š¹ Rose ā Equity & Long-Term Thinking Reading The Navalmanack made me rethink how wealth really works. I learned the value of equity working in a tech startup environment, and that completely changed the way I look at work. Thatās why I left my role as Head of Recruitment to co-found a startup. More equity, more leverage, a better network of investors who play this game daily. Once you see it, you canāt unsee it. š š š

šµ Thorn ā The Limits of Productizing Yourself During the pandemic, I explored how to productize myself around niche skills and passions. I went deep into 1:1 consulting and content creation, studying how YouTubers were monetizing and migrating to Twitch for better revenue models. Looked great on paper. I stopped for two reasons: 1ļøā£ Not scalable. Both consulting and content were still tied to my time. 2ļøā£ I didnāt want visibility. I enjoyed communicating, but I wanted to be invisible. I was working with astrologyānot in the cheap, entertainment way, but as a cultural and symbolic system. But people just wanted fast, digestible content. Thatās where I disagreed with Naval: not everything should be productized. Some things need time to mature without corrupting their essence. So yeah, sometimes the best leverage isnāt turning yourself into a brandāitās staying in stealth mode, letting the asset grow, and striking at the right time. Lathe biosas. š š š

š± Bud ā Network School & Permissionless Leverage Fast forward to now: Iām at Network School, and I feel like Iām exactly where I should be. Naval says "Play long-term games with long-term people"āand this is exactly that. More than that, itās a space where self-improvement and self-sovereignty arenāt just buzzwords, theyāre part of the daily OS. First week here, I just wanted better food (Iām Italian, you know..). Then I found myself leveraging without permission, setting up a small Italian groceries & food experience business (launching soon š). Sometimes the best leverage isnāt waiting for the perfect opportunityāitās solving your own problems first. š š š
