JC's Newsletter - Intensity is not a bug, it’s a feature
Dear friends,Every week, I’m sharing an essay that relates to what we are building and learning at Alan. Those essays are fed by the article I’m lucky enough to read and capitalise on. I’m going to try to be provocative in those essays to trigger a discussion with the community. Please answer, comment, and ping me! If you are not subscribed yet, it's right here! If you like it, please share it on social networks! Intensity is not a bug, it's a feature. It's necessary to have intensity to do great things.
Where I agree is that there's no point in having counterproductive intensity.
In the end, what matters in my opinion is
If we give these tools to people, if we help them make good decisions, if we recruit the right people, it really creates magic. I've been doing this for 15 years now, and I've seen it just hundreds of times.
So, how do we find the right dose of intensity which is again very productive, which makes our work a joy, what we are building together a joy to create happiness and greatness. Some good articles I have read this week👉The Huberman-ization of America (Rex Woodbury)
👉 Abridge, which automatically transcribes conversations between doctors and their patients, has raised a new round, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Redpoint Ventures, at a $850 million post-investment valuation. 👉Twitter Lori Shemek, PhD: Cancer absolutely hates mushrooms. (@LoriShemek)
It’s already over! Please share JC’s Newsletter with your friends, and subscribe 👇 Let’s talk about this together on LinkedIn or on Twitter. Have a good week! |
