You have to be willing to do something that hasn’t been done before.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Much of success is due to luck, time, talent, and skill – NOT hard work
  • “I don’t even know what ‘working hard’ means. If you get to sit behind a desk all day in an air-conditioned room, there’s no such thing as hard work.” – Jason Fried
• “If lightning strikes, keep that lightning in the bottle” – Jason Fried
  • “If you’re lucky enough to have a hit business, ride it out until it’s over as opposed to stopping and trying to do it again. Chances are very slim that you’ll be able to do it again.”
• Venture capital is a slippery slope. Think twice about raising money for your business.
  • “A lot of businesses are destroyed by unreasonable expectations of growth and having too much money in the bank” – Jason Fried
• Reconsider setting goals for yourself or your company
  • Instead, just try to do the best job you can
• Much of the busyness that people experience is due to a constant interruption of meetings, phone calls, and email
• With whatever you’re working on, find the epicenter (the essence of its value)
  • This quote from Jason is an excellent way of explaining it: “If you try to build Google calendar in 6 weeks, you can’t do it. But there’s a version of Google calendar you can build in 6 weeks that solves 80-90% of the issues.”
  • Most projects can get done in half the time if they’re 95% as good
• To become better at saying “no”:
  • Ask yourself: “If X was tomorrow, would I still say ‘yes’ to it?”
  • Realize: When you say “yes” to something, you’re basically saying “no” to 1,000 other things

In this episode, Jason Fried, co-founder of Basecamp, shares his beliefs around achieving business success in a modern world which tends to disproportionately focus on the massive success stories (the outliers). Jason gives his honest take on companies like WeWork, Uber, and Lyft that may give off the appearance of wild success but may instead provide an example of the dangers of perverse incentives. We get into Jason’s backstory, and how his affinity for optimizing efficiency and production in the workplace culminated with the creation of Basecamp, his very successful web-based project management software business. Perhaps most importantly, we get really deep into all aspects of work-life balance and what it really means to “work hard” (Stay tuned for an AMA-style deep dive into the topic of work-life balance with Jason in the near future). In addition, Jason provides many more valuable nuggets including thoughts on some common mistakes made by businesses today, the value of giving employees autonomy, how to take the right types of risks, why he doesn’t set any goals, and much, much more.

We discuss:

• Jason’s background and his early entrepreneurial spirit [9:45];
  
• Views on completing higher education and the notion of hard work [24:00];
  
• Beliefs around success in business [35:00];
  
• WeWork, Uber, and Lyft: Poor business practices and the dangers of perverse incentives [41:30];
  
• Jason’s early career: his redesign approach and personal motivation [56:00];
  
• The genesis of Basecamp [1:10:00];
  
• Why Jason does not set goals but instead focuses on a vision [1:12:15];
  
• Workplace motivation and hiring practice [1:20:30];
  
• The importance of luck and not overworking [1:32:00];
  
• A framework to work less and optimize for workplace autonomy [1:38:00];
  
• The importance of saying ‘no’ more often (and tips for doing so) [1:55:00];
  
• A shared passion for watches [2:03:30];
  
• Guarding against the perils of phone addiction [2:08:45];
  
• Jason’s views on email and chat for communication [2:15:00] and;
  
• More.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• The absolute best company leaders are able to dissolve their ego into the company and develop a sense of humility far above the rest
• Focus on your decision-making process, not the outcome
  • Remember: You can make the right decision and still have a bad outcome
• We live in a probabilistic world and our brains aren’t wired for it
• “We tend to think that we are rational because we’re smart, but deep down, feelings win”– Jim Collins
  • As logical as people are, humans are emotional beings at their core
• Try to change every ‘what’ decision into a ‘who’ decision
  • Not – “‘What should we do about this cybersecurity threat?’
    • But, – “Who should we have involved in it?”
  • Not – “What should we do about this investment decision?”
    • But – “Who should we have involved in it?”
• “What we’ve found is that the most durable results happen as a series of good decisions that accumulate one upon another over a very long period of time. This creates a massive compounding effect.” – Jim Collins
  • This is also known as a flywheel principle – small actions over time compound to create massive results
• Look for situations in life where you can fire bullets (try things), aim and calibrate (make sure you’re getting good results), and then fire a cannonball (go all-in)

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• The top reasons why a product fails:
  • It’s too complicated – simplicity is king
  • It doesn’t spread by word-of-mouth
  • It doesn’t take advantage of the power of iteration
  • The founder is too fearful of creating something novel
  • It’s not launched into a community
• Worship your early adopters
  • “They are everything. They’ll take you to the highest of highs, they’ll show you the way, and they’ll help explain the product to friends. They’ll do your work for you, but you have to go and find those people.” – Brian Norgard
• Your product has to stand for something. If you don’t know what that is, your customer certainly won’t know what that is either.
  • When you put your product into the market and take a stance – hold that line
• “One of the things you learn about developing products is that if your aim is to make all your users happy, you will fail“ – Brian Norgard

Brian Norgard is the Former Chief Product Officer at the top-grossing mobile app in the world, Tinder. In less than 3 years, Tinder created over $11Bn in market value and with Brian's creation of Tinder Gold, Superlike and Boost, the platform has seen over 200m downloads and created millions of matches. Prior to Tinder, Brian founded Tappy, a mobile messaging application backed by Kleiner Perkins and acquired by Tinder. Before that, Brian built one of the fastest-growing Facebook applications in history (Chill) which reached over 30MM people. Fun fact about Brian also, at 25, Brian was the youngest GM/VP in the history of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp after the acquisition of his first company Newroo where he served as the GM of MySpace News. If that was not enough, Brian is also a prolific angel investor with investments in Tesla, SpaceX, AngelList and Coinmine.

In Today’s Episode You Will Learn:

1.) How Brian made his way into the world of startups and came to be the youngest VP at News Corp at the tender age of 25? How did that lead to his becoming CRO then CPO @ Tinder?

2.) What is the No 1 reason that products fail today? What can founders and designers do to retain the simplicity of product over time? How does complexity change the product experience? Why does Brian believe that product experience is an art? Bring in science, to what extent does Brian believe testing and iteration is key to success in product? How does one know how long is enough time to test for vs too short and not enough data?

3.) When thinking about distribution, what does Brian look for in the way that people describe a product to their friend? How does Brian think that the most successful products bake distribution into the core user behaviour? How does Brian think about community building around product? Who has done this best in Brian's mind?

4.) How should the very best founders and product people think about product risk? How can they know when to use risk to their advantage vs be mindful of excessive risk? On the features themselves, how important is it for a product to be 10x cheaper/faster etc? Why does Brian believe that is largely VC jargon?

5.) What were Brian's biggest takeaways from launching Tinder Gold and seeing Tinder become the Top Grossing App in the world? How does that sort of event also impact the team? How does Brian think about whether one should celebrate those moments or push forward to the next goal?

On this solo episode Sean discusses one of his key mental models, “Gaps in Judgement”.

“Gaps in judgement…. We all have them. But how do we become better at identifying them? At understanding them? At lessening the surface area from the unknown to known? What you don’t know tends to be just as important as what you do know. “

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• The microbiome is the community of organisms (viruses, bacteria, and fungi) that live in and on the human body
  • It consists of the gut microbiome, the skin microbiome, and the mouth microbiome (to name a few)
• There are many issues with microbiome diagnostic tests – don’t infer too much from the results
• A diverse microbiome isn’t always a better microbiome – there are many contributing factors to overall microbiome health
• From a microbiome perspective, it’s best to avoid artificial sweeteners like stevia and aspartame
• The number one predictor of a diverse and resilient microbiome is the consumption of over 30 different kinds of fruits and vegetables in any given week
  • “Diversity of diet is good for diversity of gut”
  • A good predictor of an unhealthy microbiome is the consumption of <10 different kinds of fruits/vegetables in a given week
• If you eat whole food sources, you should have no need for a fiber supplement
• “If there are risks of meat consumption, they can be attenuated by appropriately adjusting your vegetable intake”
• All fats are not created equal in the eyes of the microbiome
  • Avoid excess amounts of saturated fat
  • Eat more monounsaturated fats (the primary fat in extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, wild-caught salmon, and grass-fed beef) and omega-3s (found in fatty fish)

This episode is all about light, but it's certainly not light on content! See, the last time I was in Malibu, myself, music producer Rick Rubin and today's guest - Matt Maruca of RA Optics - spent plenty of time geeking out on all things light. I've known Matt for two years now, and consider him to be one of the world's leading authorities on what is called "photobiomodulation" - or the use of specific wavelengths of light therapy to cause some very beneficial health effects, and also a guy who knows more about blue-light blocking glasses and limiting the harmful effects of artificial light than just about anyone I know. Today's episode is a special two-parter. The first section is yours truly filling you in on how sunlight makes you skinny and blue light makes you fat. The second part is a special solosode from Matt, in which he fills you in on the some little-known aspects of how to use light and how to block light in a way that will affect your energy, sleep, mitochondrial health, and much more, including history of the use of sunlight for health, why the sun and skin cancer isn’t black and white, lots of research on how light affects human biology and the benefits of sunlight, how artificial light affects the body and much more. Just to give you a "taste" of what you're about to hear: after preparing this episode, I asked Matt: "can you point me to a post or research on "best time of day to cheat if you are going to cheat" based on circadian rhythm/sun exposure? You alluded to it in the audio." He replied: "I think it would be morning/mid-day. One of the factors leading me to say this is Ayurveda which I imagine you're familiar with. An Ayurvedic doctor I started working with explained this to me in their terms. Basically, in the middle of the day as the sun is stronger, the metabolism is more active. They call this energy "pitta", or fire. So, we can burn through stuff pretty well. This is why they generally suggest eating "heavier" food in the middle of the day for lunch. And, it's a no brainer to me to fast through dinner because then the body can completely burn through everything you've consumed. As for the Western Research, Satchin Panda from the Salk Institute leads the way. I recommend watching his TED talk where he explains their experiments on mice. They basically found that mice eating healthy food when their metabolism is turning off had way more problems than mice eating unhealthy food when their engines are running full force. Because they are nocturnal the times are reversed for them relative to us. So for us the best time would be late morning to mid-day. To me, when eating this way I wouldn't even consider it a cheat because the body can move through stuff so well. If you are comparing to someone who is usually eating a "healthy" dinner at 7 or 8 PM, I am 100% convinced that it would be healthier to "cheat" every day in the middle of the day and fast through dinner then to do what that person is doing. Based on the research, there really is no such thing as "healthy food" after 5 PM or within 4 hours of sleep. During our discussion, you'll also discover: -The impact of light on human biology, for better or worse [8:10] Deleterious effects of artificial light have been well researched Recent studies show artificial light linked to breast cancer and sleep disorders Exposure to artificial bright light at night suppresses melatonin secretion and increases sleep latency (how long it takes to fall asleep) LED's are replacing fluorescent bulbs (for better efficiency) LED's cause retinal damage, cell death in eye tissue Dimming, color changing features make things worse (flicker) Flicker can cause irreversible damage to the retina Oxidative stress damage Photobiology: The study of the effects of ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation on living organisms. Book: The Influence of the Blue Ray of Sunlight Red light used to treat smallpox in 1903 Phototherapy becomes therapeutic intervention Book: Light Therapeutics by John Harvey Kellogg Light affects metabolism mTOR in the summer; AMPK in the winter Being careful with light exposure allows you to strike a proper balance  between anabolism and catabolism -10 light biohacking tactics to optimize your body and brain [17:30] Use healthy light bulbs Color rendering index (CRI) Look for a CRI of 97 or higher in LED bulbs Lower than 3000 color temperature (kelvin) Avoid incandescents coated in white Get as much morning sunlight as possible Morning fasted walk in the sunshine Eat a diet rich in fatty acids (Vitamin A and D) Block blue light as much as possible at night 400-485 nanometer wavelength RA Optics Avoid artificial light (night and morning) Simulate sunlight as much as possible (infrared) Only use red light in the evening Candles (fragrance free, bees wax) Hidden smartphone red screen trick Use Iris Tech on all your monitors Use anti-glare computer monitor Eizo monitor (Ben uses the Flex Scan) Use Light Dims while traveling Bright light on the skin can affect the circadian rhythm Install a Drift Box on your TV Don't overuse sunglasses Use photobiomodulation as much as possible Vie Light JOOVV -How Matt Maruca became interested in light and blue-light blockers [41:55] At age 14, didn't feel good in general; had acne issues Changed diet to Paleo Previous common health issues fixed themselves (thought they were genetic) Influences: Ben Greenfield, Mark Sisson, Chris Kresser Discovered epigenetics Wandered from diet to diet with no real positive results to show for it Discovered cold thermogenesis Dr. Douglas Wallace linked dysfunctional mitochondria to chronic disease Focused on the fuel rather than the engine as the cause of his illnesses Explains why some people thrive on certain diets and others don't Mitochondrial dysfunction is the problem; light is the solution -The study of light exposure throughout history [58:00] Several civilizations have studied the efficacy of light on human health Egyptian Pharaoh was excluded from the annals of history because he believed in the power of light to enlighten his people Hippocrates prescribed sunbathing often Ancient Greek athletes used heliotherapy in their training Christophe Hufeland, pioneer in macrobiotics, wrote of the deleterious effects of a lack of light on the body and spirit 90% of kids had some sign of Rickets Disease during Industrial Revolution (lack of Vitamin D) In 1903, Niels Finsen discovers UV light from sun kills TB of the skin (wins Nobel Prize for Medicine) Auguste Rollier opens heliotherapy clinic in Swiss Alps in 1903 These discoveries create a "sun craze" - high in enthusiasm, low in knowledge The modern indoor lifestyle causes our body to crave sunlight; however, the skin has not adapted for the level of sunlight we crave, hence the problems we see today -The horrors of working and living under fluorescent lights [1:12:30] 1980 study found the incidence of malignant melanoma is much higher among office workers; lowest risk was sunbathers Can cause mutations in culture of animal cells From 1957-80, no change in ozone levels in Norway; yet rate of malignant melanoma raised among men Skin cancer rates have skyrocketed since 1900; yet most people work indoors 2016 study showed that avoiding the sun is worse than smoking You can develop a tolerance for sunlight with "solar callouses" Know when your body is warning you -How sunlight affects the body [1:19:00] Benefits of ultraviolet light Activates synthesis of Vitamin D Lowers blood pressure (release of nitric oxide) Increases efficiency of the heart Improves EKG readings and reduces cholesterol Avoidance of the sun is a form of malnutrition You can never mimic ultraviolet light Light is our life source; cells are designed to attract and capture light Organisms emit UV light for up to 18 hours after dying (soul leaving the body after death) -The importance of the circadian rhythm to our health [1:26:45] Circadian rhythm "Circadian" comes from two Latin words: circa (approximately) dias (one day) Jesus spoke of the eyes as an indicator of our overall health, physical and spiritual Eyes use a disproportionate amount of energy relative to its weight and size Light coming into the eyes regulates the hypothalamus, which regulates the autonomic nervous system 1953 study showed a circadian rhythm in every living creature Blue light blocking glasses need to block only light that reaches the inner retina, not all light The Circadian Code by Dr. Satchin Panda BGF podcast w/ Dr. Panda If we're ingesting even healthy substances when our engine needs to be shutting down, we're shooting ourselves in the foot Melatonin optimizes our body, repairs mitochondrial DNA We need darkness after sunset to secrete melatonin properly Blue Light Has a Dark Side (Harvard Health) Artificial light: Created to extend work hours Contain tremendous amounts of blue light Harms our circadian rhythm -Matt Maruca's Light Diet Protocol [1:49:50] Sleep (and wake) with the sun Doing otherwise disrupts the circadian rhythm Avoid artificial light, sleep as close to dusk as possible Replace bulbs w/ red bulbs Blue free bulbs Vintage Edison incandescent light bulbs Sleeping after 10 pm can be harmful to the nervous system Avoid screens after dark Iris Tech RA Optics blue light blocking glasses (Use code BEN10 for 10% off) Rise with the sun and bathe in the morning light Go to sleep early enough to rise with the sun Set an alarm for 30 minutes before sunrise for 7 days Avoid exposure to artificial light Practice sun gazing One hour walk outside can affect seasonal affective disorder (SAD) Sunglasses are disruptive Pink skin isn't a bad thing Live outdoors during the day Consume fatty seafood Good for the eyes and the brain Consume clean spring water Allows us to hold light better; much better than municipal or city water The Fourth Phase of Water by Gerald Pollack Bathe in cold water Cools our surfaces, allows us to assimilate with the light BGF podcast on cold thermogenesis w/ Dr. Jack Kruse Avoid manmade electromagnetic radiation Airplane mode Use ethernet cable rather than wifi Avoid bluetooth devices Defender Pad Cornet ED88T EMF/RF detector Cultivate your inner light The light is who you are (your soul) -And much more!
