Hey there šŸ‘‹

šŸ“¢ Announcement

Happy to announce, that I’m starting a new podcast with my friend Pranav.

It’s called The Social Code.

It’s about the messy, complex, deeper conversations that we need to be having as a society.
The podcast covers topics that are hard to cover in a newsletter or a Tweet.

Some issues need deep, reflective conversations, and can only be addressed via a live discussion.

I’ve been having such conversations with Pranav for many years now. He’s a social scientist, Ph.D., works in academia, and I’m a practitioner, operating in the ā€œreal worldā€.

So our points of view differ on many things.

And that difference often brings out interesting insights.

The first series of episodes is around the idea of work and how it has evolved over time.

Right from the hunter-gatherer days to modern times.

What is the meaning of work, how it has evolved over time, and how does money come into the picture.

Check it out, and do let us know what you think. We are just starting out, so we desperately need feedback on how we can improve the podcast for you.

The Social Code of Work:


We’ve been discussing self-employment over the last few weeks, and looks like there’s a global recession on the way.

People are getting fired, companies are lowering their projections.

This can either be the best time to start working for yourself or the worst time šŸ˜…

Let’s see how it goes.

But one thing is for sure, the next 12-24 months are going to be economically hard for everyone.

Here’s how I’m preparing for the recession as a solopreneur:

Now, on to the 5 cool things šŸ‘‡

How Learning Happens | David Perell

ā€œInspiration is the keystone of learning. It’s the engine behind a student’s motivation and the glue that makes ideas stick. But because our school system undervalues the necessity of inspiration, students don’t learn as much as they could.Ā 

Why do people learn things?Ā 

Usually, because they need to. They’re frustrated by something, either in themselves or the world.ā€œ

How to Pick a Career (That Actually Fits You) | Wait But Why

ā€œFor most of us, childhood is kind of like a river, and we’re kind of like tadpoles.

We didn’t choose the river. We just woke up out of nowhere and found ourselves on some path set for us by our parents, by society, and by circumstances. We’re told the rules of the river and the way we should swim and what our goals should be.

Our job isn’t to think about our path—it’s to succeed on the path we’ve been placed on, based on the way success has been defined for us.

Quitting Wall Street to become a creator | RadReads Newsletter founder Khe Hy | I Am A Creator S2E2

ā€œKhe Hy had everything he’d dreamed of as a self-described ā€œnerdyā€ kid from an immigrant family - a high-paying job in Wall Street, a fancy New York City apartment, and as many shoes as he wanted, the kind he could never afford as a kid. But he wasn’t happy.

No matter how much money he made or how many promotions he got or how many expensive things he could buy, he just didn’t feel alive.ā€

🧠 Something to think about

Twitter avatar for @ayushtweetshereAyush šŸ™ @ayushtweetshere
Unpopular opinion: Don't read the classics Read modern books written by bloggers/writers They optimise their writing for shorter attention spans. You'll learn a lot more that way.
