These lessons came from one incredibly interesting conversation

about my sense of him again, don't know him well, is that he is uncompromising in his values.

He's maybe like the apex predator of like the thing I wanna do, which is like picking and supporting people.

I think that's what he's done for a really long time with unbelievable success.

And that he is so incredibly uncompromising about how he does that and willing, I won't tell the examples, but I think willing famously to throw away huge commercial opportunities just because the person wasn't who he wanted to support.

So sometimes it's literally a conversation with a person that just smacks you in the face and makes you feel validated maybe for what you're trying to do.

There's a gentleman named Reese Duca who's very, very private and there's no content about him or interviews with him.

I wish to God he would let me interview him.

I know he never will.

who has been incredibly impactful on, at like a philosophical level.

He has all these amazing little phrases, but his life kind of boils down to simplicity, the beauty of simplicity.

He gave me this line one time, simplify your life with rhythm and harmony.

And

That line is what you're talking about.

Fewer, deeper relationships, fewer things better, everything aligned with what gives you energy, listening to your own, you know, feel the feeling of aliveness like he lived that to a degree that's rare that I've never seen before.

So I could keep – I literally could rattle names.

A gentleman I spend a ton of time with now named Jesse Beiruti, who I am with basically every day, who also I think has no interest in fame or accolades or recognition, but I think is one of the great – will go down, I would predict, as one of the great investors ever.

And he's like Reese, he's completely uncompromising and the most principled way of living I've ever seen.

Just like refuses to get sucked into the game.

And I could, God, man, I could rattle off names for hours and hours.
