Naval says 'Play long-term games with long-term people,' and for me, that’s the great work in action. But sometimes, the best leverage isn’t productizing yourself—it’s staying in stealth mode first. Here’s what I learned from The Navalmanack—and from my own path. (Thread) 👇 👇 👇

🌹 Rose – 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. That’s 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 can’t unsee it. 👇 👇 👇

🌵 Thorn – 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: 1️⃣ Not scalable. Both consulting and content were still tied to my time. 2️⃣ I didn’t want visibility. I enjoyed communicating, but I wanted to be invisible. I was working with astrology—not in the cheap, entertainment way, but as a cultural and symbolic system. But people just wanted fast, digestible content. That’s 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 isn’t turning yourself into a brand—it’s staying in stealth mode, letting the asset grow, and striking at the right time. Lathe biosas. 👇 👇 👇

🌱 Bud – Network School & Permissionless Leverage Fast forward to now: I’m at Network School, and I feel like I’m exactly where I should be. Naval says "Play long-term games with long-term people"—and this is exactly that. More than that, it’s a space where self-improvement and self-sovereignty aren’t just buzzwords, they’re part of the daily OS. First week here, I just wanted better food (I’m Italian, you know..). Then I found myself leveraging without permission, setting up a small Italian groceries & food experience business (launching soon 👀). Sometimes the best leverage isn’t waiting for the perfect opportunity—it’s solving your own problems first. 👇 👇 👇

🔮 Closing – Final Takeaway Wealth isn’t just about assets. It’s about playing the right game, at the right time, with the right people. And sometimes, the best way to play long-term games is to stay in stealth mode until the game plays itself in your favor. Fin.

Stay with smarter people who think long-term. So personally for me it is staying at NS.
