  2. “just drop in your email. This episode is brought to you by LegalZoom, which more than 2 million Americans have used to help start their businesses. Past guests even, such as WordPress lead developer, CEO of Automatic Matt Molenweg now valued it more than a billion dollars, have used LegalZoom to help with their business needs, specifically in his case, to form his company. But LegalZoom isn't just for launching your business. Their services include everything from helping you to manage changing tax laws, reviewing contracts, creating NDAs, non-disclosure agreements, important stuff, handling lease agreements, and assisting with really any other legal challenge hurdle inconvenience that typically takes time and effort away from running your business. The best part is that you won't get charged by the hour because LegalZoom isn't a law firm, so they won't be running the clock up and spinning circles just to raise your bill. Instead, they just ask you to pay one low upfront price for whatever.”

It could include gizmos and gadgets and all sorts of weird shit that I've somehow dug up in the world of the esoteric as I do. It could include favorite articles that I've read and that I've shared with my close friends, for instance. And it's very short. It's just a little tiny bite of goodness before you head off for the weekend. So if you want to receive that, check it out. Just go to fourhourworkweek.com.

  4. “The founding of Bletchley Park and the creation of the modern computer science and cryptography, or the harnessing of the atom at the Manhattan Project. These are examples that we're all sort of well schooled in. And I like the phrase moonshot thinking because it points us at one of the few examples, this is JFK's speech at Rice University, and then the Apollo 11 mission after that that actually put someone on the moon to remind us it doesn't have to be about war, that you can create that same kind of exigency without war. Why do we have to wait for a war? To say to a group of people, you can do it. You can go 10 times bigger. You can change the world that much. A huge change, not an incremental change. I expect that from you, and I don't want you, metaphorically and literally, to choose choice.”

  5. “They don't need a lecture from me in how to be innovative. They need to change their context, or maybe their boss can become smart just before they quit en masse, and change the context for them. Context matters so much. The expectations matter so much. The people matter, the resources matter, but that's not the biggest issue. There have been these times in the world, and sadly they've been mostly military in nature. You get a huge number of really smart people together, not five or ten, but 100 or more. And you give them the resources, but much more importantly, the expectation that they will produce miracles.”

I mean, I'm not even testing you guys. I'm sure you can all do the math in your head. The expected utility is 10 times as high for choice B as for choice A. Universally, these people are listening to me because they think that I'm going to give them the special sauce about how to make innovation. And I say you already know the answer Now, here's the tricky Does your boss want you to pick choice A? Raise your hand if you think that your boss would let you pick choice B. Not a single hand in the room goes up.”

Choice A, you can give a million dollars bottom line to your company through your efforts this year, guaranteed, 100%. That's choice A.
