Episode notes

Engaging in creative problem-solving during youth often predicts resourcefulness in adulthood. Demonstrating the ability to navigate and manipulate systems, whether through innocent childhood experiences or entrepreneurial ventures, is highly valued. For instance, gaining real-world experience by 'hacking' systems—subverting them for personal gain—illustrates potential for innovation and determination. Such attributes are significant indicators of success in business environments, as highlighted by selective processes like the one used by Y Combinator, which seeks applicants who showcase deliberate creativity and resourcefulness.

Episode 625: Sam Parr ( https://x.com/theSamParr ) and Shaan Puri ( https://x.com/ShaanVP ) are back with George Mack ( https://x.com/george__mack) to talk about the best ideas he’s come across.
