For those of you waiting for the response to @mikecarlooch ... It's done... Now I am going to go catch my breath. I also had @Antifragile on for a bit as well.


This one may go down as one of the most epic episodes of KKRS.

Good podcast. I paused it now during the part where you said "why would they give a 19 year old with not much track record access to their resources" to post this - Hannibal lead a war against Rome at 19, and Augustus led a civil war against Rome at 19. Some of the founding fathers were as young as 18 when they signed the Declaration of Independence. Throughout history young men have done way, WAY crazier shit than starting billion dollar businesses. The sky is the limit MFers (actually it's not - ask Musk).

And your point about never letting the world beat the fire out of you is HUGE - probably the most important point on the podcast. Sadly, a lot of people let that happen to them. F*ck that noise. Never, ever get discouraged and never let loser thinking cloud your mind. There are ALWAYS new opportunities. The game doesn't end until you're dead (and for all we know it keeps going even then).

And if you're looking for huge opportunities, the US Department of Defense posts contracts opportunities on their website: SAM.gov | Home

also

coked up on thinking big
