yes, i thought john cena like body was achievable.
but after working out for 4 years consistently, i can pretty much say its nigh impossible.
if you want to bulk up like that, you need steroids. yes, even john cena like body which doesn't look that huge but its huge & can't be done without steroids.
heck, the liver king used the carrot problem incredibly to his advantage. he told people he got big eating liver. only after he made his $100m empire did he admit to it on andrew schultz podcast.
i have heard you can't get big in hollywood/bollywood if you don't exchange sexual favors. that's why they all protect rapists, sexual assaulters, etc...
there's a reason those who complain about sexual assaults, rape, etc... have their careers finished rather than the opposite.
like epstein's connections are not known bcz they are all in on it. everyone has skeletons in the closet. i mean it wouldn't be hard to get away with murder/rape if someone were rich. sounds like sci-fi but i find it real after hearing those dubai stories.
this is just one example. 3 examples op listed were also terrific.
one such case is recent. someone who is a recent graduate got a job through connections (nepotism?) & makes a lot of salary than others working the same position while doing little to no work. this is a personal experience of someone close.
then there's black hat tactics startups use that they can't admit to. like airbnb using #1 hacker. or someone using leaked databases to find emails. i saw a recent startup that matched twitter accounts with emails when twitter database got leaked. i'm sure that person is telling people some other story on how he got emails.
once you look at it, you'll find a lot of carrot problems in life. the reason why i posted it last night as soon as i found it.
dude no. most foreign apps won't work in india bcz we don't like to pay for apps.
"people come to india for dau, not arpu" ~ kunal shah on the knowledge project [0]
tiktok executed perfectly bcz they were optimizing for dau but even flipkart is doing better than amazon here. many apps just won't work bcz they don't understand. see how netflix lost by asking to pay?
people don't understand india as much as they think they do so i'd suggest you to watch the video below as it covers actual india from an actual indian who understands it.
nope, not only this guys examples are bad but he just tries too hard to be a contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. i called him that & he blocked me [1] for some reason. probably there's some truth in it that he got hurt.
his examples are so bad. i've read paul graham's essays, naval's thread & alex hormozi's $100m offers book & all are quite good & easy to understand. naval's thread is a big hard but he has whole bunch of podcasts (4 hours) [2] explaining them in detail & articles [3] to accompany them.
the op's entire schtick is to sell his courses by writing articles. first he wrote an article on build a business, not an audience [4] & then did a complete 180 turn & has been building an audience ever since. then he started selling courses. it's like his schtick is to go against the popular ideas & attack them to garner following.
although, he does have some good insights in a few of his articles like when he summarized a book (nathan latka) or a video (sam parr)... rest of his posts are purely trying to hard to be a contrarian. tries to hard to be like peter thiel except he doesn't have any real arguments.
you don't have to believe me. just read $100m offers & apply it. that book could've saved me many years of trying to figure out the framework myself & has every single technique mentioned on how to make a good offer. if you actually follow the advice to the t, you will actually be on the pathway to your 1st million. not to say, the author himself is worth >$100m & has a portfolio of companies making $150m/year so he'll be a billionaire in a year or two. you don't become a billionaire without any real insights unless you are a trust fund baby.
i've wrote custom code for it that i'll share maybe 1 day but not yet.
what i did was use markdown with node.js & wrote a script that all chapters are read from it.
it looks like this:
_book/ chapter1/ pic1.jpg index.md chapter2/ . . . chapter100/
and then it uses princexml with 100 loc of css to output a beautiful pdf.
this should definitely be a saas though. it has massive potential.
