Long time no speak...

As you guys know recently I’ve been a bit MIA from this newsletter - and honestly for good reason.

You see, over the past few months, I’ve been surrounded by some of the greatest founders this planet has ever seen.

I’ve personally met Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Rockefeller, and Elon Musk.

Now you’re probably wondering how I could have possibly met those founders, and what does that have to do with me leaving you guys hanging?

Well here’s the truth.

Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, and Rockefeller are all dead.

Elon Musk is a trillionaire who works 24 hours per day to put a rocket on Mars.

So no - I haven’t actually met any of these founders.

However, I feel like I have.

Recently I’ve been diving deep into the autobiographies of the world’s greatest founders.

And man, these autobiographies are special.

You can quite literally feel the blood, sweat, and tears through every word.

And I can only imagine that these lessons felt similar to when cavemen discovered fire.

It's the real alpha in those autobiographies and timeless lessons that anyone can apply to their life to find more meaning, purpose, and success.

But this brings me back to the initial point of why I’ve been gone recently.

One of the things I discovered from diving deep into the minds of some of the greatest founders to live, is the understanding of time.

Here’s what I mean…

Chung Ju-yung, the founder of Hyundai, was just a poor kid from Korea.

So poor that he would eat bark for dinner to survive with his family of 20 in a 700 square foot home.

How did Chung go from starvation, to building a $100B company?

Here’s what Chung had to say…

“I had no money, but I had time and effort. That was my capital. Time is a form of capital provided equally to everyone. If I can be considered a successful person in my chosen profession, it is only because I was able to do my very best, based on strong convictions, and made the best use of this 'evenly distributed capital”

In other words, time is the most important capital we possess, more so important than money itself.

And after objectively looking at my situation - I realized that all of my effort and time should be maximizing my unicorn opportunity.

You see, right now I’m the head of Growth Operating at WHOP.com.

I have equity in this company, and I’m dedicated to growing this business to $100B.

On top of that I’m publishing offers for some of the biggest creators in the industry, and of course the dividends on some of these deals are quite nice.

So, as you can see writing daily newsletters didn’t really align with the concept of utilizing my time capital…

Until recently.

A few days ago, I realized I’d actually perform better if I had an outlet to express my thoughts.

I have the type of brain that literally never stops, and although there are some positives to that - there are also some extreme negatives.

I tend to find myself consumed by too many thoughts, so many thoughts that my brain aches.

And writing these newsletters helps with that, it’s practically a brain dump.

Now while I won’t promise daily newsletters, you can expect to get a lot more raw brain dumps sent directly to your inbox.

Tomorrow, I’ll be writing a newsletter on three of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since working inside of a $1B company.

It’s been useful for me - and I’m sure it’ll be useful for you.

Talk soon,

Malcolm.
