Danny Miranda, Metakovan, Cryptopunks #7804, and the habits of the richest people

Hi Friends.

In this edition, I want to talk about:

• Brain Food

• The surprising habits of my richest friends + How to find the richest people

• The worldview of Danny Miranda: Lessons and Habits from the man who's grown his podcast from 0 to 55k downloads in 6 months

Brain Food

Metakovan has got me hooked on how the greatest cities in the world were founded and evolved over the years. Found this series on Youtube. He’d recommended it in one of his interviews. It’s much more fascinating than I thought. If you don’t know him, he’s the buyer of Beeple’s Everydays NFT ($69 Million)

I came across this video while researching Blake Emal ( Interviewing him tomorrow ). But frankly, it’s one of the best things I’ve watched on Youtube recently. Austin Calvert is the guy who makes these awesome videos.

Shaan Puri shared this thread to his email list last week. I thought this was worth resharing. A reminder that decentralization is a mission so much more important than the crypto price in the market.

So total cryptocoin market cap just hit $0.5T today. But have we *earned* it?

Peruggia bought Cryptopunk #7804 from Dylan Field, the founder of Figma for $7.5 Million. In this thread, he explains why.

1) How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Punks: If this comes across your timeline you likely believe that in the future the world will grow more digitized and decentralized. If not I doubt a guy who values MS Paints at over $13,000 per pixel will convince you otherwise.

The surprising habits of my richest friends + How to find the richest people

This is from Noah Kagan’s interview at the Tropical MBA podcast which I’ve linked in the thread. Coincidentally, I was listening to @MetaKovan the next day and he doesn’t own a home or a car either.

The surprising habits of my richest friends. Not mine 😜 .@noahkagan's • Rent vs Own • STFU • Do 1 thing • Invest to stay rich not get rich • They play long term games • Don't sell courses • Get Lucky • Give less proportionately • Do boring stuff •.Go all in

My First Million Podcast keeps getting better. It seems that everybody at The Hustle has a secret sauce to Google search. The insights everyone comes up with are mind-boggling to me.

The worldview of Danny Miranda: Lessons and Habits from the man who's grown his podcast from 0 to 55k downloads in 6 months

Danny Miranda is an inspiration and the host of the Danny Miranda podcast. He's gone from 0 to 55,000 downloads in the past 6 months, published 87 awesome conversations, and has shared countless stories of his hustle on Twitter. This conversation goes beyond what Danny has done with his podcast and captures his overall personality, his habits, and his worldview. He's done a lot in 6 months, but I cannot imagine the places he'll go in 6 years and beyond. Hope you can learn from him as much as I did. 

The podcast is also available on Apple podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, and all major podcasting platforms. Show notes available in description wherever you’re listening, Please 5 stars on Apple Podcast. It helps me reach more listeners :)
