Key Takeaways

1

Identify 'hooks' in public company annual reports by looking for single lines that highlight their fastest-growing segments, such as succulents for 1-800-Flowers or non-alcoholic beer for Heineken.

2

Eliminate decision fatigue by establishing 'flat-ass rules' for non-negotiable habits, like Sam's commitment to never missing a workout regardless of travel or schedule.

3

Become a 'collector of people' by hosting low-cost events like book clubs or meetups to build a network of talented individuals before you actually need to hire them.
