high IQ is a poverty trap. let me explain. recently talked to a guy with 172 IQ. reads philosophy. understands complex systems better than most MBAs. completely broke. spends every day researching. perfecting ideas. waiting for the "right moment" to execute. scanning "best saas ideas" blogs. been "building in stealth" for 3 years. where it gets uncomfortable. couple months ago i took one of his half-finished concepts he mentioned in passing. packaged it with maximum conviction. sold it as an info product to women wanting to build careers in real estate. $12k/month in 90 days. product was average. idea wasn't revolutionary. i moved fast and marketed ugly. he's still perfecting version 1.0 while i'm cashing deposits from version 0.3 i built in a weekend. the psychology is brutal: intelligence creates options. options create paralysis. paralysis creates poverty. smart people see 47 ways something could fail. so they "research more." average people see one path forward and sprint. a gorgeous idea in the hands of someone who overthinks becomes a mental prison. a mid idea in the hands of someone who executes becomes a money printer. ideas without execution are expensive hobbies for smart people scared to look stupid. that's the trap. smart people protect their reputation for being smart. shipping something imperfect threatens that identity. so they delay forever. operators ship garbage. learn from the market. iterate. get paid while perfecting. you need speed and conviction, not perfect. confidence sells better than competence. always has. my genius friend will stay broke theorizing about businesses he never starts. operators with half his IQ are cashing out because they understood the assignment. speed of execution is the entire game.

Good morning, love you, stay focused, stay safe, stay inspired.

Imagine having this name and 1) working at a pod and 2) covering oil and not AI heavy TMT during this generational stock market run. I hope he’s having a career year (no reason to think he’s not an awesome person)
