32: Notes To Self

Yo, it’s Luke!

I am officially obsessed with dancing side of YouTube. Whether it’s boogie woogie or honky tonk or anything else, I’m hooked. These people are wayyy too smooth with it.

That said, here is your weekly dose of 5 noteworthy ideas & things I learned about last week. Click on each link to dive further on that topic.

1. A Little Bit of Slope Makes Up For A Lot of Y-Intercept (John Ousterhout)

I try to remind myself of this graph when starting something new.

It’s a nice reminder to just go do it and focus on learning.

This idea of “slope > y-intercept” is also helpful for other things (like hiring a team and picking a partner).

Ability to grow makes up for a lot.

2. Does My Son Know You? (Jonathan Tjarks)

This one’s a real tear jerker. Worth the read.

My biggest note: I want my kids to know my friends well. Once I’m gone, those are some of the only relationships I want to last.

3. A Pic On Human Qualities To Embody (Proby Shandilya)

This captures essence of my favorite people.

4. This Is The Most Embarrassing Plane-Pooping Story Ever (Jason Torchinsky)

This is a hilarious 2-3 min read.

5. There Is No Speed Limit (Derek Sivers)

“The normal pace is for chumps.”

Thanks for wanting to know more today than you did yesterday! If you liked this edition, send it over to a friend who would like it too 🤝 

Cheers,

Luke
