How to Get Deeper and Deeper in an Industry

Kevin Kwok (@kevinakwok) joined Erik in 2018 to discuss a wide range of topics. We’re re-releasing some of the best episodes of the podcast this summer.

They talked about:

- Why the stock market exists and why after the crash of 2008 no one said that we should shut it down.

- The ideas of "loops and funnels" and "constraints and compounding" — and how Kevin thinks about those mental models.

- The history of corporate structures and what they might look like in the future.

- What might be possible with crypto that was previously impossible without crypto, and why people seem to be only trying to replicate already-existing tech using crypto.

- Twitter, and why it's like being "on chain."

- How to think about your career and how the Valley's unique work culture has contributed to its success.

- The idea of personal ICOs.

- Why most companies think about the impact of PR on consumers when in reality they should think about PR's impact on recruiting.
