  1. “Such a beautiful way to see a shitty feeling. So if you feel shitty about the current situation I mean, it almost is always true. The cliche thing of if it doesn't kill you, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It does seem that over time, when you take a perspective on things that, uh, The hardest moments and periods of your life are the most meaningful. Yeah, yeah. So over time, you get to have that perspective. What about because you mentioned Kuwait? What about, let me ask you about What's the role of war and peace? Maybe even the big love and hate in that part of the world, because it does seem to be a part of the world where there's turmoil. There was turmoil, there's still turmoil.”

  5. “It's like me wearing a suit. People are like, Why are you wearing a suit? It's a step back into some kind of tradition, a respect for tradition of sorts. So you said because it's by choice, you're kind of free to make that choice. Celebrated tradition of modesty.”

  8. “Hard to think that way when you're six. In the book you write, I am who I am because I was raised by a particular set of parents, both modern and conservative, forward thinking and yet locked in tradition. I'm a Muslim, and I feel I am stronger, more centered for it. I adhere to the values of my religion even if I'm not as dutiful as I once was, and I am a new American and am thriving on the energy vitality and entrepreneurial spirit of this great country. So let me ask you about your parents. What have you learned about life from them, especially when you were young?”

It's a Christmas tree. But like, it's power. Eventually, I guess you couldn't at the time, but eventually this thing, if it's interesting enough, if it's a pretty enough Christmas tree, it can be run by millions of people and bring them joy, like that little thing. And then because it's digital, it's easy to spread. So like you just created something that's easily spreadable to millions of people.”

  11. “Hard is it to make? No, I don't know. I think to make it well, like anything. Like Italians, they say, well, tomato sauce is easy to make, but didn't make it right. That's like a generational skill. So, anyway, is there something like that in Egypt? Is there a culture of food?”

  12. “If you know what it is, I think you know it's delicious. But if I explain it, it's just not going to sound delicious. I feel like beet soup. This doesn't make any sense. But that's kind of, and you probably have actually seen pictures of it because it's one of the traditional foods in Ukraine, in Russia, in different parts of the Slavic world. So, but it's become so cliche and stereotypical that you almost don't mention it, but it's still delicious. Like I visited Ukraine, I eat that every single day.”

  15. “Once you turn it on, it's super fast, which is probably the main thing you want from a VPN. What else can I say?

  16. “Get special savings for a limited time when you go to insighttracker.com lex. And finally, this show is also brought to you by one of my favorite sponsors, ExpressVPN. They've been with me all along. I mean, not just the sponsors as a tool It's the VPN I've used for so many years. And the look has changed a little bit, but the simplicity and the elegance, the obvious nature of a big button that turns the thing on hasn't changed. You set the location. You have a button, you press, you turn it on. It works. It works wonderfully. You know, what do you want from a VPN? It's an incredibly useful and important service. And ExpressVPN does it better than anybody else I've tried”

  17. “Every aspect of your company. So if you're either an individual or a startup or both, I guess, you can get started for free at notion.com. This show is also brought to you by Inside Tracker, a service I use to track biological data. They have a bunch of plans, a lot of them include blood tests that give you a bunch of information about your body and help you make decisions about your health. They use machine learning algorithms to take all that data as input and to make predictions in terms of positive diet and lifestyle changes you should make. It's obvious to me that those kinds of predictions should come from your personalized data. So to me, inside tracker, all of the effort they're putting into this, the way they're making this happen are just paving the way to an obvious future, which is going to be more and more effective lifestyle change prediction recommendation and also medicine broadly. This is the future. If it's done right, it's a great future.”

  18. “When you sign up at lexfriedman dot com. Show is also brought to you by Notion, a note taking and team collaboration tool. They combine note taking document sharing wikis project management and much, much, much more when you go to all kinds of places like Stack Exchange looking for advice about productivity, note taking, all the cool kids, the cutting edge you're always going to recommend notion. Notion is just the go-to tool. In terms of the feature set, but also how intuitive is to use that feature set, the interface itself is accessible like the learning curve is pretty, what is it. You can learn it really quickly. That's not a steep learning curve. That's like a shallow learning curve, I guess. Anyway, it's easy to learn, but the more you learn, the more powerful the tool becomes. Now that's for the individual. The thing they're really trying to sell you on is this is not just for the individual. It's also for companies, for startups. As they say, the full-on operating system for running.”

  19. “This show is brought to you by weights and biases, the company helping machine learning teams build better models faster. It really is one of my favorite companies, not just for the fact that they are doing machine learning or helping teams and individuals do machine learning, but that they're helping just the entire community, the spirit of the machine learning community. They're helping on all fronts. On the research front, on the individual developer front, on the small company, medium-sized company, large company front, on the educational front, the whole thing. They support, like I said, the machine learning research community. Their tools are free for personal use and their team's features available for free to academic researchers. Companies like OpenAI, NVIDIA, iRobot, and more use weights and biases tools every day to build their models. Join over two hundred thousand machine learning engineers and data scientists.”

  20. “That sounds weird out of context. I'm packing a suitcase full of clothes, and I packed a bunch of Mizzen and main shirts because I'm going to Vegas and also I'm actually not sure where I'm going after that. Probably back to Boston, traveling a bit. And that's the thing I can really count on. So there's always going to be a bunch of black t-shirts. That's like the super comfortable thing. The extra step off from that is the Miz and a Maine black dress shirts. And then, of course, there is the suit and tie. So I have all of that. But my sort of balance between suit and tie and a t-shirt is a missing dress shirt super classy comfortable. I just love it. Right now you can get a special discount. Just go to Mizinamaine.com and use promo code lex.”

  22. “Now, a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast. We got Mizid and Maine for style, weights and biases for machine learning, notion for collaboration, inside tracker for biomonitoring, and express VPN for privacy. Choose wisely, my friends. And now on to the full ad reads. As always, no ads in the middle, I hate those. As a fan of podcasts, I hate those, so as long as I have control of a thing, I'm not going to do them. But these ads I do now, I try to make them interesting, but if you must skip”
