My Favorite Podcast

Naval Ravikant on Reading, Happiness, Systems for Decision Making, Habits, Honesty and More

via The Knowledge Project

This is arguably the best podcast episode I have listened to in 2017. Naval Ravikant is the CEO of AngelList and one of the most successful startup investors of all time. In this episode, he covers investing, reading, happiness, habits, and much more.

This is an episode I plan on revisiting several times because it’s packed with so much insight. Using the link above you can download the podcast for free and listen to it wherever you want. I highly recommend checking it out.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading 🙂
