    Ep 25: Best of Bezos

    In this episode, we talk about learnings from Jeff Bezos' operating style - trying to identify areas where we can apply these learnings to our personal and professional lives.  Jeff Bezos, as most of us would know, is the legendary founder-CEO of Amazon.com - possibly the most successful company of the current century. He has recently stepped down from his post of CEO at Amazon to pursue interests - specifically in space exploration with this company Blue Origin.  We cover the following themes in our discussion: 1. Clarity - Amazon's famous narrative, 6-pager meetings (No Powerpoint!). 2. Balance - Evaluating multiple decision frameworks simultaneously and using the best ones. Specifically, the Type-1 and Type-2 decision-making process.  3. Conviction, Self-belief & Bezos' famous regret-minimization framework. Our recommendation for the episode: 1. Invent & Wander - The Collected Writings of Jeff Bezos, with an Introduction by Walter Isaacson 2. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams 3. Carry On - Rainbow Rowell 4. Siddhartha - Herman Hesse 5. Beyond The Last Blue Mountain: A Life Of J. R. D. Tata - R.M. Lala 6.

    Ep 24: Money and its Myriad Mysteries

    In this episode, we have a freewheeling chat about money and our philosophies around it. We talk about how people think about money and how it affects their decision making. While this was recorded in the week that Bitcoin hit $40k and Elon Musk became the richest man in the world, a week where money took centre-stage in people's minds, it seems even more relevant this week as GameStop hits record highs, propped up by online armies of retail investors. In such whirlwind times, having a philosophy around money and thinking about how to think about money is important lest you get carried away by all the FOMO swirling around you. Content discussed in this episode: The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel The Psychology of Money (Article) by Morgan Housel Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur by Derek Sivers How I got rich on the other hand by Derek Sivers Ed Catmull on how he helped foster creative collaboration at Disney and Pixar by Ed Catmull How Pixar Fosters Collective Creativity by Ed Catmull
