Good to know I'm not the only one who finds Tim Ferriss cringeworthy.

I've got a question for you guys! What do you think of Gary Vaynerchuck ?

He produces some interesting content, but, I agree: there is something about his style of delivery that is irritating. I tried to quantify it while listening to his podcast but I can't quite put my finger on it.
All of the pep talk type Youtube channels that OP mentions (Gary Vee, Mark Cuban etc), they push (IMO) a wrong idea of startups : they all say you should work 16 hours a day, bare minimum sleep, hustle and grind (god, those words make me cringe). That advice completely ignores health and general well being, which is essential if you're in it for the long haul. Anyway, this list seems interesting. Thanks OP for compil…
Agree with this. If founder cannot make work this without loosing sleep and enough rest. 1. Can they take sound decisions? Is there any datapoint on this. i.e. List of companies gone south due to this specific type of working 2. How will they build the team with this kind of culture? 3. If they value these for themselves would they value it for employees / customers?
Are there examples, of hopefully non wunderkid geniuses, who succeeded by just clocking in and giving it their all? Without the help of adderall, microdosing, or any other "nootropic"?

He makes exactly one good point, and then repeats it incessantly: there's a tendency amongst entrepreneurs to do too much planning and not enough execution. His practical advice to "document rather than create" is a good synthesis of a solution, I think. Everything else beyond that is just pep-talk.
what does this mean?
