#93 – AMA with Jason Fried: Work-life balance, avoiding burnout, defining success, company culture, and more
“Success is not defined by revenue targets or big numbers. It’s defined by, ‘Do I want to go to work tomorrow and do the same thing I did the day before? Am I enjoying this? Do I like the people I’m working with? Am I challenging myself intellectually and creatively?” Those are the things that matter.’” — Jason Fried
#79 – Ric Elias: Earning the gift of life
“This is how I would judge my life…’Did I earn my gift?’…We in our evolution can’t process death. Otherwise, we would have never left the cave. I left the cave. I was given the gift, and that gift is a responsibility.” — Ric Elias
#74 – Jason Fried: Optimizing efficiency and work-life balance
“People brag about how little sleep they get, and how much they work. I don’t understand that…if you really ask them about why they’re working so long, it’s not that there’s more work to do, it’s that there’s less time to do good work, because people’s days are broken into smaller and smaller and smaller chunks of time…And before you know it’s the end of the day and you’ve got nothing done even though you’ve been busy all day.” —Jason Fried
#08 – Tom Bilyeu: nutrition, fasting, meditation, mindset, immortality, and the secret formula of fulfillment
“When I’m at my most honest, I love helping with the body…but helping with the mind is what I’m meant to do.” —Tom Bilyeu
