    4 things for having a great lasting partnership:
    1. Make it a giving contest
    2. When you have disagreements, use the sleep test
    3. When you look at data, ask what story is it telling you? rather than trying to find data to support your thesis
    4. Be as close to the center of a network as possible, where you can help connect everyone around you , similar to an API

    Granted some episodes do drag a bit, or go off-way. But, I love this podcast, not just becoz' it offers so much information, but also becoz' it's like two normal guys chatting at a cafe. I've picked up so much info from this podcast...love watching it on YT, rather than listen on Spotify, or iPodcast.

    As somebody who grew up Mormon, but is no longer. In my view, their investment portfolio is appalling and the fact that Ben claims that most people within the church don’t think it’s a big deal is ridiculous. For the size of the church, It’s one thing to have 5-10B stocked away, but to have as much as they do when members of their church are struggling (I’m talking about the millions in 3rd world countries who make dollars a day) is just unbelievable. One of the MANY reasons I left and why many others have too.

      @@dans8927 Saving the donations that they claimed was going to serve people. They're saving it for "a rainy day" instead of putting it into action in the world today to help people in need. They don't even donate 10% of their revenue/income that comes from the members. The church leads people to think that their donations are helping people when it's not. They aren't even transparent about where the funds are used

    As an othordox jew we also believe in giving 10% of your income to charity but not to any fund, etc. You give it to your neighbor who struggles or to any other cause you feel is important. It's ridiculous how these religions are just using their believers to make money, even if no individual makes profit from it, but why shouldn't the money be used to help ppl who struggle. This is totally against God's will.

How do you incorporate that advice into your greatness journey? How do you successfully mix the 2 and be the best at being in the middle?

    10. I have thought about this before, and i would say the best businesses are abrahamic religion and running country. Abrahamic religion because of their centralisation. In dharmic religion or pagan religion you can run a cult, but its has a limited scalability. Take hinduism for example, in India, hindus/hinduism has no tax break or subsidy. They are heavily taxed while abrahamic religion are completely tax free, gets subsidy and enjoys & absuses extra judicial powers and institutions as well as global support.

    I’m not triggered or fragile by any means but “you’re uh Hindee or Hindoo? Something like that?” is kind of 🤔 specially when this question has been asked at least twice in previous pods. Hindi is a language Hindu is a religion. Nobody expects people to memorize details of every culture but this particular subset included billions of the world’s people. If you don’t know, just ask tasteful questions ok?
    There is an interesting Hindi film addressing this topic called PK.
