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.

Steve Jobs had soul in the game. My new conversation with Jimmy Iovine is full of Steve Jobs’ stories I’ve never heard anywhere else (and I’ve made 15 episodes about Steve for Founders!). Watch the full conversation. It’s incredible.

How Elon Musk thinks about money:

“Elon would always be at work on Sunday, and we had some chats where he laid out his philosophy. 

He would say that everything we did was a function of our burn rate and that we were burning through a hundred thousand dollars per day. 

It was this very entrepreneurial, Silicon Valley way of thinking that none of the aerospace engineers in Los Angeles were dialed into. 

Sometimes he wouldn’t let you buy a part for two thousand dollars because he expected you to find it cheaper or invent something cheaper. 

Other times, he wouldn’t flinch at renting a plane for ninety thousand dollars to get something to Kwaj because it saved an entire workday, so it was worth it. 

—
This is my favorite part and the main point:
—

He would place this urgency that he expected the revenue in ten years to be ten million dollars a day and that every day we were slower to achieve our goals was a day of missing out on that money.”

If you put David Goggins, Richard Feynman and Napoleon together you get Elon Musk

"He's David Goggins' level intensity, he's Richard Feynman's level of unconventional technical brilliance, and he's Napoleon's strategic genius and insane bias to action.

Those three traits combined make him just incredibly singular.

Even if you put in this amount of time trying to know your business from A to Z, without that deep technical intuition or sense of the fundamentals of the physics and the materials, you couldn't make the calls that he's making.

The founder is the guardian of the company's soul."

Marc Andreessen on @zuck 

“When Mark started Facebook he had never had a job before. Not only had he not managed people, he had not worked for anybody. 

So he started with zero and his learning curve —which by the way happened fully in the public eye —his learning curve was vertical. 

And by the way, it’s still vertical. He spends an enormous amount of time learning how to become better at running these things at large scale. 

He’s still the founder and he’s still the innovator, and he’s still a fountain of ideas on what to do. 

He’s the classic example of the double threat. 

And then what happens is other founders look at that and they’re like: Oh, I could do that too.”

How Elon Musk fixed Starlink: 

“Starlink was a mess. It was 10X too expensive and they were building 1/10 of how many they needed. 

Elon’s like I’ve had it. This is now the bottleneck. I’m fixing this.

He grabs a team of engineers that he trusts and they fly up to Seattle. 

They fire the entire Starlink leadership team. 

They sit down in a war room and they start running the algorithm. 

- What is the first principles of satellite design? 

- How simple can we make this thing? 

- Why does this exist? 

- Why are these two things so far apart? 

- Why do we need this much energy? 

- Why do we need this manufacturing process? 

And over the course of a few months they make a two order of magnitude leap. 

These people had never encountered this design before, but just by applying the algorithm and working with maniacal urgency towards this extremely high design bar, they created this product that’s now — if it was a standalone business — would be worth tens of billions of dollars [or more].”

“Peter Thiel says, you have to be contrarian but right to be an entrepreneur.

So, you have to be comfortable looking stupid for a long time.

When I was calling those banks and saying, “Hey, we’re a crypto company. We want to do this,” they would hang up on me.

Or I’d go pitch the 30th venture investor and get a no.

Or the thousandth employee we tried to hire or whatever.

We’re willing to be misunderstood for a long time.

And then you slowly start to have these breakthroughs.

If you look at Uber, they were fighting for a decade to just be like, yeah, it’s actually better and safer than a cab — and the entrenched interests were fighting them.

Or Airbnb with the hotels.

Self-driving cars.

Everything that’s truly innovative and breakthrough is going to upset an entrenched incumbent, eventually intersect with the government, and just piss off some segment of the population who are like... 

“How dare you question the status quo.”

Everything is difficult. If you’re going to do something important it’s going to take you a decade or more to have an impact. You might as well pick something you care about. 

Pick the really big thing. 

It’s always bothered me when I talked to entrepreneurs and they tell me about the thing they are working on and I ask: What do you really want to do? 

And they say well the big thing I want to do is this. But in their mind it’s a little too ambitious, it’s a little too difficult, they need more capital….

You should just go for that now. You might as well work on the thing that will have a major impact if it works now.

"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."

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.
