Principles discussed in this interview:
“Nothing in” is the best way to guarantee “nothing out.” It doesn’t really matter what it is you’re hoping for output from—relationships, business, exercise, etc. Something in, almost always means something out—even if it’s less—but you can work with that 😊.
Keystone Habits are a Key to unlocking your potential. Repeated Patterns and habits are the fundamental building blocks of life.
You are by nature, anti-fragile. Wind extinguishes a candle and energizes a fire. Find and feed the anti-fragile in your life.
(if there’s time) No one does it alone—so be aware and celebrate and parry that for good!
