You see a gap in the market and then you think to yourself, oh, how fun would it be to build this thing? It's not just for the paycheck at the end or the moment when you sell your company. I think the actual process of creation, it can be so fun. If you look at really high performers, there's just so many people like Sam Altman, he meditates like,

You see a gap in the market and then you think to yourself, oh, how fun would it be to build this thing? It's not just for the paycheck at the end or the moment when you sell your company. I think the actual process of creation, it can be so fun. If you look at really high performers, There's just so many people like Sam Altman.

So many others, you know, who are people who are VPs at Google that created all the products that we use today, a bunch of them meditate, you know, so there's a lot of people are finding different ways of taking care of themselves because there's a big relationship between tension and creativity. So if your mind is really, really tense, you're not going to be as creative as you can be.

He meditates like so many others, you know, who are people who are VPs at Google that created all the products that we use today. A bunch of them meditate, you know, so there's a lot of people are finding different ways of taking care of themselves because There's a big relationship between tension and creativity.

But if you are able to process that tension, then your creativity is going to go up.

So if your mind is really, really tense, you're not going to be as creative as you can be. But if you are able to process that tension, then your creativity is going to go up.

I think the immediate quality is to not be impulsively reactive. If you hear someone say something you don't like, you're not like, no, that's wrong. You take a moment and you actually can step outside of your perspective to be able to see more of why are they seeing things in that way. And also, if you're a smarter than you in specific areas.

So if they're coming at you with a specific view that you don't agree with, then you should be able to lean on the fact that, oh, actually, maybe I'm not understanding something to be able to really check in.

But I think that quality of not being immediately impulsive reactive and being able to step outside of your perspective to see the perspective of another, that's real emotional maturity in business.

I think especially if you're an entrepreneur, you have to be really careful because the ego just makes the mind so cloudy. And just because you've had a few wins doesn't mean everything else that you're going to have is going to be a win. And I think one of the ways to combat that is by honestly hiring really smart young people.

Because as you get older, being able to build a really successful business in your 20s or your 30s Are you still understanding that the world, like the way that you saw it back then, it's going to change radically when you're 50 and you're trying to build another company.

So I think tapping into people that you can trust feels really important, but I think the ego, it just makes things rougher and it can push you through hard moments, but it's not going to make the best product possible.

Yeah, it's funny. I was talking to one of my mentors the other day and he was going through all these different famous entrepreneurs and he was like, everybody is trauma-based. Everybody is attacking a problem because there's some lack of safety. You know, something happened when they were younger. And then as we were talking, I was listening and I was like, oh, wow.
