David Perell

there was a folly- ... five minute walk ... a Chinese pagoda, and an aviary.

The folly, which is known as Strancalye Tower, was built in 1826- We're having David Perell on the show later- ... and can still be seen on the riverbank ... to talk about architectural revival.

It's a mock medieval structure- Look at this ... and it served as a fishing lodge.

This is awesome.

Sorry for the mix-up.

Hey, guys.

We got caught up with David Perell.

He brought whole show and tell for us.

But I, I wholeheartedly agree with your advice.

And by the way, our friend David Perell, friend, friend of the pod, David Perell s- has a great phrase on this, that he calls it having a personal monopoly.

And a personal monopoly is when you are, you are known for something.

You're known.

I didn't mean for this story to be a matter of hardcore or not, more so a matter of there's money everywhere.

Can I give you an anecdote that like supports what you're saying about the, the other side of the, the coin here? David Perell, friend of the pod, had Kevin Kelly on the podcast, and Kevin Kelly is this guy who I, I really like and admire.

He st- had a really eclectic career.

He like started Wired magazine, and he wrote A Thousand True Fans, which really shaped kind of my thinking on-

But, but that's true with, with writing.

I mean, you said you watched that thing that I had, um, did with David Perell on writing.

Like, even with writing I'll start with, whenever I write I start with the headline, the subheadline, and the first sentence in mind.

Definitely.

I went down this rabbit hole because I kept hearing stories that didn't make sense.

Like this guy, David Perell, who built a two million dollar writing business from scratch, or people coming out of six-month coding boot camps and landing eighty K tech jobs.

And I'm thinking, "Wait, if this is possible, why isn't everyone doing it?" Well, it turns out there's a specific reason, and once you understand it, everything, uh, changes.

So today, we're going to break down the exact skills that pay the most, the fastest way to develop them, and the step-by-step process to go from zero to getting paid for these skills.
