even if you're starting out, you can have confidence in what you're doing because you derived the solution. And you can actually answer why you do something. So if you cannot explain why you believe what you believe, it's not your belief, it's someone else's. And so most people, I would say, parrot the vast majority of the things that they say because, and to be fair, that's how humans learn.

You're five years old, you say, what's that? They say bull and you say bull, you parrot it back and there we go, right? But when it comes to skills, you can describe what other people have said before, but if something goes wrong or what about this condition, you won't know what to do.

But if you derived it from the ground up and there's a great portion of this in the Y Combinator community that you, or the Silicon Valley community that you probably heard is maybe like, Three or four months ago, it was like founder mode. Did that get to the UK?

Oh, yeah. It was awesome, right? And so basically the tenet is that the founder always has special powers in the company because you know what built it. And so that is basically at its core the practitioner versus parrot. The people who came later are parroting why you do what you do. But you know what conditions you were in when you made this rule, and also you know how to break it.

and when to bend those rules. And so if you build something when you built it from those repetitions to distill out the few truths that exist, you'll know why those are the truths. Like, I'll give you a really simple example. So if we, you know, we've tried to learn YouTube and we've gotten better over time.

But in the beginning, I did this massive review and I figured out that the videos that we had that had three things at the beginning, proof, promise, plan, was the videos that did the best. And so then all of a Okay, all videos have to have proof promise plan right at the beginning, the first 30 seconds. Great. So we started doing that for a while.

And then we looked at the outliers among those and we were like, oh, well, we also, in some of the ones that did really well, also had some sort of visual picture of this plan. All right, so it became proof promise plan picture. Then we kept looking and we found out over more repetitions that if we also include some sort of pain or problem that's being solved, that also helps.
