I think Naval's sort of learned wisdom is that this is how he now approaches projects.

Like he'll see an opportunity, see an investment, just kind of be like reading and casually working, learning, going about it in life.

And then an opportunity will arise or a person will make themselves known.

And it's kind of like, all right, we all leap into action.

We got to have a sprint.

We got to start a company.

We got to make an investment.

We got to get up to speed on this really, really quickly.

But if you were mired in something else, just like plodding along on not the biggest opportunity rather than having the space to jump on the best opportunity when it came about, then you might miss it.

And like, that's the live like a lion kind of mindset is like you want to have the space to evaluate and attack the most important thing at any time.

I feel like there's probably two types of person in that meeting.

One is like,

this looks like work and it's the easiest thing I can do today.

So I'm just going to sit in here and like, I'm going to be in a meeting.

I'm doing my job with the lowest effort possible.

And then there's somebody else who's like sitting there and their skin is crawling because they're like, I hate this.

I'm useless.

I feel like I can't leave.

I've got more important work to do.

Like, please let me out of here.
