"Embracing Growth and Leadership Excellence"

Jan 16, 2024 - 9:01amSummary: I aspire to grow in various aspects of my life, especially in leadership, aligning with those who lead with integrity and prioritize human values over ego and profit. My growth ambitions also include refining my storytelling skills to effectively communicate my ideas and passions in a compelling way. I seek to surround myself with people who excel in their fields, as their superior skills will foster my own development, whether in leadership, programming, or other areas. As part of my learning journey, understanding the intricacies of running a startup or business, and having hands-on experience, is crucial to me.

Transcript: I am going to speak for a moment about how I wish to grow and a lot of this is coming from the conversations I may have had with Alex and Bailyn yesterday and I think there's a few ways in which that I wish to grow, probably quite a few. One is that, well, I want to move towards leadership, generally speaking, and that comes in all aspects of my life, so I want to be around people who are leading and are leading ideally with good values effectively, not leading for the purpose of making the most money or anything like that, but making something beautiful, something that really has people in mind, not ego, not serving ego. So that's one aspect is leadership and that is one of the ways I wish to grow because one day I want to be a leader as well. I don't wish to follow all of the time. I do wish to lead because I do think I have ideas of what that means, but beyond being a leader, I mean, I also wish to grow in my ability to tell story. That would be really, really nice, to be able to hone my own craft of being able to articulate my ideas and what I care about and making it clear and obvious to other people and making it compelling at the same time. I want to be in a place where I am surrounded by people who are better than me, and this is for the reason of growth and in all ways that that is possible, whether it be leadership or whether it be programming or anything. I want to be in a place where I can learn. I can learn a lot. That's something that's very important to me. I want to learn. Part of the learning is learning what does it take to run a startup or a business in general, being on the ground floor of what that means and actively participating in how to make that happen. I'm going to write now, but those are some of the thoughts in the raw.

I had a profound two-hour call with Jordan at 9 a.m., discussing a range of topics including the exciting potential of language models, which he called "word calculators." Jordan and I agreed on the importance of solidifying a good intention to create a compelling demo that deeply explores the vision of our project. We also touched on self-expression and the value of using the platform as a "playground" to honestly express oneself without worrying about the audience. Lastly, we delved into the dynamic nature of intentions and how they evolve over time, along with the idea that AI could support individuals by acting as an executive function override during moments of weakness.
