What these subjects mean

ambition How much to take on and how hard to push: superlinear returns to effort, focus, slack time, and procrastination.

investing Putting money into markets on purpose: what a portfolio is for, whether active management earns its cost, and what money is actually a means to.

What Mark Pincus actually said

  1. Mark Pincus Founder and former CEO of Zynga
    know your goal or suffer a death by a thousand compromises. Because what I had done my whole career and most of us do is compromise to get that next engineer, CTO, investor. You put a jerk on your board because you impressed with their firm name and the valuation and all your friends are going to be impressed and it's going to be so much easier. We make all these compromises and contort ourselves and eventually we wake up and it's company we don't want to work at.
