Michael Ovitz built the most powerful agency in Hollywood by making history mandatory. He lived below Martin Scorsese, who screened films every night. Ovitz brought takeout and questions and absorbed knowledge about every director. Then he made his agents do the same thing. He required every CAA agent to watch every Academy Award winner—Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Writer—from the first ceremony forward. While competitors chased meetings, CAA agents showed up fluent in 80 years of cinema. That pattern recognition let them see what others couldn't: packages beat single clients. IP beats talent. Ownership beats commissions. Ovitz called it "past is prologue." "If you know history, you pretty much can predict the future." David Ogilvy called it a "teaching hospital." Same idea: Make excellence institutional, not personal.

Daniel Ek understands what most people miss: time is worthless without energy. You can have all the hours in the world. Doesn't matter. If you're depleted, distracted, exhausted—you're dead in the water. The great founders obsess over their energy levels the way athletes obsess over their training. They protect it. They optimize for it. They build their entire lives around it. From my conversation with @eldsjal. Available everywhere you get podcasts.

"Shopify loves the five-person team. We increase to eight sometimes, but we think the best team size is one, because a single author can do things that is impossible to do for teams, and hit high notes that are unreachable. Most projects worth doing need to be done in teams. There's a magic number at five. It's sort of what military ends up figuring out too. They test these things and come to the same conclusions. You can temporarily go up, but at some point, you have to split teams and parcel out the tasks. Each of these gradations is like a 10x loss of productivity. Our R&D team is three and a half thousand people. It's really lots and lots and lots of small teams." —Tobi Lütke, co-founder & CEO of @Shopify

“The death of my father had a profound effect on me that I didn’t realize at the time. If you lost a parent at that age, life can’t get much worse, so you’re prepared to take risks because you’ve started from a horrible starting point. Risk has become a thing I need to live with. I need to live on the knife’s edge all the time. I like living, for the moment, in danger. I saw a problem with a product that everybody uses every day. I thought, if I can solve that problem, other people would buy my product. I had no money. I was in debt. But I had an idea. At school they teach you that to be brilliant you have to get the answer right the first time. And there are brilliant people who can do that, but for the rest of us, who are not brilliant, to get there we have to strive. We have to go through failure. And you realize you won’t get it right the first time. You won’t get it right the second time. In my case it took 5,127 times. I went to various venture capitalists, the sort of people who ought to lend to startups, and the kind of response I got was: ‘We’re not lending to you because you’re an engineer. If you bring someone from the industry to run it, then we might consider backing you. Who is this guy setting up a business to make vacuum cleaners to compete with the big multinationals? What on Earth is he doing?’ When you think about it, it was completely mad.” It WAS completely mad. And it worked. 45 years later James Dyson is the sole shareholder of one of the most valuable private companies in the world. He makes the best product in every category he competes in. His first autobiography is still my favorite book and James was the person I most wanted to meet. He was witty, insightful and kind. An absolute gem of a human being and an inspiration to me. I hope you enjoy our conversation. This was one of the best days of my life.
