What I learned from having an intense and fun 3 hour dinner with Michael Ovitz.
1: Mediocrity is always invisible until passion shows up and exposes it.
2: There's no ceiling on where you can push your profession.
3: Don't be unequally yoked. Pick partners that have the same ambition as you.
4: Read biographies. Know everything about the history of your industry.
5. Have a profound sense of belief. The world is very malleable.
6: There’s opportunity hiding in plain sight.
7: By endurance we conquer.
8: Work 10% less. Optimize for the long term.
9. Surround yourself with people who will tell you the truth.
10: Retirement is lame.
