I was thinking about this last night, and boom KZbin recommends it to me when I wake up. Roelof is a chill, very polite guy and I've been wondering how he's thought about his career. Not that I want to emulate his career, just pure curiosity. He's made his moves without making too much noise. I interacted with him more than a decade ago, and he strikes me as a quality guy. I actually think he epitomizes Sequoia.

I tried to get into a top MBA like Stanford and wasted my life for 3 years. Then I tried entrepreneurship and enrolled in the CS program. I'm 29 and down with student debt. You guys are inspiring. Let me know if you're working on something interesting. I'm happy to help anything around AI, financial modeling and product management

While watching your podcast, I sometimes pretend like you’re asking me the questions that you are asking your guests.. like.. I give myself time to think about it.. like what is my morning routine? How do I wind down? What do I listen to? and so on.. So, for me, I think watching your podcasts is a great way to understand myself better.

Thank you for this video/podcast! I really enjoyed it! I'm not a business graduate, and I own and operate a business in dentistry. The question of what is enough is a tough one. At GSB you're surrounded by huge numbers in the millions and billions, so it's easy to get engulfed by that. For me, it's enough for me to do better than I did yesterday. Treat people well, do good work, make a difference for others, and compensated for doing the work I enjoy, that's enough for me. My ultimate goal is to live each day in a way that if people that know me were ever asked about me, they would hopefully say nice things. I believe in karma, when you do good things, the universe will return the favour, but I can't prove it. Good luck in everything you do, Cherie!

His inputs 1) Think of how to maximise your value in 30 years down the line, not 1/2/3 years only. That way of thinking will make you take different choices. In this case it meant working for paypal instead of McK or GS and taking 3 paycuts instead of 3 pay rises, with the eventual option of going much higher later. 2) If you could put something on a billboard, what would you put on it and where? 3) If you could do a job and not be paid for it what would you do? 4) 10 years down the line, what would you be proud to have done now?

I'm a new viewer. I would have enjoyed it if we had gone straight into Roelof. Didn't it really make sense to ask the interviewer questions? I came to watch Roelof and hear from him. I can see people clicking off the first 10 minutes for that reason. Weird format, but whatever works IG?
