📏 What ruler do you use to measure success -
- The idea of "disruptive innovation" was pioneered by Clayton Christensen, one of my favorite business thinkers and writers (most notably The Innovator's Dilemma but also a number of amazing articles). His radical theory explains how great
companies fall, and unexpected, small startups rise. He recently passed away, and in honor of his legacy, I wanted to share his TED Talk called How You Measure Your Life, based on his book of the same title, which is fantastic.

4️⃣ What 4% makes all the difference -
- In 2019 I began preparing for my 2020 Challenge (making 1 song/month every month this year). I took over 270 pages of notes from books, courses, and tutorials trying to figure out what it took to make a song. Yet somehow I didn't manage to learn 3 of the most important things. I shot a "behind-the-scenes" video about these 3 learnings, including the 4% Rule which I'm
trying to keep in mind so I don't lose my mind :)

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"Talent hits a target no one else can hit.
Genius hits a target no one else can see."

💲 What's the best way to lose $5 billion -
- Carl Jacobi, a German mathematician, liked to solve problems backwards. Rather than asking, "What's the best way to get wealthy?" he would ask, "What's the best way to lose wealth?" In the Vanderbilt story we have our answer.

👨💻 What a superhuman memory looks like -
- Artist Stephen Wiltshire is autistic and has a superhuman memory. He can look at a city for just a minute and then draw the view with uncanny detail — from memory. I've been reading about some interesting relationships between autism and intelligence. In many cases, people with autism will have an ability to
encode a unbelievable amount of information (without compression), but have an inability to generalize (which demands lossy compression).
