Actually the question was about broadly how to learn things quickly.

>If you have someone who needs to learn how to quickly, you don't teach them theory Elon would disagree: "One bit of advice: it is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic…

Always appreciate these thoughtful critiques on HN :)

> I would have included a sauté pan Yep. It's the first recommendation on the list! Though I typo'd (fixed now) as sauce pan.

> Follow the recipe, then don't follow it. Yes! At first I found it super helpful be ultra-precise: read the recipe twice, use a digital thermometer exactly, measure everything, et…

Agree that's the true minimum viable set, and you can cook a lot of things with just that. But I think if a novice cook was trying to work through the cookbooks I recommended, they…

Agreed! But, I think very novice cooks should rigorously follow recipes, learn what a good result is across a wide variety of dishes, then learn how to substitute things or change …

Good catch! I just typo'd and used convection twice.

Hi folks, Tyler here from Earnest Capital. I'll be leading one of these Mastermind Sprints and happy to answer any questions or hear suggestions here. Basically like a lot of folks…

investors like me are at a basic level middlemen. We have to raise capital from other sources and then invest it in founders. So it's not so much a questions of what kind of return…

i hear you. not enough. we're scaling up as fast as we can!

all good. we can pivot to Goat Trail by Earnest Capital(TM)

Ah yes, fair. I'm not sure there can be a true solution to "we have to see your data before know if we can invest or not" Our approach here is 1) we always give value before we ask…

hmm, will look into it. assume it's some default accessibility feature of our site theme

Yea, for founders going down a traditional VC path, there is some what weird but actually sensible logic to the idea that "being good at pitching VCs" is actually a useful skill to…

Can you say more? We explicitly do ask, at the end of each section, if founders want to (optionally) send us the results to build up their profile/"application"... so there's some …

Agreed. But also, the way raise money for Earnest is very similar to Trailhead: https://twitter.com/tylertringas/status/1260972763285774337?... Build a relationship and have a disc…

+1. Let's hope

Thanks! The gate-keeping / "kiss the ring" approach to raising money has got to go.

Hmm, i had no idea. It's a derivative of our Founder Summit branding. Trailhead is the start of the path toward the summit. Also I like to hike. I think it's a generic enough term …
