  • Ep 20: Unexpected task and legal limitations

    Daily Update of tasks and things we learn along the way to building wealth and wisdom. Life of a CEO style podcast before we make it big.

    Cliff Notes:
    Just when we thought we were done with the wire frame, turns out that we only completed the low wire frame. Our programmer introduced us to the high wire frame next.
    In the same day, we spoke with our "legal advisor". Turns out that naming companies and app have a lot more limitations than we originally thought. More to come on how we proceed moving forward on that.
    We wrote a few key notes from Nick Bare's Podcast.
    "Stop seeking to fill your calendar."
    "A chip on your shoulder can provide an edge but not purpose."

  • Ep 17: Do More, Suffer, Commit

    Daily Update of tasks and things we learn along the way to building wealth and wisdom. Life of a CEO style podcast before we make it big.

    Cliff Notes:
    -Becoming exceptional means become the exception
    - Resetting expectations. A lot of times people are doing a lot less than they think they are doing. When you associate yourself with a higher caliber of person, you quickly realize there is always more you can do.
    - Giving 90% effort means you are only half way there.
    -Make sure what you are suffering for is worth suffering and that you are committed to it. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.
    - If the plan fails, change the plan, not the goal.
    - If you want what you said you wanted, then you have to pay the price you said you would be willing to pay.

    Cliff Notes:
    Inspired from Napoleon Hill's, Think and Grow Rich book. He introduces a six-step method for turning desire into reality:
    The Six Steps:
    1. Define Your Goal: Be specific about what you want to achieve (e.g., a specific amount of money).
    2. Determine What You’re Willing to Give: Decide what sacrifices or efforts you are willing to make in exchange for achieving your goal.
    3. Set a Definite Deadline: Specify a date by which you intend to achieve your goal.
    4.Create a Plan: Develop a concrete plan for achieving your goal and begin acting on it immediately, even if you don’t feel fully prepared.
    5. Write It Down: Write a clear statement of your goal, including the amount, deadline, what you’ll give in return, and your action plan.
    6. Read It Aloud Daily: Read your written statement aloud twice
