Naval has such clarity of thoughts. How does one achieve this ? Is this something that can be learnt ?
Read the works of clear thinkers (subject is not so important.) Two that leap to mind: Wendell Berry and Norbert Wiener
Thank you

Lots of LSD

#13The interviewer seems to be fawning over Naval, or maybe he's easily amused. Either way, it was kinda annoying, but a good interview nevertheless.

#14Loved the interview and good questions overall. I like the candidness with which Naval speaks. A friendly suggestion to the interviewer: please keep the uhms and yeahs when the other person is speaking to a minimum or none. It's distracting and spoils the listening experience, especially when it's audio only. I also heard a phone buzz at one point :) That said, great score on getting Naval on Outliers.
I'm always bothered by un-edited podcasts. It isn't hard. I have a tiny little podcast with few listeners and still edit them all. For an hour long podcast I can easily cut out 5 minutes worth of pauses, "ummm"s, "you know"s, talking over each other and mis-talking. Makes the podcast sound so much smoother.
Probably takes me somewhere between 2-3 hours to edit a 1 hour podcast. Yes, that is a lot, but if 100 people listen to it and it saves then 5 minutes then that is well worth it. As an added plus, you and your guests sound a lot smarter.

I like the saving others time math - nice way to think about it.

#17OT: Is AngelList still a thing? Anyone still using it? Edit: Since this post got dovnvotes let me get my point clear. None of my friends ever raised funds via AngelList, they raised by approaching investors directly (they say raising via AngelList is super needy and bad for your reputation), AngelList's traffic is not growing anymore rather the opposite, their job section is quite popular among startups but again, do…
Think of AngelList as a platform for angel investors to leverage their expertise with outside capital. These days, founders don't raise on AngelList, rather angel investors use AngelList to raise capital for their deals. There's a group of people who have very good instinct, connections, and dealflow, but don't have enough personal liquid capital to be writing frequent large checks. There's also quite a bit of capital that doesn't itself have this access. AngelList brings those two groups together; and it all happens privately behind the scenes. Angels can write 100k+ checks out of lightweight funds, or on a deal-by-deal basis. Outside investors can get exposed to high quality early-stage deals.

The Joe Rogan Experience is probably my favorite podcast and the unedited nature of it is one big plus. I think people over-exaggerate uhs and umms. If it's every other word, yeah. Otherwise, it's not THAT big of a deal in most cases.
