LG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lindy baby

Great episode guys, you made me want to re-read Antifragile for the 4th time
-
Perfect addition to a walk in nature. Would you do a pod on zero to one? I think that it is an incredible book and the interesting bit is that in some sense it goes against some central points in antifragile, yet has a truth aspect to it. Would be cool to hear how they relate and what cumulative wisdom could be extracted from them both
-
great work. Keep the good work up.
-
Amazing in-depth video as always. Great content guys!
-
this was a fun one 👀🚀

can’t wait to listen to

Loved the podcast Would love to see a podcast on skin in the game. That book in my view is as dense as antifragile (or even more)
