Below, I share content I consumed and learned from last week. I spent time doing general learning about a variety of topics.

What I consumed last week and what I learned from it:

• Druski: his decade of failure and greatness – YouTube interview with comedian Druski. Great interview about the work ethic and drive of one of the new generation of social media–first comedians. Making people laugh and developing the ability to read rooms quickly are coping mechanisms for dealing with trauma he experienced at the hands of his father. It’s interesting that he lived through multiple years of failure and dropped out of college to figure out what he wanted to do in life. His drive to be great and take the no-plan-B approach reminds me of the burn-the-ships mentality I’ve read about in biographies of great founders. Even though he’s focused on making people laugh, at heart he’s an entrepreneur with a strong work ethic who’s never content.

That’s what I learned from what I consumed last week.
