单集简介 ...

Chris Sacca is the co-founder of Lowercarbon Capital and manages a portfolio of countless startups in energy, industrial materials, and carbon removal. If it's unf**king the planet, he's probably working on it. Previously, Chris founded Lowercase Capital, one of history's most successful funds ever, primarily known for its very early investments in companies like Twitter, Uber, Instagram, Twilio, Docker, Optimizely, Blue Bottle Coffee, and Stripe. But you might just know him as the guy who wore those ridiculous cowboy shirts for a few seasons of Shark Tank. To purchase Chris's ranch, schedule a viewing at FivePondsRanch.com. P.S. This episode features a special, one-of-a-kind introduction that Chris recorded of yours truly. :) Sponsors: MUDWTR energy-boosting coffee alternative—without the jitters: https://MUDWTR.com/Tim (between 15% and 43% off) Helix Sleep premium mattresses: https://HelixSleep.com/Tim (Between 20% and 27% off all mattress orders and two free pillows) AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement: https://DrinkAG1.com/Tim (1-year supply of Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first subscription purchase.) * For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.

  • Coming up in this episode and I.

  • Need to memorialize these things for the benefit of humanity before we're all obviated.

  • These kids who have these incredible GPAs and this test taking, I think it might be useless.

  • I think they might have optimized for useless skills.

  • And I think the only thing that might keep us going is that randomness, that unpredictability, those flaws, those fuck ups, the things that make us banged up.

  • The things where we make bad decisions, where we're self indulgent.

  • I've had to teach our team the number one thing you can be in this business is unpredictable.

  • Feed into the fact I am known as mercurial.

  • I burn bridges.

  • I will not hesitate to fucking fight you.

  • I wear the stupid shirts I don't give a shit about much.

  • I've been known to just light it on fire.

  • And guess what?

  • People take me seriously as a result, I haven't backed down from all those fucking character flaws I have that are very self destructive.

  • But I am all gas, no fucking brakes.

  • As you know.

  • Although in our line we call it no gas, no brakes.

  • But we need to cultivate more of that if we have any hope as a fucking species.

  • We just need to.

  • I'm sorry.
