Key Takeaways
1
Adopt a 'hated and unloved' investment philosophy by seeking opportunities where consensus is negative but the underlying value is strong.
2
To build deep rapport quickly, identify and ask about a person's current niche passion rather than their most famous accomplishments.
3
Successful entrepreneurs often possess a history of winning in high-stakes competitive environments, suggesting that talent is transferable across different 'games'.
