Timestamps:

(1:30) - Just like in The Matrix, there are so many “women in the red dress” that are distractions & new opportunities. You have to learn how to say no to these the more you accelerate in your career, no matter how attractive they are

(3:55) - Success comes down to doing the obvious thing for an uncommonly long period of time without convincing yourself, you're smarter than you are.

(7:36) - You have to switch from new to better because the innovation already happened when you got the product market fit.

(10:46) - People allocate tons of attention, and tons of time to new strategies, new ideas, etc., rather than making the obvious truth. 

(14:31) - You don't need to have any fancy play to be successful. You just have to be willing to get consistent yardage. 

(16:30) - It is arrogant to believe that you are going to outcompete other people who are fully focused on one thing when you are split on five.
