attack it with some sort of uh treatment. treatment. treatment. So then he using alpha fold figures out So then he using alpha fold figures out So then he using alpha fold figures out the shape of the thing then using Grock the shape of the thing then using Grock the shape of the thing then using Grock designs a singleshot custom vaccine goes designs a singleshot custom vaccine goes designs a singleshot custom vaccine goes to a lab convinces them to do it and he to a lab convinces them to do it and he to a lab convinces them to do it and he says by the way in this whole process says by the way in this whole process says by the way in this whole process that the the regulatory was the harder that the the regulatory was the harder that the the regulatory was the harder part than actually curing the cancer part than actually curing the cancer part than actually curing the cancer like getting the approval uh where he like getting the approval uh where he like getting the approval uh where he was able to actually do this and they was able to actually do this and they was able to actually do this and they would they would manufacture the vaccine would they would manufacture the vaccine would they would manufacture the vaccine for him for him for him >> approval from the vaccine manufacturer. >> approval from the vaccine manufacturer. >> approval from the vaccine manufacturer. >> Yeah. The the vaccine manufacturer >> Yeah. The the vaccine manufacturer >> Yeah. The the vaccine manufacturer needed to know like you don't get to needed to know like you don't get to needed to know like you don't get to just like you know you and I can't just just like you know you and I can't just just like you know you and I can't just go and make vaccines. So there's go and make vaccines. So there's go and make vaccines. So there's protocols in place to make sure that protocols in place to make sure that protocols in place to make sure that people aren't like manufacturing, you people aren't like manufacturing, you people aren't like manufacturing, you know, whether it's viruses or self know, whether it's viruses or self know, whether it's viruses or self treatments that could do harm and treatments that could do harm and treatments that could do harm and whatnot. And so they were able and then whatnot. And so they were able and then whatnot. And so they were able and then so he as he was doing this, someone who so he as he was doing this, someone who so he as he was doing this, someone who who already had the ethics clearance to who already had the ethics clearance to who already had the ethics clearance to do research uh on pets heard about what do research uh on pets heard about what do research uh on pets heard about what he was doing and they he kind of used he was doing and they he kind of used he was doing and they he kind of used their umbrella to get the vaccine made, their umbrella to get the vaccine made, their umbrella to get the vaccine made, gave the vaccine, cured his dog. Legend. gave the vaccine, cured his dog. Legend. gave the vaccine, cured his dog. Legend. Paul, you're a legend. I have a friend Paul, you're a legend. I have a friend Paul, you're a legend. I have a friend who has cancer and he actually works at who has cancer and he actually works at who has cancer and he actually works at OpenAI. I tweeted about this. I was OpenAI. I tweeted about this. I was OpenAI. I tweeted about this. I was like, like, like, >> I don't I don't particularly know why he >> I don't I don't particularly know why he >> I don't I don't particularly know why he wanted me to tweet this, but he was wanted me to tweet this, but he was wanted me to tweet this, but he was like, "Hey, I need one of these three like, "Hey, I need one of these three like, "Hey, I need one of these three drugs and I'm having a hard time getting drugs and I'm having a hard time getting drugs and I'm having a hard time getting in touch with the particular person who in touch with the particular person who in touch with the particular person who I can get the drug from." And I can get the drug from." And I can get the drug from." And interestingly, Mark Cuban reached out to interestingly, Mark Cuban reached out to interestingly, Mark Cuban reached out to me and was like, "Hey, uh, you know, me and was like, "Hey, uh, you know, me and was like, "Hey, uh, you know, give me your friend's cell phone number. give me your friend's cell phone number. give me your friend's cell phone number. I'll I'll give him a call and hook I'm I'll I'll give him a call and hook I'm I'll I'll give him a call and hook I'm on it." And so did Martin Skreyelli. And on it." And so did Martin Skreyelli. And on it." And so did Martin Skreyelli. And I was like, "Well, buddy, I was like, "Well, buddy, I was like, "Well, buddy, >> you want Batman or you want the Joker?" >> you want Batman or you want the Joker?" >> you want Batman or you want the Joker?" >> Yeah. I was like, "Uh, I don't, you >> Yeah. I was like, "Uh, I don't, you >> Yeah. I was like, "Uh, I don't, you know, take what you can get here." And know, take what you can get here." And know, take what you can get here." And so, um, he did. And, you know, now he's so, um, he did. And, you know, now he's so, um, he did. And, you know, now he's getting, um, what he needs, but I have getting, um, what he needs, but I have getting, um, what he needs, but I have to imagine he work, I don't know if I to imagine he work, I don't know if I to imagine he work, I don't know if I said this, he works at OpenAI. And I'm said this, he works at OpenAI. And I'm said this, he works at OpenAI. And I'm like, if you're reading this, you have like, if you're reading this, you have like, if you're reading this, you have to imagine that this is the next step to imagine that this is the next step to imagine that this is the next step that you're going to take, right? that you're going to take, right? that you're going to take, right? >> Right. Yeah. That's crazy. Um, is he >> Right. Yeah. That's crazy. Um, is he >> Right. Yeah. That's crazy. Um, is he doing the similar thing? Is he basically doing the similar thing? Is he basically doing the similar thing? Is he basically trying to self treat like is he trying to self treat like is he trying to self treat like is he basically using AI tools to come up with basically using AI tools to come up with basically using AI tools to come up with hypotheses to then come up with you know hypotheses to then come up with you know hypotheses to then come up with you know possible treatments for himself like possible treatments for himself like possible treatments for himself like what what's going on? What is your what what what's going on? What is your what what what's going on? What is your what is your friend doing? That sounds is your friend doing? That sounds is your friend doing? That sounds interesting. interesting. interesting. >> I don't ask him. I I let him come to me >> I don't ask him. I I let him come to me >> I don't ask him. I I let him come to me when things are going good. I I try not when things are going good. I I try not when things are going good. I I try not to uh bring it up too much. This is his to uh bring it up too much. This is his to uh bring it up too much. This is his second time that he has he's had cancer second time that he has he's had cancer second time that he has he's had cancer uh lost his leg, got cancer again. And uh lost his leg, got cancer again. And uh lost his leg, got cancer again. And so I'm like whenever you need me, let me so I'm like whenever you need me, let me so I'm like whenever you need me, let me know. He'll visit my home when he's like know. He'll visit my home when he's like know. He'll visit my home when he's like at a New York doctor. at a New York doctor. at a New York doctor. >> But I do know that there's this guy >> But I do know that there's this guy >> But I do know that there's this guy named Sid. Sid is the founder of a named Sid. Sid is the founder of a named Sid. Sid is the founder of a company called GitLab. Have you heard of company called GitLab. Have you heard of company called GitLab. Have you heard of GitLab? GitLab? GitLab? >> The like, you know, big developer tool, >> The like, you know, big developer tool, >> The like, you know, big developer tool, >> multi-billion dollar company. Yeah. So >> multi-billion dollar company. Yeah. So >> multi-billion dollar company. Yeah. So Sid and my buddy became friends because Sid and my buddy became friends because Sid and my buddy became friends because Sid wrote this article called I'm going Sid wrote this article called I'm going Sid wrote this article called I'm going founder mode on cancer. And so Sid has founder mode on cancer. And so Sid has founder mode on cancer. And so Sid has the same the same the same >> Did Sid leave GitLab to do this or this >> Did Sid leave GitLab to do this or this >> Did Sid leave GitLab to do this or this like a side thing he's doing? like a side thing he's doing? like a side thing he's doing? >> Well, Sid has the same cancer as my >> Well, Sid has the same cancer as my >> Well, Sid has the same cancer as my friend. So I don't know if he's left friend. So I don't know if he's left friend. So I don't know if he's left GitLab for sure, but he goes, "I'm going GitLab for sure, but he goes, "I'm going GitLab for sure, but he goes, "I'm going founder mode on cancer." And so he's founder mode on cancer." And so he's founder mode on cancer." And so he's hired this team of doctors and I believe hired this team of doctors and I believe hired this team of doctors and I believe in his article he said they are using AI in his article he said they are using AI in his article he said they are using AI to do a lot of this stuff. And so my to do a lot of this stuff. And so my to do a lot of this stuff. And so my buddy connected with Sid because they buddy connected with Sid because they buddy connected with Sid because they had the exact same cancer. So he's using had the exact same cancer. So he's using had the exact same cancer. So he's using SID's doctors as well to you know it's a SID's doctors as well to you know it's a SID's doctors as well to you know it's a fancy concierge cancer doctor and they fancy concierge cancer doctor and they fancy concierge cancer doctor and they are going through this journey of like are going through this journey of like are going through this journey of like trying to cure this very very rare uh trying to cure this very very rare uh trying to cure this very very rare uh cancer and so Sid who's the founder of cancer and so Sid who's the founder of cancer and so Sid who's the founder of GitLab who is a technical company so and GitLab who is a technical company so and GitLab who is a technical company so and he's a billionaire I presume then that he's a billionaire I presume then that he's a billionaire I presume then that like you know this is a very special like you know this is a very special like you know this is a very special person who could figure out these types person who could figure out these types person who could figure out these types of cases he's actually documenting on of cases he's actually documenting on of cases he's actually documenting on his Substack how he's trying to cure his his Substack how he's trying to cure his his Substack how he's trying to cure his cancer. It's really interesting. cancer. It's really interesting. cancer. It's really interesting. >> That's amazing. Um, all right. Well, >> That's amazing. Um, all right. Well, >> That's amazing. Um, all right. Well, we're wishing them the best. That's a I we're wishing them the best. That's a I we're wishing them the best. That's a I mean, I feel more um hopeful about this mean, I feel more um hopeful about this mean, I feel more um hopeful about this sort of thing than ever, right? Like I sort of thing than ever, right? Like I sort of thing than ever, right? Like I think the combination of AI think the combination of AI think the combination of AI and then on top of AI is I would say and then on top of AI is I would say and then on top of AI is I would say like the fact that Ompeic and these like the fact that Ompeic and these like the fact that Ompeic and these weight loss drugs seem to have done weight loss drugs seem to have done weight loss drugs seem to have done something that sounded like too good to something that sounded like too good to something that sounded like too good to be true. It's like well there is a magic be true. It's like well there is a magic be true. It's like well there is a magic pill for weight loss. Turns out there pill for weight loss. Turns out there pill for weight loss. Turns out there there actually is a magic pill for there actually is a magic pill for there actually is a magic pill for weight loss. that kind of like is a you weight loss. that kind of like is a you weight loss. that kind of like is a you know breaks a little bit of a mental know breaks a little bit of a mental know breaks a little bit of a mental barrier of like maybe you can just barrier of like maybe you can just barrier of like maybe you can just oneshot certain you know certain issues oneshot certain you know certain issues oneshot certain you know certain issues or or problems that plague huge or or problems that plague huge or or problems that plague huge percentages of people. So I feel more I percentages of people. So I feel more I percentages of people. So I feel more I don't know more hopeful than ever that don't know more hopeful than ever that don't know more hopeful than ever that there's like you know new new there's like you know new new there's like you know new new breakthroughs new inflections that would breakthroughs new inflections that would breakthroughs new inflections that would change you know how cancer treatment change you know how cancer treatment change you know how cancer treatment works uh over the next you know 1 to 10 works uh over the next you know 1 to 10 works uh over the next you know 1 to 10 years years years >> and if uh we totally butch the name >> and if uh we totally butch the name >> and if uh we totally butch the name botched the name so if we did whatever botched the name so if we did whatever botched the name so if we did whatever but the GitHub founders or GitLab but the GitHub founders or GitLab but the GitHub founders or GitLab founders butching up your company too if founders butching up your company too if founders butching up your company too if this makes it to you guys DM Sean or I this makes it to you guys DM Sean or I this makes it to you guys DM Sean or I because it would could be potentially because it would could be potentially because it would could be potentially fun if you want to talk about this on a fun if you want to talk about this on a fun if you want to talk about this on a podcast it would be actually fun to talk podcast it would be actually fun to talk podcast it would be actually fun to talk about that that that's actually super about that that that's actually super about that that that's actually super fascinating but it is crazy that this fascinating but it is crazy that this fascinating but it is crazy that this stuff still exists. Like when you think stuff still exists. Like when you think stuff still exists. Like when you think about like I remember when Livstrong about like I remember when Livstrong about like I remember when Livstrong came out and that was like okay someone came out and that was like okay someone came out and that was like okay someone famous finally has cancer when they were famous finally has cancer when they were famous finally has cancer when they were young. We're going to bring awareness to young. We're going to bring awareness to young. We're going to bring awareness to this thing and now when you think about this thing and now when you think about this thing and now when you think about all the billions and billions of dollars all the billions and billions of dollars all the billions and billions of dollars I think um what's her name that Kate I think um what's her name that Kate I think um what's her name that Kate Middleton had it like it is kind of Middleton had it like it is kind of Middleton had it like it is kind of crazy how like this still exists the way crazy how like this still exists the way crazy how like this still exists the way it does. it does. it does. >> Yeah. Yeah. They just needed you know >> Yeah. Yeah. They just needed you know >> Yeah. Yeah. They just needed you know you needed the technology and then you you needed the technology and then you you needed the technology and then you needed the the um sort of the the will. needed the the um sort of the the will. needed the the um sort of the the will. Here's another thing that makes me Here's another thing that makes me Here's another thing that makes me hopeful. So Nat, who I think you know hopeful. So Nat, who I think you know hopeful. So Nat, who I think you know Nat well Nat well Nat well >> good buddies with Nat. >> good buddies with Nat. >> good buddies with Nat. >> So he just tweeted out this really >> So he just tweeted out this really >> So he just tweeted out this really interesting thing. He goes, "Make 1 interesting thing. He goes, "Make 1 interesting thing. He goes, "Make 1 million by graduation or get 100% of million by graduation or get 100% of million by graduation or get 100% of your tuition refunded." That's the your tuition refunded." That's the your tuition refunded." That's the premise of the new high school for premise of the new high school for premise of the new high school for entrepreneurs that Cameron and I are entrepreneurs that Cameron and I are entrepreneurs that Cameron and I are launching this fall through Alpha launching this fall through Alpha launching this fall through Alpha School. We need two or three coaches to School. We need two or three coaches to School. We need two or three coaches to make this happen. So, the premise is make this happen. So, the premise is make this happen. So, the premise is they're creating a new high school using they're creating a new high school using they're creating a new high school using alpha schools technology, which we've alpha schools technology, which we've alpha schools technology, which we've talked about before, the AI education talked about before, the AI education talked about before, the AI education software that um Joe Lamont has put a software that um Joe Lamont has put a software that um Joe Lamont has put a billion dollars into building that is uh billion dollars into building that is uh billion dollars into building that is uh getting tons and tons of buzz getting tons and tons of buzz getting tons and tons of buzz everywhere.

I I just don't think that's >> Yeah. I I just don't think that's >> Yeah. I I just don't think that's necessary. What What were you What were necessary. What What were you What were necessary. What What were you What were you saying? I was saying it's too you saying? I was saying it's too you saying? I was saying it's too aligned as in you didn't need to make it aligned as in you didn't need to make it aligned as in you didn't need to make it a million. You could have got you could a million. You could have got you could a million. You could have got you could have uh you know what's the real thing have uh you know what's the real thing have uh you know what's the real thing basically? I would say um if you did a h basically? I would say um if you did a h basically? I would say um if you did a h 100,000 this would have been I mean that 100,000 this would have been I mean that 100,000 this would have been I mean that would still be incredibly successful would still be incredibly successful would still be incredibly successful right? If you can make make 100 grand or right? If you can make make 100 grand or right? If you can make make 100 grand or 150 grand or something like that. But of 150 grand or something like that. But of 150 grand or something like that. But of course that's not the marketing message course that's not the marketing message course that's not the marketing message that would stick. The reason this got that would stick. The reason this got that would stick. The reason this got onto the show today is cuz he's had a onto the show today is cuz he's had a onto the show today is cuz he's had a million. So, in that sense, it's the million. So, in that sense, it's the million. So, in that sense, it's the absolute right number to choose a uh if absolute right number to choose a uh if absolute right number to choose a uh if nothing else, it is a PR offer. And um nothing else, it is a PR offer. And um nothing else, it is a PR offer. And um you know, I don't know. I don't know you know, I don't know. I don't know you know, I don't know. I don't know what that does to the business if that what that does to the business if that what that does to the business if that distorts things long term, but like in distorts things long term, but like in distorts things long term, but like in the short term, you get the big benefit the short term, you get the big benefit the short term, you get the big benefit of putting something out there that is of putting something out there that is of putting something out there that is buzzworthy. It's like when Peter Teal buzzworthy. It's like when Peter Teal buzzworthy. It's like when Peter Teal did the Teal Fellowship and I think what did the Teal Fellowship and I think what did the Teal Fellowship and I think what he did was I think he only spent $2 he did was I think he only spent $2 he did was I think he only spent $2 million out of pocket to do the Teal million out of pocket to do the Teal million out of pocket to do the Teal Fellowship, which $2 million is not Fellowship, which $2 million is not Fellowship, which $2 million is not nothing, but in the world of nothing, but in the world of nothing, but in the world of billionaires giving money for for billionaires giving money for for billionaires giving money for for causes, there's plenty of people who causes, there's plenty of people who causes, there's plenty of people who write bigger checks than that. So why write bigger checks than that. So why write bigger checks than that. So why did the Teal Fellowship get so much did the Teal Fellowship get so much did the Teal Fellowship get so much notoriety is because he attached it to a notoriety is because he attached it to a notoriety is because he attached it to a very spiky message. And the spiky very spiky message. And the spiky very spiky message. And the spiky message was universities are a bubble. message was universities are a bubble. message was universities are a bubble. And like the housing bubble and other And like the housing bubble and other And like the housing bubble and other bubbles, it's uh it's a bubble because bubbles, it's uh it's a bubble because bubbles, it's uh it's a bubble because nobody else thinks it's a bubble. You nobody else thinks it's a bubble. You nobody else thinks it's a bubble. You know, that's the only way you get to be know, that's the only way you get to be know, that's the only way you get to be a big bubble is when everybody sort of a big bubble is when everybody sort of a big bubble is when everybody sort of assumes education's great. How could you assumes education's great. How could you assumes education's great. How could you you can't criticize education. Housing's you can't criticize education. Housing's you can't criticize education. Housing's great. Everybody should own a home. You great. Everybody should own a home. You great. Everybody should own a home. You can't criticize that. And um what he can't criticize that. And um what he can't criticize that. And um what he said was not just I'll give this to said was not just I'll give this to said was not just I'll give this to people who have good ideas, but I'll pay people who have good ideas, but I'll pay people who have good ideas, but I'll pay you to drop out of college. literally you to drop out of college. literally you to drop out of college. literally the opposite of, "Hey kid, stay in the opposite of, "Hey kid, stay in the opposite of, "Hey kid, stay in school." Right? The the old message school." Right? The the old message school." Right? The the old message you're supposed to say. And because it you're supposed to say. And because it you're supposed to say. And because it was so spiky, he got tons and tons of was so spiky, he got tons and tons of was so spiky, he got tons and tons of notoriety because he got tons and tons notoriety because he got tons and tons notoriety because he got tons and tons of notoriety. He attracted the right of notoriety. He attracted the right of notoriety. He attracted the right people cuz the message got far enough people cuz the message got far enough people cuz the message got far enough where those like, you know, the Vitalic where those like, you know, the Vitalic where those like, you know, the Vitalic Buterans of the world, the Dylan Dillons Buterans of the world, the Dylan Dillons Buterans of the world, the Dylan Dillons of the world who create Figma, they of the world who create Figma, they of the world who create Figma, they heard the message and were able to apply heard the message and were able to apply heard the message and were able to apply for the Teal Fellowship and and came in for the Teal Fellowship and and came in for the Teal Fellowship and and came in and made it happen. And so I think maybe and made it happen. And so I think maybe and made it happen. And so I think maybe this this might be the right approach this this might be the right approach this this might be the right approach like the X-P prize where you have to do like the X-P prize where you have to do like the X-P prize where you have to do something novel and and noteworthy and something novel and and noteworthy and something novel and and noteworthy and almost polarizing in order to make it almost polarizing in order to make it almost polarizing in order to make it work. work. work. >> So let me tell you a quick story.

I never even saw I didn't even know like I don't think didn't even know like I don't think didn't even know like I don't think until I was maybe 18 years old did I until I was maybe 18 years old did I until I was maybe 18 years old did I even know an entrepreneur like I even know an entrepreneur like I even know an entrepreneur like I actually had met an entrepreneur who actually had met an entrepreneur who actually had met an entrepreneur who told me that oh I have this business and told me that oh I have this business and told me that oh I have this business and here's like how it works. I never here's like how it works. I never here's like how it works. I never listened to a podcast about listened to a podcast about listened to a podcast about entrepreneurship. I I never watched a entrepreneurship. I I never watched a entrepreneurship. I I never watched a YouTube video. There were I don't even YouTube video. There were I don't even YouTube video. There were I don't even know there were podcasts when we were know there were podcasts when we were know there were podcasts when we were 14, right? I don't think there were. And 14, right? I don't think there were. And 14, right? I don't think there were. And so it's like when we were 13, 14, 15, so it's like when we were 13, 14, 15, so it's like when we were 13, 14, 15, 16, right? a pretty formative age, like 16, right? a pretty formative age, like 16, right? a pretty formative age, like the only thing I had exposure to was the only thing I had exposure to was the only thing I had exposure to was basically like the NBA or skateboarding basically like the NBA or skateboarding basically like the NBA or skateboarding or like you know these that was what was or like you know these that was what was or like you know these that was what was the cool thing that you could go try to the cool thing that you could go try to the cool thing that you could go try to model and emulate outside, right? Or model and emulate outside, right? Or model and emulate outside, right? Or during your summers or during your when during your summers or during your when during your summers or during your when you got home from school and like I feel you got home from school and like I feel you got home from school and like I feel like today if you go home you have like today if you go home you have like today if you go home you have access to Twitter, you have access to access to Twitter, you have access to access to Twitter, you have access to Tik Tok, you have access to Instagram, Tik Tok, you have access to Instagram, Tik Tok, you have access to Instagram, you have access to YouTube and on those you have access to YouTube and on those you have access to YouTube and on those platforms you can get into any rabbit platforms you can get into any rabbit platforms you can get into any rabbit hole into any niche that you want. And hole into any niche that you want. And hole into any niche that you want. And the people who stumble into the kind of the people who stumble into the kind of the people who stumble into the kind of like tech Elon Musk bubble, right, like tech Elon Musk bubble, right, like tech Elon Musk bubble, right, they're going to see this. It's gonna they're going to see this. It's gonna they're going to see this. It's gonna become normal to them. The idea that you become normal to them. The idea that you become normal to them. The idea that you can make millions of dollars. People who can make millions of dollars. People who can make millions of dollars. People who listen to the podcast where we did with listen to the podcast where we did with listen to the podcast where we did with Zach where it's like, "Oh, here's this Zach where it's like, "Oh, here's this Zach where it's like, "Oh, here's this 19-year-old kid who just sold his 19-year-old kid who just sold his 19-year-old kid who just sold his company that was doing 30 million, you company that was doing 30 million, you company that was doing 30 million, you know, in ARR, that now becomes know, in ARR, that now becomes know, in ARR, that now becomes normalized for a huge generation of normalized for a huge generation of normalized for a huge generation of people who are then going to do their people who are then going to do their people who are then going to do their own version of that. We didn't uh have own version of that. We didn't uh have own version of that. We didn't uh have that that advantage. So, I don't think that that advantage. So, I don't think that that advantage. So, I don't think the human species evolves that fast. But the human species evolves that fast. But the human species evolves that fast. But I do think if you give it new training I do think if you give it new training I do think if you give it new training data, if you give it new like stuff to data, if you give it new like stuff to data, if you give it new like stuff to uh to to be a mime about and just copy, uh to to be a mime about and just copy, uh to to be a mime about and just copy, they will do pretty well. they will do pretty well. they will do pretty well. >> They were talking about like dating and >> They were talking about like dating and >> They were talking about like dating and I referenced the book The Game and they I referenced the book The Game and they I referenced the book The Game and they were like, "What's the game?" And I was were like, "What's the game?" And I was were like, "What's the game?" And I was like, "Come here, son. like, "Come here, son. like, "Come here, son. >> It's called The Old Testament." Yeah. >> It's called The Old Testament." Yeah. >> It's called The Old Testament." Yeah. >> Come here, boy. Have a seat. >> Come here, boy. Have a seat. >> Come here, boy. Have a seat. >> Sit on my lap. >> Sit on my lap. >> Sit on my lap. >> All right. What's the next one? >> All right. What's the next one? >> All right. What's the next one? All right. Uh, I don't know if you saw All right. Uh, I don't know if you saw All right. Uh, I don't know if you saw this. Pokémon Go as one of the the great this. Pokémon Go as one of the the great this. Pokémon Go as one of the the great pivots of all time. Did you see the pivots of all time. Did you see the pivots of all time. Did you see the story? story? story? >> I did not. >> I did not. >> I did not. >> All right. So, if you remember Pokémon >> All right. So, if you remember Pokémon >> All right. So, if you remember Pokémon Go was like the hit game. I don't know Go was like the hit game. I don't know Go was like the hit game. I don't know when this was like when this was like when this was like >> like 19 or 20. >> like 19 or 20. >> like 19 or 20. >> Yeah. Like, you know, 7 years ago or >> Yeah. Like, you know, 7 years ago or >> Yeah. Like, you know, 7 years ago or something like that. It was a huge deal something like that. It was a huge deal something like that. It was a huge deal that people, it was this new style of that people, it was this new style of that people, it was this new style of game. You would take out your phone and game. You would take out your phone and game. You would take out your phone and your phone would just be on like kind of your phone would just be on like kind of your phone would just be on like kind of camera mode. You'd walk around a city camera mode. You'd walk around a city camera mode. You'd walk around a city and then you would like discover a and then you would like discover a and then you would like discover a Pokemon. it would show up like using Pokemon. it would show up like using Pokemon. it would show up like using like u like the kind of they would like u like the kind of they would like u like the kind of they would overlay the little Pokemon on on top of overlay the little Pokemon on on top of overlay the little Pokemon on on top of like the street where you were standing. like the street where you were standing. like the street where you were standing. All right, cool. So, that became like a All right, cool. So, that became like a All right, cool. So, that became like a kind of like a$1 to2 billion dollar kind of like a$1 to2 billion dollar kind of like a$1 to2 billion dollar game. I think they sold the game for 2 game. I think they sold the game for 2 game. I think they sold the game for 2 or 3 billion. Um cuz it, you know, had or 3 billion. Um cuz it, you know, had or 3 billion. Um cuz it, you know, had this huge hype cycle, then it kind of this huge hype cycle, then it kind of this huge hype cycle, then it kind of died down. Well, there's this really died down. Well, there's this really died down. Well, there's this really interesting story about the fact that interesting story about the fact that interesting story about the fact that they're now they now they sold the game, they're now they now they sold the game, they're now they now they sold the game, but they kept all of the photos, the but they kept all of the photos, the but they kept all of the photos, the videos. And so what that means is like videos. And so what that means is like videos. And so what that means is like they had, you know, I don't know what they had, you know, I don't know what they had, you know, I don't know what 100 100 million players or something 100 100 million players or something 100 100 million players or something like that walking around every city in like that walking around every city in like that walking around every city in the world with their phone out capturing the world with their phone out capturing the world with their phone out capturing what the street looks like. And if you what the street looks like. And if you what the street looks like. And if you think about it, that's actually really think about it, that's actually really think about it, that's actually really valuable data for AI that wants to do valuable data for AI that wants to do valuable data for AI that wants to do not self-driving, but like self-d not self-driving, but like self-d not self-driving, but like self-d delivery, right? So like delivery bots delivery, right? So like delivery bots delivery, right? So like delivery bots that are going to go on sidewalks in that are going to go on sidewalks in that are going to go on sidewalks in through neighborhoods or down city through neighborhoods or down city through neighborhoods or down city streets and have to deliver something. streets and have to deliver something. streets and have to deliver something. Well, they need to recognize where am I? Well, they need to recognize where am I? Well, they need to recognize where am I? What does this look like? what is the What does this look like? what is the What does this look like? what is the terrain, how does this work, etc. And so terrain, how does this work, etc. And so terrain, how does this work, etc. And so they took that data and they're they took that data and they're they took that data and they're licensing it out to all these AI licensing it out to all these AI licensing it out to all these AI companies now because they're the only companies now because they're the only companies now because they're the only ones in the world who have this data. ones in the world who have this data. ones in the world who have this data. And like you've heard this kind of like And like you've heard this kind of like And like you've heard this kind of like data is the new oil. That's a little data is the new oil. That's a little data is the new oil. That's a little misleading because there's there's like misleading because there's there's like misleading because there's there's like there's just oil with data. There's like there's just oil with data. There's like there's just oil with data. There's like very specific like niche types of data. very specific like niche types of data. very specific like niche types of data. And so you might have like a specific And so you might have like a specific And so you might have like a specific type of oil that nobody else has. And type of oil that nobody else has. And type of oil that nobody else has. And Pokémon Go, the company behind it, Pokémon Go, the company behind it, Pokémon Go, the company behind it, Niantic, has that data for real world Niantic, has that data for real world Niantic, has that data for real world behavior. Like if you if you've ever behavior. Like if you if you've ever behavior. Like if you if you've ever seen like uh the Google Street View seen like uh the Google Street View seen like uh the Google Street View thing, right? Like Google would send out thing, right? Like Google would send out thing, right? Like Google would send out a car with a camera that's rotating on a car with a camera that's rotating on a car with a camera that's rotating on top taking pictures of of everything top taking pictures of of everything top taking pictures of of everything around it. And they would literally around it. And they would literally around it. And they would literally drive every street in the world drive every street in the world drive every street in the world essentially was the was the game plan essentially was the was the game plan essentially was the was the game plan with Google Street View. And they do it. with Google Street View. And they do it. with Google Street View. And they do it. They did it every like 10 years. Side They did it every like 10 years. Side They did it every like 10 years. Side note, one drove by my house the other note, one drove by my house the other note, one drove by my house the other day and I got so excited and I went out day and I got so excited and I went out day and I got so excited and I went out and I flashed it and I was like, "Yes, and I flashed it and I was like, "Yes, and I flashed it and I was like, "Yes, that's internet history, baby. That's that's internet history, baby. That's that's internet history, baby. That's for the next 10 years. If anyone ever for the next 10 years. If anyone ever for the next 10 years. If anyone ever looks up this property, they're going to looks up this property, they're going to looks up this property, they're going to see my hairy belly out there." I did see my hairy belly out there." I did see my hairy belly out there." I did that [ __ ] that [ __ ] that [ __ ] >> I couldn't think of what else to do. I >> I couldn't think of what else to do. I >> I couldn't think of what else to do. I knew it was a moment, knew it was a moment, knew it was a moment, but my brainstorm only had 15 seconds but my brainstorm only had 15 seconds but my brainstorm only had 15 seconds and I went Marty Gro on it instead of and I went Marty Gro on it instead of and I went Marty Gro on it instead of doing something. Bro, I uh I've hated doing something. Bro, I uh I've hated doing something. Bro, I uh I've hated the analogy of data as the new oil the analogy of data as the new oil the analogy of data as the new oil because for years and years, you know, because for years and years, you know, because for years and years, you know, people have said this for years, but people have said this for years, but people have said this for years, but there was no use for it. And actually, there was no use for it. And actually, there was no use for it. And actually, it's actually kind of a good analogy. it's actually kind of a good analogy. it's actually kind of a good analogy. Did you know that um the oil industry Did you know that um the oil industry Did you know that um the oil industry existed, you know, John Rockefeller existed, you know, John Rockefeller existed, you know, John Rockefeller started Standard Oil like in the 1880s, started Standard Oil like in the 1880s, started Standard Oil like in the 1880s, but cars weren't invented really until but cars weren't invented really until but cars weren't invented really until like 1915, 1918, and they didn't really like 1915, 1918, and they didn't really like 1915, 1918, and they didn't really get popular until like 1920. And so up get popular until like 1920. And so up get popular until like 1920. And so up to like 1915, what was what did they use to like 1915, what was what did they use to like 1915, what was what did they use oil for? Well, it was actually mostly oil for? Well, it was actually mostly oil for? Well, it was actually mostly kerosene. Uh, and so like street lamps, kerosene. Uh, and so like street lamps, kerosene. Uh, and so like street lamps, you would have someone go and like you would have someone go and like you would have someone go and like literally light the lamps in a city and literally light the lamps in a city and literally light the lamps in a city and that was enough to make the industry that was enough to make the industry that was enough to make the industry big. And then uh, you know, they were big. And then uh, you know, they were big. And then uh, you know, they were like doing it and killing it and killing like doing it and killing it and killing like doing it and killing it and killing it, killing it. Then Henry Ford created it, killing it. Then Henry Ford created it, killing it. Then Henry Ford created Ford and I think in 1914 the first model Ford and I think in 1914 the first model Ford and I think in 1914 the first model A uh, sorry, Model T, uh, came about and A uh, sorry, Model T, uh, came about and A uh, sorry, Model T, uh, came about and the oil industry exploded. and what is the oil industry exploded. and what is the oil industry exploded. and what is going on in some cases is kind of like going on in some cases is kind of like going on in some cases is kind of like that with AI where like there was data that with AI where like there was data that with AI where like there was data and like but data is a new oil but like and like but data is a new oil but like and like but data is a new oil but like there's no use case for this oil like there's no use case for this oil like there's no use case for this oil like yeah we maybe we think this is useful yeah we maybe we think this is useful yeah we maybe we think this is useful but what are we going to use it for now but what are we going to use it for now but what are we going to use it for now it's like they have finally found like a it's like they have finally found like a it's like they have finally found like a good place to actually put this oil good place to actually put this oil good place to actually put this oil >> yeah that makes a lot of sense and I >> yeah that makes a lot of sense and I >> yeah that makes a lot of sense and I feel like that's happened now with a few feel like that's happened now with a few feel like that's happened now with a few people they they woke up and they're people they they woke up and they're people they they woke up and they're like ah what's that under my back oh like ah what's that under my back oh like ah what's that under my back oh it's a lottery ticket and like you know it's a lottery ticket and like you know it's a lottery ticket and like you know that's basically what this is uh we that's basically what this is uh we that's basically what this is uh we talked about Handshake that company that talked about Handshake that company that talked about Handshake that company that was basically was basically was basically like a college student internship job like a college student internship job like a college student internship job board type of product. board type of product. board type of product. >> It was kind of dumb. >> It was kind of dumb. >> It was kind of dumb. >> Not not dumb necessarily, just not fine. >> Not not dumb necessarily, just not fine. >> Not not dumb necessarily, just not fine. >> Yeah, it was it was like not going to be >> Yeah, it was it was like not going to be >> Yeah, it was it was like not going to be the biggest thing in the world.

He ran the was then poached by Tesla. He ran the was then poached by Tesla. He ran the Tesla self-driving program for like a Tesla self-driving program for like a Tesla self-driving program for like a decade or something like that. He went decade or something like that. He went decade or something like that. He went back to OpenAI after that. And then now back to OpenAI after that. And then now back to OpenAI after that. And then now he's just like indie hacker.

So he made this experiments he's doing. So he made this experiments he's doing. So he made this thing called karpathy.ai/job >> and you can see this on the screen here. >> and you can see this on the screen here. Basically what he did is he took all of Basically what he did is he took all of Basically what he did is he took all of the US jobs from the uh you know Bureau the US jobs from the uh you know Bureau the US jobs from the uh you know Bureau of Labor and okay so that's 143 million of Labor and okay so that's 143 million of Labor and okay so that's 143 million different jobs in the US economy and different jobs in the US economy and different jobs in the US economy and then each the size of the square is how then each the size of the square is how then each the size of the square is how big of a how big of a part of the US big of a how big of a part of the US big of a how big of a part of the US economy that job is. So you could see economy that job is. So you could see economy that job is. So you could see like uh registered nurses there's 3.4 like uh registered nurses there's 3.4 like uh registered nurses there's 3.4 million registered nurses in the United million registered nurses in the United million registered nurses in the United States. Uh construction laborers there's States. Uh construction laborers there's States. Uh construction laborers there's 1.6 million secretaries. So it's 1.6 million secretaries. So it's 1.6 million secretaries. So it's percentage by uh size by quantity of percentage by uh size by quantity of percentage by uh size by quantity of workers workers workers >> popularity of >> popularity of >> popularity of >> because it says like cashiers is a huge >> because it says like cashiers is a huge >> because it says like cashiers is a huge percentage of that which is insane. So percentage of that which is insane. So percentage of that which is insane. So cashiers take 3.2 million jobs. That's cashiers take 3.2 million jobs. That's cashiers take 3.2 million jobs. That's wild. That's cool. Okay. wild. That's cool. Okay. wild. That's cool. Okay. >> Correct. And so um then why is what is >> Correct. And so um then why is what is >> Correct. And so um then why is what is green and red? Right. Looks like a stock green and red? Right. Looks like a stock green and red? Right. Looks like a stock market chart. So basically then he then market chart. So basically then he then market chart. So basically then he then had uh uh he took he told AI to estimate had uh uh he took he told AI to estimate had uh uh he took he told AI to estimate the likelihood that this job is going to the likelihood that this job is going to the likelihood that this job is going to disappear based on the capabilities of disappear based on the capabilities of disappear based on the capabilities of AI. So based on what the job does and AI. So based on what the job does and AI. So based on what the job does and then what AI can do, how disruptible is then what AI can do, how disruptible is then what AI can do, how disruptible is this job? How at risk is this job? So this job? How at risk is this job? So this job? How at risk is this job? So for example, construction laborers are for example, construction laborers are for example, construction laborers are green because they're more in the safe green because they're more in the safe green because they're more in the safe category from AI because AI today can't category from AI because AI today can't category from AI because AI today can't do what those people do. but customer do what those people do. but customer do what those people do. but customer service is in red obviously and um and service is in red obviously and um and service is in red obviously and um and so he went through every job in the US so he went through every job in the US so he went through every job in the US uh market and then you could sort of uh market and then you could sort of uh market and then you could sort of almost see like how how turbulent will almost see like how how turbulent will almost see like how how turbulent will this be for the labor market because you this be for the labor market because you this be for the labor market because you got how much red are you going to see on got how much red are you going to see on got how much red are you going to see on the screen because if it's going to the screen because if it's going to the screen because if it's going to really disrupt a very a very small niche really disrupt a very a very small niche really disrupt a very a very small niche job that's not that big of a deal but if job that's not that big of a deal but if job that's not that big of a deal but if it's going to disrupt you know it's going to disrupt you know it's going to disrupt you know >> secretaries and admin uh cashiers I'm >> secretaries and admin uh cashiers I'm >> secretaries and admin uh cashiers I'm surprised waiters and waitresses here surprised waiters and waitresses here surprised waiters and waitresses here high school teachers I'm surprised that high school teachers I'm surprised that high school teachers I'm surprised that one's there in red uh kindergarten one's there in red uh kindergarten one's there in red uh kindergarten elementary is like kind of in an orange elementary is like kind of in an orange elementary is like kind of in an orange state here. Um state here. Um state here. Um >> that's insane. What >> that's insane. What >> that's insane. What >> and then he has a caveat. So he says >> and then he has a caveat. So he says >> and then he has a caveat. So he says caveat on digital exposure. So he caveat on digital exposure. So he caveat on digital exposure. So he basically said let me just read the basically said let me just read the basically said let me just read the whole thing. So he said the digital AI whole thing. So he said the digital AI whole thing. So he said the digital AI exposure option is one example. It exposure option is one example. It exposure option is one example. It estimates how much of current AI which estimates how much of current AI which estimates how much of current AI which is primarily digital will reshape the is primarily digital will reshape the is primarily digital will reshape the occupation. But you could do this for occupation. But you could do this for occupation. But you could do this for any other type of thing like offshoring any other type of thing like offshoring any other type of thing like offshoring risk etc. And then and then he includes risk etc. And then and then he includes risk etc. And then and then he includes even the prompt here. This is a cool even the prompt here. This is a cool even the prompt here. This is a cool little hack project by him on the side. little hack project by him on the side. little hack project by him on the side. Uh and he's like you know here's there's Uh and he's like you know here's there's Uh and he's like you know here's there's obviously a bunch of caveats which is obviously a bunch of caveats which is obviously a bunch of caveats which is he's like software developers scored he's like software developers scored he's like software developers scored really high while some people believe really high while some people believe really high while some people believe well dude AI is doing all the coding now well dude AI is doing all the coding now well dude AI is doing all the coding now what does that mean and he's basically what does that mean and he's basically what does that mean and he's basically saying he says because AI transforms the saying he says because AI transforms the saying he says because AI transforms the work but the demand for software is work but the demand for software is work but the demand for software is going to grow as each developer becomes going to grow as each developer becomes going to grow as each developer becomes more productive the score does not more productive the score does not more productive the score does not account for demand elasticity latent account for demand elasticity latent account for demand elasticity latent demand regulatory barriers or social demand regulatory barriers or social demand regulatory barriers or social preferences for human workers that'd be preferences for human workers that'd be preferences for human workers that'd be like kindergarten teachers for example like kindergarten teachers for example like kindergarten teachers for example many high high exposure jobs will be many high high exposure jobs will be many high high exposure jobs will be reshaped and not replaced so it's not reshaped and not replaced so it's not reshaped and not replaced so it's not the red doesn't mean place, but it does the red doesn't mean place, but it does the red doesn't mean place, but it does mean reshaped. He did another thing that mean reshaped. He did another thing that mean reshaped. He did another thing that was pretty crazy. He created a auto AI was pretty crazy. He created a auto AI was pretty crazy. He created a auto AI researcher that runs all night. So, he researcher that runs all night. So, he researcher that runs all night. So, he basically created an AI that he basically created an AI that he basically created an AI that he explicitly programmed to not look for explicitly programmed to not look for explicitly programmed to not look for human feedback. So, it's like a human feedback. So, it's like a human feedback. So, it's like a recursive loop. So, it's like uh recursive loop. So, it's like uh recursive loop. So, it's like uh generate hypothesis, do research, create generate hypothesis, do research, create generate hypothesis, do research, create an output, evaluate your own output, an output, evaluate your own output, an output, evaluate your own output, give yourself the next uh direction, and give yourself the next uh direction, and give yourself the next uh direction, and go again, and give yourself the next go again, and give yourself the next go again, and give yourself the next direction, go again, give it. It just direction, go again, give it. It just direction, go again, give it. It just runs in the background all night just runs in the background all night just runs in the background all night just doing its own research. Now it's called doing its own research. Now it's called doing its own research. Now it's called auto researcher which is really how AI auto researcher which is really how AI auto researcher which is really how AI is going to like the the big leaps from is going to like the the big leaps from is going to like the the big leaps from AI are going to come when AI programs AI are going to come when AI programs AI are going to come when AI programs the next leap. the next leap. the next leap. >> Have you become the person where so like >> Have you become the person where so like >> Have you become the person where so like my Friday and Saturday nights I'm like I my Friday and Saturday nights I'm like I my Friday and Saturday nights I'm like I want to learn this stuff.

That's a very monotonous, company. That's a very monotonous, company. That's a very monotonous, boring thing that I normally would have boring thing that I normally would have boring thing that I normally would have had to do by hand and it just made it had to do by hand and it just made it had to do by hand and it just made it all in uh 5 minutes. And this is for a all in uh 5 minutes. And this is for a all in uh 5 minutes. And this is for a lot of people listening. The agency lot of people listening. The agency lot of people listening. The agency business model just got really business model just got really business model just got really interesting now. Like historically, interesting now. Like historically, interesting now. Like historically, agencies are like a pain in the ass. agencies are like a pain in the ass. agencies are like a pain in the ass. >> Um but they're actually pretty amazing >> Um but they're actually pretty amazing >> Um but they're actually pretty amazing because you don't need to test if because you don't need to test if because you don't need to test if there's demand for an agency, right? there's demand for an agency, right? there's demand for an agency, right? Everyone needs an agency. Every business Everyone needs an agency. Every business Everyone needs an agency. Every business hires a lot of agencies. You you go hires a lot of agencies. You you go hires a lot of agencies. You you go through a lot because you don't through a lot because you don't through a lot because you don't particularly like them. But running an particularly like them. But running an particularly like them. But running an agency has always been a huge pain in agency has always been a huge pain in agency has always been a huge pain in the ass regardless of how great of an the ass regardless of how great of an the ass regardless of how great of an agency it is. But now it's significantly agency it is. But now it's significantly agency it is. But now it's significantly different. I think that a if you own an different. I think that a if you own an different. I think that a if you own an agency, I think you could take the path agency, I think you could take the path agency, I think you could take the path of like my business is over or you could of like my business is over or you could of like my business is over or you could take the path of like my multiples are take the path of like my multiples are take the path of like my multiples are going to go up a significant amount. going to go up a significant amount. going to go up a significant amount. >> My buddy Rine sent this blog post to >> My buddy Rine sent this blog post to >> My buddy Rine sent this blog post to just me and Ben like a maybe a year or just me and Ben like a maybe a year or just me and Ben like a maybe a year or two years ago and he wrote it was called two years ago and he wrote it was called two years ago and he wrote it was called um service as a software. So instead of um service as a software. So instead of um service as a software. So instead of software as a service, service as a software as a service, service as a software as a service, service as a software and he basically had this software and he basically had this software and he basically had this thesis he's like service businesses have thesis he's like service businesses have thesis he's like service businesses have historically had lower mar lower lower historically had lower mar lower lower historically had lower mar lower lower margins and lower multiples because two margins and lower multiples because two margins and lower multiples because two things. One because it required so many things. One because it required so many things. One because it required so many people to do uh the gross margins were people to do uh the gross margins were people to do uh the gross margins were worse. And two because it required like worse. And two because it required like worse. And two because it required like skilled people you couldn't scale it the skilled people you couldn't scale it the skilled people you couldn't scale it the way you can a piece of code that can way you can a piece of code that can way you can a piece of code that can just keep running you know anywhere in just keep running you know anywhere in just keep running you know anywhere in the world. You know whether one person the world. You know whether one person the world. You know whether one person is using that code or 10 million usually is using that code or 10 million usually is using that code or 10 million usually doesn't really matter. and he was like doesn't really matter. and he was like doesn't really matter. and he was like AI seems to have changed this and he AI seems to have changed this and he AI seems to have changed this and he kind of he called this early and he was kind of he called this early and he was kind of he called this early and he was like now services businesses are going like now services businesses are going like now services businesses are going to have high gross margins like 75% to have high gross margins like 75% to have high gross margins like 75% gross margins instead of like 50 40% gross margins instead of like 50 40% gross margins instead of like 50 40% gross margins and he's like the reason gross margins and he's like the reason gross margins and he's like the reason why is because obviously AI is going to why is because obviously AI is going to why is because obviously AI is going to make the service company more efficient make the service company more efficient make the service company more efficient with one person you can do what you know with one person you can do what you know with one person you can do what you know four five six seven people were doing four five six seven people were doing four five six seven people were doing before and then the second thing is that before and then the second thing is that before and then the second thing is that the more people uh have software like the more people uh have software like the more people uh have software like service is going to be become more rare service is going to be become more rare service is going to be become more rare it's going to become more uh like it's it's going to become more uh like it's it's going to become more uh like it's going to become the harder thing to get going to become the harder thing to get going to become the harder thing to get And in addition to that, you have uh so And in addition to that, you have uh so And in addition to that, you have uh so not only does it have the higher not only does it have the higher not only does it have the higher multiple, but also it'll scale better, multiple, but also it'll scale better, multiple, but also it'll scale better, right? Because if you're using the more right? Because if you're using the more right? Because if you're using the more the more internal software you have, the the more internal software you have, the the more internal software you have, the more clients you might be able to serve. more clients you might be able to serve. more clients you might be able to serve. And so you you get the scalability and And so you you get the scalability and And so you you get the scalability and you get the margins. And so he had this you get the margins. And so he had this you get the margins. And so he had this idea and this is exactly what we're idea and this is exactly what we're idea and this is exactly what we're seeing. We were talking to a bunch of PE seeing. We were talking to a bunch of PE seeing. We were talking to a bunch of PE folks and they've all basically shifted folks and they've all basically shifted folks and they've all basically shifted budget away from buying SAS to buying budget away from buying SAS to buying budget away from buying SAS to buying service companies and they value the service companies and they value the service companies and they value the service companies like they used to service companies like they used to service companies like they used to value software companies, which is kind value software companies, which is kind value software companies, which is kind of crazy. uh as a shift to make for of crazy. uh as a shift to make for of crazy. uh as a shift to make for somebody who was like ingrained in my somebody who was like ingrained in my somebody who was like ingrained in my mind that like you know software is the mind that like you know software is the mind that like you know software is the thing and services are bad you know and thing and services are bad you know and thing and services are bad you know and he was he was 100% right and let me show he was he was 100% right and let me show he was he was 100% right and let me show you this thing that that I made all you this thing that that I made all you this thing that that I made all right so I think I've told you this right so I think I've told you this right so I think I've told you this before but my brother-in-law who's come before but my brother-in-law who's come before but my brother-in-law who's come on the podcast before his name is on the podcast before his name is on the podcast before his name is Sanjieve he uh he is one of the biggest Sanjieve he uh he is one of the biggest Sanjieve he uh he is one of the biggest owners of retail shopping centers in the owners of retail shopping centers in the owners of retail shopping centers in the country he owns I don't know like some I country he owns I don't know like some I country he owns I don't know like some I don't know what the number is but like don't know what the number is but like don't know what the number is but like maybe like you know a couple million maybe like you know a couple million maybe like you know a couple million square feet of real estate of retail square feet of real estate of retail square feet of real estate of retail shopping centers in the country. shopping centers in the country. shopping centers in the country. Probably one of the top five to 10 Probably one of the top five to 10 Probably one of the top five to 10 operators, but he, you know, it's like a operators, but he, you know, it's like a operators, but he, you know, it's like a bluecollar type of business as in like bluecollar type of business as in like bluecollar type of business as in like you don't, you know, his job is he does you don't, you know, his job is he does you don't, you know, his job is he does a lot of construction. He does a lot of a lot of construction. He does a lot of a lot of construction. He does a lot of leasing with brickandmortar businesses leasing with brickandmortar businesses leasing with brickandmortar businesses and so he's not hugely exposed to AI. So and so he's not hugely exposed to AI. So and so he's not hugely exposed to AI. So he um he joined like Tiger 21 or he um he joined like Tiger 21 or he um he joined like Tiger 21 or something like that. He was at a meeting something like that. He was at a meeting something like that. He was at a meeting and he and they were he's like, "Dude, and he and they were he's like, "Dude, and he and they were he's like, "Dude, it was all about AI." He's like, "I feel it was all about AI." He's like, "I feel it was all about AI." He's like, "I feel like I got to like know more about AI." like I got to like know more about AI." like I got to like know more about AI." He's like, "Seems like, you know, I'm I He's like, "Seems like, you know, I'm I He's like, "Seems like, you know, I'm I kind of know about it, but I got to know kind of know about it, but I got to know kind of know about it, but I got to know more, you know, like seems like I'm more, you know, like seems like I'm more, you know, like seems like I'm probably underinvesting in this." So, probably underinvesting in this." So, probably underinvesting in this." So, last night, I just did I did a little last night, I just did I did a little last night, I just did I did a little demo for him. So, I basically went into demo for him. So, I basically went into demo for him. So, I basically went into Claude and I just go, "I'm a retail Claude and I just go, "I'm a retail Claude and I just go, "I'm a retail shopping center owner. This is my shopping center owner. This is my shopping center owner. This is my business. Tell me 10 ways I should be business. Tell me 10 ways I should be business. Tell me 10 ways I should be using AI." So, it gives me 10 ways. So, using AI." So, it gives me 10 ways. So, using AI." So, it gives me 10 ways. So, it's like, here's 10 things you could it's like, here's 10 things you could it's like, here's 10 things you could do. A retail expansion and contraction do. A retail expansion and contraction do. A retail expansion and contraction tracker. Okay. So, like, you know, your tracker. Okay. So, like, you know, your tracker. Okay. So, like, you know, your tenants are these retailers. You could tenants are these retailers. You could tenants are these retailers. You could scrape earnings calls, 10Ks, press scrape earnings calls, 10Ks, press scrape earnings calls, 10Ks, press releases, trade publications, and flag releases, trade publications, and flag releases, trade publications, and flag which stores are opening more locations, which stores are opening more locations, which stores are opening more locations, which ones are closing locations, and which ones are closing locations, and which ones are closing locations, and that would create a hit list for your that would create a hit list for your that would create a hit list for your team to go call those tenants and team to go call those tenants and team to go call those tenants and basically be like top of mind for them basically be like top of mind for them basically be like top of mind for them as they look for new locations. Lease as they look for new locations. Lease as they look for new locations. Lease expiration, you have all these leases, expiration, you have all these leases, expiration, you have all these leases, right? If you have, let's call it 50 right? If you have, let's call it 50 right? If you have, let's call it 50 centers that you own and each center has centers that you own and each center has centers that you own and each center has 30 tenants. Now, you have 150 uh tenants 30 tenants. Now, you have 150 uh tenants 30 tenants. Now, you have 150 uh tenants that you would have. Each one has a that you would have. Each one has a that you would have. Each one has a unique lease on it, a unique timetable. unique lease on it, a unique timetable. unique lease on it, a unique timetable. you need to know who that's expiring and you need to know who that's expiring and you need to know who that's expiring and when. Just upload all of it to a folder when. Just upload all of it to a folder when. Just upload all of it to a folder and it'll tell you what is expiring and it'll tell you what is expiring and it'll tell you what is expiring when. It'll give you notifications and when. It'll give you notifications and when. It'll give you notifications and it'll cross reference that with their it'll cross reference that with their it'll cross reference that with their public announcement so you know, hey, public announcement so you know, hey, public announcement so you know, hey, they had a hot quarter, you know, go and they had a hot quarter, you know, go and they had a hot quarter, you know, go and look for an expansion of that lease. look for an expansion of that lease. look for an expansion of that lease. They're contracting. That's going to be They're contracting. That's going to be They're contracting. That's going to be at risk. You should start thinking about at risk. You should start thinking about at risk. You should start thinking about possible new tenants to put in. And it possible new tenants to put in. And it possible new tenants to put in. And it gave a list of like, you know, 10 10 gave a list of like, you know, 10 10 gave a list of like, you know, 10 10 different uh things. And then I just different uh things. And then I just different uh things. And then I just said, "Cool. Give me the prompt to um to said, "Cool. Give me the prompt to um to said, "Cool. Give me the prompt to um to build this to build number one that like build this to build number one that like build this to build number one that like expansion tracker." So check this out. expansion tracker." So check this out. expansion tracker." So check this out. So then I go and I basically take that So then I go and I basically take that So then I go and I basically take that prompt. I throw it into the new I wanted prompt. I throw it into the new I wanted prompt. I throw it into the new I wanted to try the new perplexity computer. I to try the new perplexity computer. I to try the new perplexity computer.

It's one of the reasons I think the It's one of the reasons I think the It's one of the reasons I think the biggest opportunity right now, like the biggest opportunity right now, like the biggest opportunity right now, like the obvious no-brainer thing that anybody obvious no-brainer thing that anybody obvious no-brainer thing that anybody who hasn't made it that wants to make it who hasn't made it that wants to make it who hasn't made it that wants to make it in life needs to do today is to in life needs to do today is to in life needs to do today is to basically go sell AI transformation. So basically go sell AI transformation. So basically go sell AI transformation. So what do you do? You go find business what do you do? You go find business what do you do? You go find business owners and operators and you go you owners and operators and you go you owners and operators and you go you become an AI expert in your nights and become an AI expert in your nights and become an AI expert in your nights and weekends basically and then you go to weekends basically and then you go to weekends basically and then you go to them and you sell a no- risk offer to them and you sell a no- risk offer to them and you sell a no- risk offer to them which is that I will come and I them which is that I will come and I them which is that I will come and I will find ways I I will come and do an will find ways I I will come and do an will find ways I I will come and do an audit and basically figure out how I can audit and basically figure out how I can audit and basically figure out how I can use AI to improve your business.

Uh when when >> over the next couple weeks. Uh when when >> over the next couple weeks. Uh when when it's just you and I. I want to do a an it's just you and I. I want to do a an it's just you and I. I want to do a an episode on how to develop good taste episode on how to develop good taste episode on how to develop good taste because what we're seeing online is because what we're seeing online is because what we're seeing online is people saying now that building things people saying now that building things people saying now that building things is not important anymore because you is not important anymore because you is not important anymore because you have a machine that can build it for have a machine that can build it for have a machine that can build it for you, the next most important thing now you, the next most important thing now you, the next most important thing now is how to have good taste. And I have is how to have good taste. And I have is how to have good taste. And I have found that piece of advice to be found that piece of advice to be found that piece of advice to be incredibly unhelpful because what is the incredibly unhelpful because what is the incredibly unhelpful because what is the definition of good taste and how do you definition of good taste and how do you definition of good taste and how do you develop it? And I've been working really develop it? And I've been working really develop it? And I've been working really hard on defining it. And I think that we hard on defining it. And I think that we hard on defining it. And I think that we we can see this whole like I think that we can see this whole like I think that we can see this whole like I think that there's an interesting opportunity where there's an interesting opportunity where there's an interesting opportunity where you can teach people how to develop good you can teach people how to develop good you can teach people how to develop good taste because I believe you can, taste because I believe you can, taste because I believe you can, >> right? >> right? >> right? >> And I want to do a whole episode on how >> And I want to do a whole episode on how >> And I want to do a whole episode on how to uh define what does good taste mean to uh define what does good taste mean to uh define what does good taste mean because I believe there's an objective because I believe there's an objective because I believe there's an objective definition to it which is um knowing and definition to it which is um knowing and definition to it which is um knowing and speaking the the desired language of the speaking the the desired language of the speaking the the desired language of the of the the people or thing that you want of the the people or thing that you want of the the people or thing that you want to speak about and then how you learn to speak about and then how you learn to speak about and then how you learn that language. I'm I'm all in. I love that language. I'm I'm all in. I love that language. I'm I'm all in. I love that. I think that's that that would be that. I think that's that that would be that. I think that's that that would be super fun to do. And I think like you super fun to do. And I think like you super fun to do. And I think like you said, timely and necessary. And I think said, timely and necessary. And I think said, timely and necessary. And I think most people would agree with the premise most people would agree with the premise most people would agree with the premise that like taste matters. It's pretty that like taste matters. It's pretty that like taste matters. It's pretty hard to disagree with that taste ever hard to disagree with that taste ever hard to disagree with that taste ever didn't matter. Now matters more, right? didn't matter. Now matters more, right? didn't matter. Now matters more, right? Cuz if AI can produce more stuff and Cuz if AI can produce more stuff and Cuz if AI can produce more stuff and makes it easier than ever to make makes it easier than ever to make makes it easier than ever to make things, well, taste matters even more things, well, taste matters even more things, well, taste matters even more then, right? Because taste is the uh is then, right? Because taste is the uh is then, right? Because taste is the uh is the discernment. It's the decision the discernment. It's the decision the discernment. It's the decision between good and bad. And so, yeah, between good and bad. And so, yeah, between good and bad. And so, yeah, obviously it matters more, but I think obviously it matters more, but I think obviously it matters more, but I think it's like these uh these other soft it's like these uh these other soft it's like these uh these other soft skills that people don't even think of skills that people don't even think of skills that people don't even think of as skills, meaning you just sort of as skills, meaning you just sort of as skills, meaning you just sort of think you have a certain amount of it think you have a certain amount of it think you have a certain amount of it and it can't really grow like any other and it can't really grow like any other and it can't really grow like any other skill. When it's like, well, no, if it's skill. When it's like, well, no, if it's skill. When it's like, well, no, if it's a skill, that means it could be a skill, that means it could be a skill, that means it could be practiced, it could be learned, it could practiced, it could be learned, it could practiced, it could be learned, it could be improved. Um, and so if it's a skill, be improved. Um, and so if it's a skill, be improved. Um, and so if it's a skill, then that means the only question is then that means the only question is then that means the only question is how. how. how. >> I have that answer. And so, I won't >> I have that answer. And so, I won't >> I have that answer. And so, I won't reveal it today, but I've been thinking reveal it today, but I've been thinking reveal it today, but I've been thinking a lot about this. Um, coincidentally, a lot about this.
