Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• “You can be born with bad cards …but you have a choice and the power to craft your own destiny” – Jonny Kim
• “I’m a firm believer that shared hardship and suffering is one of the best ways to bring people together towards a common goal, to break down barriers, to form a brotherhood” – Jonny Kim
• Jocko and Jonny agree that experiencing war is like surviving cancer–It’s a horrible experience but you come a stronger and evolved person
  • “I would never trade it for anything and I would go back in the trenches right now in a split second…but I would never wish it on my own children and I hope they never see it.” – Jonny Kim
• To help pay for tuition, Jonny got a job giving out parking tickets
  • Some people may have viewed a Navy SEAL giving out parking tickets as below them but Jonny saw it as an exercise in humility: “You should never think you’re too good to do a job and I think you should be like that in everything you do” –Jonny Kim
    • “The moment you start to think you’re better than anyone else, you have poisoned yourself. You’re on the dark path.”
• Jonny is a Navy SEAL who got into Harvard medical school, but he still considers himself average both physically and mentally
  • His secret to success is grit and hard work: “I feel that I can stick with the goals and have deferred gratification…working hard is all I know I can do to make up for any advantages, natural or otherwise, that I don’t have.” – Jonny Kim
• As a child, Jonny never thought about becoming a doctor nor did he think about becoming an astronaut
  • He only had one goal in life: Leave a positive impact on the world
    • “That’s how I honor the brother we lost and I will never stop till the day I die, trying to fill that void because it’s a void that can never be filled” – Jonny Kim
      • Becoming a doctor and astronaut fit that goal
• As Jonny learned more about astronauts, he realized they’re a symbol of humanity and have the power to bring countries together  
  • “When you’re up there you don’t see these distinct borders between countries, you just see a lot of blue and a lot of land, and you see how fragile the planet is.” – Jonny Kim
    • Astronauts also inspire the next generations of scientists and explorers
      • “With the right attitude, with the right hard work, if you get up every time you fail, you can amount to something and you can do positive work”

• Succinctness is a good tool to get ideas to spread and carry, but not so, for truth
• What you wanted five years ago, may not be what you want now and that’s okay!
• Ask yourself: what you want now vs. what you want most = shallow happy vs. deep happy
• “What you do may not mean anything in 50 years, but if you enjoyed doing it, that’s great “ – Derek Sivers
• Tips to help power down:
  • Charge your phone overnight outside your bedroom
  • No electronics in the bedroom! It’s not sexy

Derek's episodes on The Tim Ferriss Show are some of my all time favourites so I was super excited to speak to him.

Expect to learn how to guide your choices at a crossroad, his views on excellence, why it doesn't matter if life has no meaning, why truth is less simple than it might seem, why the truth can be more complex than a simple answer, and when Derek is finally going to release his new books.

In an important conversation about the hard realities of the current world affairs, Moe and Kapil explore the hidden dimensions of a crisis and why it always reverts back to one's own mind.

I expect next week will be an exceptionally difficult week for many people and many cities, New York City chief among them. There are several very urgent needs.

This episode will highlight things that can be done to help healthcare workers (food, temp housing, PPE, ventilators and vent modification for higher capacity, etc.), as well as a few companies well positioned to immediately help.

I would encourage you to think of healthcare workers, alongside people working on vaccine development and drug development, as the walls of our collective city. By protecting and helping them, we protect and help ourselves and everyone around us. If they fail, we all fail. These brothers and sisters on the front lines need help now, and it cannot wait a week.

If it weren't for healthcare workers, I would be dead. If not for healthcare workers, my dad would be dead, and three uncles and two aunts would also be dead. If you are lucky enough to be healthy and reading this, you likely owe some thanks to healthcare workers. They are the (usually) invisible safety net for us all.

Thank you for listening to this one. It's important.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• During the current COVID-19 crisis, the best thing you can do for yourself—and others—is to stay home
  • Read that again. STAY HOME.
• Meditation & mindfulness are more important than ever. The nature of your mind CANNOT be ignored at a time like this.

  • The economy shut down almost overnight–We don’t know what will happen next or what the recovery process will look like

  • During the August 2011 crash when stocks fell 20%, 98% of Vanguard investors didn’t move their money
    • The majority of people aren’t panicking over the market: “A lot of people aren’t even paying attention…Most of those people don’t even know the password to their brokerage account” – Morgan Housel
• A total lockdown in the US isn’t likely so it may take longer to restart the economy
  • “The short-term hit that we might take might be less, but I have a feeling it’s just going to be a much more dragged out process to both experience the downturn and then a slowness in the recovery afterwards” – Morgan Housel
• Morgan keeps a large portion of his portfolio in cash (about 20%) to avoid huge swings in his net worth: “I don’t manage my money to achieve the highest returns, I manage my money to get the best night of sleep” – Morgan Housel
  • “It’s exchanging the opportunity to make a killing in exchange for making sure you don’t get killed”
• “If you want to earn 10% a year on your money over the long haul, you need to put up with the fact that every couple years you might lose 20, 30, or 50% of it for a somewhat short period of time. That’s the price of admissions to the markets.” – Morgan Housel
