Andy Bailey + 10,000 hours with Reid Hoffman + The Infinite Thread of Wisdom

Hi Friends - Happy Sunday.

This week I’m taking lessons from Dickie Bush to make this issue better :) Let me know what you think

• First up, my favorite resources from the thing called the internet ;)

  The infinite thread of wisdom 📖🎙️🎥 Starting today I'll keep adding timeless resources to this thread. Great resources transcend time. They were true in 1900s, they're true now, they'll be true when @elonmusk takes us to Mars. 🚀 Retweets are welcome :) THREAD 👇

• Second, Ben Casnocha was the chief of staff of Reid Hoffman for 2 years. He wrote 10,000 hours with Reid Hoffman which is a must-read :)

• And finally, the interview - Andy Bailey is the founder of NationLink Wireless (sold) and Petra Coach. As a kid, he'd climb trees, pull mistletoes and go door to door selling them. He'd sold candy bars, oil lamps, books, cut grass, and worked at a factory, all before graduating from school. In college, he started a landscaping business and a car phone installation business. While still in college, he started NationLink Wireless, which he grew into one of the top 200 fastest-growing privately-owned companies in the country.  

Since selling NationLink, Andy has pursued his calling of helping other entrepreneurs scale their business. We talk about how Andy went $1.5 million in debt and clawed his way back, the stories behind the businesses he's started, helping founders find their purpose, climbing mountains, running a half marathon, writing a journal, and much more.
