## Resource

I sat down with Eric Jorgensen, CEO of Scribe Media and author of The Book of Elon. Here are 3 things that stuck with me: What you think is your best is a fraction of what you're capable of. Elon isn't just working harder, he's cut through the noise to focus on what matters. First principles thinking breaks you free from conventional limits. Stop reasoning by analogy, asking what everyone else does. Start asking what's actually possible. The gap between those two questions is where innovation lives. Your uniqueness is your advantage. The world rewards people who are singular, -- Eric Jorgenson is the CEO of Scribe Media. He published two books with Scribe prior to becoming CEO. The Almanack of Naval Ravikant has sold over 1,000,000 copies, been translated into 30+ languages, and seen over 4,000,000 digital copies given away for free. He runs an early stage technology investment firm called Rolling Fun, and was previously in Growth & Product roles at Zaarly.
