A 1286 slide presentation on everything I learned in my 20s on life, entrepreneurship, and the world, created in advance of my 30th birthday on August 14, 2014. My motivation to complete this (somewhat big) project was my mom Pauline who inspired so many others to love everyone, follow their bliss, and dream big. I hope you find the slides useful!

Have you considered taking on $50k-500k in credit card debt to fund your startup? It's a great idea and is part of living in the Extraordinary, rather than Ordinary, World.

How to improve your friends:

1. Write down your 20 closest friends, select the 10 who most inspire you with what they are doing in their lives
2. Select 10 people who you don't know so well who also inspire you
3. Combine these two lists to make a new set of people who should be your future closest friends

my favourite part so far is the section on how to make a presentation, where he says you need to be short and concise then goes on for another 1000 slides.

my least favourite is the section on how to be a jedi.

i'm up to about slide 930 but my eyes glazed over hundreds of slides ago somewhere around the section where he describes investing for babies.

also, this dude has a bucket list for himself and a separate bucket list for his relationship and includes a picture of the poor girl sitting beneath all the bucket list items stuck all over the walls on individual post its.

It's pretty cool that people will completely ignore your mental illness problems if you have enough money.
