Episode notes

The idea comes from Astro Tello, who's the Google X guy. He's just like a wild, wild dude. I can imagine his personal life. But yeah, he's like the dude who runs all the like, you know, moonshot stuff at Google. The point of this framework is to say like, what's the part that's actually the sizzle here? It's the flame. It's the monkey juggling with flames. Like go and speak to someone if they want the monkey in the flames first.

The NIA boys discuss the power of quitting, the Visualize Value origin story, the law of compounding, and decision-making frameworks.
