Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Focus your content and your curation within your newsletters to be read by your listeners on a very consistent basis.
2. Producing a massive amount of content is under-hyped. A lot of people are scared of producing a lot of content because they think it’ll oversaturate their listeners and get them to unsubscribe.
3. The higher the barrier, the lower the competition. When you can do something in this world, specifically in business, that's really hard to do - that's hard to replicate - the level of competition is going to be so much smaller.

3. It's important to surround yourself with people who understand you and believe in you and learn to build rapport with those kind of people as you evolve in your career.

Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Focus on creating a product that you’ll ship to users. It won’t be as fun and glamorous, but there’s more success in that.
2. Don’t try to see where the ball is going to be in 1 or 2 years from now. Depending on the industry, give it around 5 or 7 years from now, shoot for that, and it may lead you to something that’s 10x better.
3. It was not about beating the competition. It was more about the opportunity to be the first to bring people a connected experience at home.
