Episode notes
Use Friction To Shape Habits
- Remove small friction to make desired habits automatic, like choosing a ground-floor apartment or pre-opening work tabs.
- Add friction to reduce unwanted habits, e.g., remove junk food or delete game saves to stop playing.
Find And Defend Your Gold Medal
- Identify your "gold medal": the one skill you do better than anyone and lean into it daily.
- Stop treating every new idea as equal; double down on what uniquely scales for you.

- That single-mindedness lets them scale deeply instead of chasing side-hustles or fads.
