today is one of the most memorable days in my life
I’m grateful for having this amazing opportunity
Thanks for @the_agi_company !!
We hosted an EO Watch Party with AGI Inc @the_agi_company, an AI startup building computer action agents that run on edge devices. The idea is simple: watch an EO video together, then talk about startups and the story on screen, the way film preview screenings work. More than 150 people joined, and I made so many new friends, from VCs and founders to researchers and even lobbyists.
I’m so proud of my team. Watching people laugh and talk about our video was incredibly rewarding, and we got a lot of great feedback. It was the best chance we’ve had to meet the people who actually subscribe to and love EO. People loved ODDS, our new early stage documentary series, too.

Day 14 of reading a @paulg essay every single day (14/235)
Today, I read "Beyond Smart".
I chose to read this because I edited @the_agi_company video today.
Co-founders of AGI Inc are smart.
> @divgarg dropped out of his Stanford PhD and turned down a million-dollar offer from @OpenAI to build AGI Inc.
> steve and naman are just smart. you'll understand what I mean if you watch the video dropping on Sunday
But as PG said, "There are a lot of genuinely smart people who don't achieve very much."
He says that bringing new ideas makes smart people achieve great things.
Then what makes a new idea? pg says: 'an obsessive interest in a particular topic'
After reading this, I thought about what I'm obsessed with.
I try my best every single second.
But I realized that I'm not 'obsessed' with something.
I was vaguely targeting 'making the best video', but I haven't set a clear goal.
Nowadays, I'm listening @FoundersPodcast from @davidsenra every single day. It's because I can learn from the greatest entrepreneurs in human history.
The common trait is that they were all obsessed with one thing. Today I listened to an episode about George Lukas, a filmmaker who made Star Wars.
He was literally obsessed with his idea for a movie, which was Star Wars, so he made an entirely new business to develop a video techinque which had never existed before.
When was the last time I was obsesses with something? it was a year ago.
Trying my best and an obsessive interest are different.
I'll think about what I'll be obsessed with. (is this even a right approach? I'll figure it out)
The one thing that came up to my mind was cinematography.
Day 13 of reading a @paulg essay every single day (13/235)
Today, I read "The Right Kind of Stubborn" and "Haters".
I read two today because I was not able to make time to read yesterday.
The reason I chose these essays is that the titles caught my eyes after filming a documentary all day today about @boardyai.
The first word that came to my mind right after interviewing @andrewdsouza was 'A good listener'.
I was able to see this from the morning standup.
Many ideas popped up during the meeting, and Andrew listened carefully to all of them.
Andrew asked a few questions. It seems like a refutation at the beginning, but it turned out to be a fair dispute.
In his essay, PG said: "I can't think of anyone more determined than the Collison brothers (from @stripe), and when you point out a problem to them, they not only listen, but listen with an almost predatory intensity."
I saw this in Andrew today. He was one of the best listeners I've ever seen.
When I visit a startup for an interview, I can tell what the employees think of the founder by their attitude.
This is a common pattern in unicorn startups — they treat their founder like "Boss". They take care of small details like water, straws, etc. Their employees try their best to make every moment perfect for their boss.
Shame on me, but before the filming, I thought @boardyai might have a similar atmosphere because @andrewdsouza built a multi-billion dollar company before starting Boardy. (There were 300+ people working in there)
I spent all day today in @hf0 with @boardyai , but I was not able to see any moment like that. Boardy people do not hesitate to bring new ideas in front of everyone including Andrew. To be honest, it was like looking at university students who're preparing the final project. (but with way more talented people)
There's a famous proverb in Korea. "Rice plants tend to bow their heads as they grow ripe." It's very simple. But that does not mean it's easy.

Day 11 of reading a @paulg essay every single day (11/235)
Today, I read "How to Get New Ideas" and "What you (Want to)* Want". (two essays!)
I'm reading short essays on purpose, because I'm still not used to doing this. I still need intentional effort to read this every single day.
After I'm used to this, I'll challenge to read longer essays (which is a little bit overwhelming because some of pg's essays are really long)
idk how this will affect me, but I'm getting better than I was yesterday, every single day.
Day 10 of reading @paulg essay every single day (10/235)
I skipped reading essays two days in a row (shame on me), so I read three today.
The most fascinating part was about 'Ramen Profitability' from "The Airbnbs".
@bchesky 's goal was this when they started Airbnb.
Ramen profitability means, literally, that startup is profitable enough for its founders to live on their own. eating ramen.
These days, I like my job, but at the same time, I'm not sure I'm doing my best.
What I have achieved is too small comparing to what I achieved so far.
So, I listened to a podcast about Walt Disney while I ran today. The only advantage he believed in was excellence.
I need to have a high bar for excellence.
And another thing is self-belif.
Walt had crazy level of self-belief when he had nothing except for a borrowed suit and himself.
I am clearly getting better than I was yesterday. Let's aim for the right target and focus on the practice.
how is this even possible
We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.
Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both
Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.
It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.

"I try to write using ordinary words and simple sentences."
Day 8 of reading @paulg essay every single day (8/235)
One of the famous misconceptions about writing is "fancy writing".
In the essay, PG says that you must write simply.
"When you write in a fancy way to impress people, you're making them do extra work just so you can seem cool."
I used to make a same mistake when I ran a blog years ago. I wrote long sentences with fancy words, but it was subconsciously trying to hide that I had no original ideas.
But simplicity is the best level of intelligence.
If you know what the most important point is, you can remove unnecessary things.
As @davidsenra said, the one thing great founders have in common is focus.
They know what is important, so they remove noise from their lives: Unnecessary meetings, relationships, and work.
And they only focus on the one thing.
This is exactly same with what PG said in his essay.
Did you I focus on your one thing today?
Day 7 of reading PG essay every single day (7/235)
Today, I read "The Need to Read". I chose it because I saw pg's twit about reading. (it's down below)
it's already been a week since i started this challenge.
one of the reasons i started this challenge is because i haven't read for a while and somehow my subconscious told me it's not right. (i feel guilty when i do not read consistently)
if my day is fully packed with filming, like today, it's really hard to keep a routine. For example, I skipped my workout today. I did it intentionally to meet my responsibilities.
But for this routine, it decided it to keep non-negotiable. no matter what happens, i'll finish this challenge successfully. becaue it's so important for me. I lack of English, knowledges about startups, and this is the best way to solve two problem at once.
Day 6 of reading PG essay every single day (6/235)
Today, I read "When To Do What You Love".
in the essay, pg says: "There are even some people who have a genuine intellectual interest in making money."
Most of the founders I have interviewed so far said the same thing. They started their own business when they were around 8, and now they're founders of multi-million (or even multi-billion) dollar companies.
After finishing reading this essay, I asked myself: "Am I doing what I love?" The answer came to me immediately. I'm doing what I love 100%.
I love to learn from the best people, and apply it to my life. From that perspective, I'm in the perfect situation.
I feel so lucky every morning. It's because I not only have the opportunity to be in SF, but also:
1. I'm doing what I love (filmmaking)
2. I'm learning from the best (startup founders)
People who're in SF to build their own business are definitely out of the ordinary. And talking with them always excite me because they're kind of people I've never met in my entire life.
The more time i spend reading, the better my English writing becomes.
the media business is very tough, because it has to satisfy two different people:
1. audience
2. customer
It would be best if the two groups are same, but for most content company, they're seperate groups.
I'm still learning how to satisfy audience, by trying my best to tell the best story of startups. The formula is simple: the more effort I put in, the better the outcome.
But the latter is harder. If I focus too much on only satisfying the audience, it will very likely lead to a disappointed customer. what they want to show & what people what to see are very differnt in most cases.
but today, i heard an amazing sentence from a customer. my customer literally said: "Out C-suit is over the moon after watching your video." That's the best compliment I've ever heard from a customer.
But the thing is, the video was the result of trying to make the best video for the audience, not the customer. I haven't published that video eyt, so I still need to see how it performs, but I passed the first test.
my effort seems to be working
