The 5 levels of charisma:
L1: Talks a lot
L2: Makes you laugh
L3: Makes you feel seen
L4: Demands nothing of you
L5: Leaves you feeling more like yourself
Most "charismatic" people stop at L2

The basic truth is that no one cares about you as a person or your potential. Even you, reading this, don’t care about someone who just has ideas. People care about those who have actually built something and achieved something. The only way to connect with interesting people is to become interesting yourself by building.

I find it funny when people complain about “difficult people”. I feel like my whole life has been focused on how to work best with “difficult people”. It’s my professional moat. In my experience, all truly capable people are difficult in some way. Deal with it!

Astronaut Scott Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit aboard the International Space Station. He didn't tell anyone about it. One day, without anyone knowing, he put it on.

My take on the Jonah Hill stuff. I used to be an air hostess. Those girls I worked with were hot, glamorous, fun-loving. Guys LOVED dating air hostesses, would boast to their friends about their exciting girlfriends. But there was a pattern I saw a lot. 🧵

The most effective networking strategy I’ve found has nothing to do with conferences, cocktail hours, cold emails, or any of the common ideas you hear.
1) Do interesting things.
2) Share them publicly.
Like-minded people will come to you.

In the past year, I’ve talked to many bright, curious, ambitious people who believed they couldn’t do research. That was me, not long ago.
Here I share my improved understanding in hopes of offering a more empowering model of what research entails:
