Society Always Wants New Things ft. Naval Ravikant
You're not going to get rich renting out your time
But you say that you will get rich by giving society what it wants
But does not yet know how to get
At scale
That's right
We talked about before money is IOUs from society saying You did something good in the past
Now here's something that we owe you for the future
And so
Society will pay you for creating things that it wants
That society doesn't yet know how to create those things

Maintain Your Freedom ft. Naval Ravikant
Akira
He's got clout
People who are living far below their means
Enjoy a freedom that people busy upgrading their lifestyles just can't fathom And I think that's very important
Like just do not upgrade your lifestyle all the time to maintain your freedom And it just gives your freedom of operation
Once we make a little bit of money you still want to be living like your old self So that's just the worry goes away
So, don't run up and upgrade that house
Lifestyle and all that stuff
Let's say you get $1,000 an hour
The problem is that when you go into a work lifestyle like that
You don't just suddenly go from making twenty dollars an hour to

You’re Not Going To Get Rich Renting Out Your Time ft. Naval Ravikant
Akira he's got clout
The first point was about how you're not going to get rich
You're not going to get rich renting of your time
You must own equity a piece of a business to gain your financial freedom
This is probably one of the absolute most experienced points
People seem to think that you can create wealth and make money through work It's probably not going to work there are many reasons for that
But the most basic is just that your inputs are very closely tied to your output In almost any salaried job
Even the one that's paying a lot for our like lawyers or a doctor
You're still putting in the hours and every hour you get paid
So, what that means when you're sleeping you're not earning
When you're retired you're not earning
When you're on vacation you're not earning
And you can't earn nonlinearly
You're not going to get rich renting out your time Renting out your time

Luck To Destiny ft. Naval Ravikant
I think it's pretty interesting that the first three kinds of luck
There are very common clichés for them that everybody knows
And then for that last kind of luck that comes to you out of the unique way that you act There's no real cliché for it
For the first three kinds there is dumb luck or blind luck
The second kind of luck does the cliché that fortune favors the bold
The third kind of luck people say that chance favors the prepared mind
But for the fourth kind of luck there is not really a common cliché out there

Making Money is not about Luck ft. Naval Ravikant
Obviously, we want to be wealthy
Then we want to get there in this lifetime without having to rely on luck
Akira
A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of person that makes money
A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of person that makes money
I like to think that if I lost all my money
And if you drop me on a random street in any English-speaking country within 5 or 10 years I'd be wealthy again right
Because it's just the skillset that I've developed and I think anyone can develop

True Wealth Creation ft. Naval Ravikant
There is this notion that making money is evil
Like rooted back down all the way to
Money is the root of all evil
People thing think that bankers steal our money
It is somewhat true that in a lot of the world there is a lot of theft going on all the time
The history of the world in some sense is this predator prey relationship of makers and takers
There are people who go out and create things build things and work hard on things
Then there are people who come along and take
With a sword

Everybody can be Wealthy ft. Naval Ravikant
Overall capitalism is intrinsic to the human species
Capitalism is not something we invented
Capitalism is not even something we discovered
It is innate to us in every exchange that we have
When you and I exchange information, I want some information back from you I give you information
You give me information
If we weren't having a good information exchange you go talk to somebody else
So, the notion of exchange and keeping track of credits and debits
This is built into us as flexible social animals
We are the only animals in the Animal Kingdom that cooperate across genetic boundaries
Most animals don’t even cooperate

The Purpose Of Wealth Is Freedom ft. Naval Ravikant
Everyone vaguely knows
That they want to be wealthy
But they don’t have
A good set of principles
To do it by
Wealth is then thing that you really want
Wealth is assets that earn while you sleep
Wealth is the factory
The robots
That’s cranking out things
Wealth is the computer program that’s running at night
That’s serving
Other
Customers
Wealth is
Even money in the bank that is being reinvested into other assets
And into other businesses
Even a house can be a form of wealth
Because you can rent it out
