Airbnb founder Brian Chesky on how to design an amazing user experience
“How do you make something for a million people? I don’t know where to start. But if you pick one person, study them, and take their journey, you can actually build something really personal. You can design something and keep iterating until they love it. Don’t stop improving it until that person loves it, and you’re not allowed to move to the second person until the first person loves it. Then you get the second person and keep iterating until they love it. And so on.”
As Brian argues, designing the perfect experience for one person is a much easier place to start than trying to design something for a million people. You can figure out how to scale it later.
“If you can design something really amazing using the hand-crafted part of your brain, then you can reverse-engineer how to industrialize this millions of times over. And what happens is people love your product and they tell everyone else about your product.”
When people truly love your service, they become your marketing department. But counterintuitively, the biggest and best products seem to mostly get started by solving a very specific problem for a very specific user.

Marc Andreessen on hiring for drive:
"If a candidate has just followed the rules their whole lives, showed up for the right classes and the right tests and the right career opportunities without achieving something distinct and notable, relative to their starting point—then they probably aren’t driven.
And you’re not going to change them.
Motivating people who are fundamentally unmotivated is not easy.
But motivating people who are self-motivated is wind at your back."

Mark Zuckerberg on the best advice Peter Thiel ever gave him
“Peter was the person who told me this really pithy quote that, ‘In a world that’s changing so quickly, the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk.’ And I really think that that is true.”
Mark continues:
“Whenever you get yourself into a position where you have to make some big shift in direction or do something, there are always people who are going to point to the downside risks of that decision — and locally they may be right. For any given decision you make, there’s upside and downside. But in aggregate, if you are stagnant and you don’t make those changes, then I think you’re guaranteed to fail and not catch up. So to some degree, I think it’s really right that, over time, the biggest risk you can take is to not take any risks.”

10 quick things I learned this weekend that will make you smarter.
1) Many countries' stock markets are much more concentrated than the US markets. Did not know that!

Many talk about the high concentration of stock in the US stock market.
However, there are far more countries with stock markets that are even more concentrated than the US's.
Context matters, perspectives matter, and don’t look at something in isolation. https://t.co/VKIGAaTuXt - Eugene Ngtweet
