life is just a game of attention management

to achieve your goals you have to become a different person.

You're not depressed, you just lost your quest.

Life is poker, not chess Four years ago I walked away from a guaranteed promotion at McKinsey and a $300K PE offer to work in gaming for a third of the salary. Many thought I was insane. They were playing chess: calculating the optimal move with perfect information.

One of the most important things Michael Jordan ever said: “They’re deceiving themselves about what the game requires”

The thinker vs the doer.....

I think about this trap all the freaking time.. finally found the right words to share it.

My CTO and I spent months studying manual and repetitive tasks any founder, VC, investor or an Exec goes through in a given week. What we found was shocking. Sometimes, 12-20 hours/week are spent writing emails, responding to emails, scheduling Gmeet/Zoom, meeting prep, and notes. Why spend time doing all of this? @kushal_prakash_ and team spent months aggregating everything to your WhatsApp via an AI multi-agent setup that gets everything done with mere speech and text commands. There is a hard paywall but we are giving it free for one month to my tweeps, because why not? Just comment “FastTrackr” and I’ll send you a DM with instructions.

It was lovely hosting the entire @kalaari team at our factory and office. Had a great chat with @vanikola on AI, Tech, and its importance for India. Great to see young people so excited about the future of India and I hope they keep building in India for the world! 🇮🇳

Not surprised, @andre is going straight from the NBA to VC GP, w a $200M VC fund. He invested in a lot of great names but w smaller checks, will be interesting to see if he can step up. He invested in Brex, Carta, Coinbase, Robinhood, Hippo, Marqeta, Mercury, Toast & others.

The voice inside has a universal moral compass that does not change irrespective of your age, gender, caste, creed, religion, or bank balance. Listen closely.

To really understand what AI could do to games, think about a GTA on steroids: - play as you, or anyone (not Trevor) - Different supporting characters for different missions - No one way to solve a mission (can’t use YT), more missions - More cities (Namma Bengaluru?)
