John's insights on the impact of deadlines are spot on. A less-known tactic is using Parkinson's Law strategically-setting artificially tight deadlines to boost productivity and creativity, especially when kickstarting new ventures in fast-paced fields like AI. It's all about optimizing time to turn pressure into progress.
John's approach of using deadlines to drive focus is spot on! Deadlines can indeed be powerful motivators for achieving goals and driving productivity. 💡
I like the part where he talked about building an AI startup in 72 hours. Especially where he showed hiw he planned and calculated to get to that 72 hour number. He kept talking and stressing that 72 hours, it was great!

So, from what I gather, the reason for organizing Inception Studio as a non-profit company is to avoid "adverse selection" and to unconditionally support the talented founders. However, I am uncertain about how this "missionary" end, without the "mercenary" means, can be sustained over time. Didn't Adam Smith say "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages." Is the presenter contradicting Smith's maxim, or is he subversively applying Smith's maxim when he talks about the advantages of the founders that his company affords?
it's ridiculous to think that Andy Chou would've gotten the $10M he did if his name wasn't Andy Chou, give me a break man - his idea isn't differentiated than 1,000 other teams attempting the same thing
There are countless entrepreneurs that got acquired with hack products, newsletters apps - but now have "pedigree" they have "done it" which is why so few win a 2nd time, BUT with funding guidance and support finding talent they have a huge leg up. THEN they run thrugh the series ABCD game kind of ponzi - god loves speed

Golden advice. You are changing lives! Thank you.

Got to meet John at an event. Really enjoyed our chat and a fan of Inception - hope to be part of a cohort soon!
This channel is Netflix for me! It's like it was created for me. Lovely!

I have to make 30 million startup
Sounds like someone investors should avoid.
