Famous 5

  • Favorite Book?- The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Tufte
  • What CEO do you follow?— Elon Musk
  • What is your favorite online tool?— Google’s Ngram viewer
  • Do you get 8 hours of sleep?— No
  • If you could let your 20 year old self know one thing, what would it be?— You’re always going to be able to make it work. Don’t be afraid to take risks. Ask yourself ‘what’s the worst that could happen?’

3 Key Points:

  1. Being involved in extraneous legal matters will really bog down a business.
  2. It can be a dilemma deciding between going to work for a well-established business or a startup straight out of school.
  3. Making ends meet can be an eclectic task because there are a variety of ways to make money here and there.

Resources Mentioned:

  • Edgar – Nathan uses Edgar instead of other scheduling tools for Twitter because Edgar cycles through content over and over (buffer/others you have to re-input content over and over – time consuming). In the last several months, Edgar has driven Nathan over 3728 clicks that he didn’t have to work or pay for.
  • LinkedIn – Jules’s LinkedIn
  • Windsor Circle – Jules’s current business
  • CellBreaker – Jules’s previous business
  • The Visual Display of Quantitative Information – Jules’s favorite business book
  • Elon Musk – CEO Jules follows
  • Google’s Ngram viewer – Jules’s favorite online tool
