My new book Own Or Be Owned is out now! I wrote Own or Be Owned to answer one question: how do you make more money, less miserably?

And what if the person everyone loves to hate is actually the one we should all be studying? Eric Jorgenson spent five years studying Elon Musk and distilled everything into his new book, The Book of Elon. He's the bestselling author of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant and has built a career decoding how the world's most effective people think, operate, and win. In this episode, we break down the exact frameworks Elon uses to build companies that rewrite entire industries, why he takes insane risks that would bankrupt most people, and how his relentless focus on speed, truth, and deletion makes him the most leveraged human alive. In this episode, you'll learn: * Why Elon split his last $30 million between SpaceX and Tesla when everyone told him to pick one, and how that decision proved he's mission driven, not money driven * The five step algorithm: question requirements, delete, simplify, accelerate, automate, and why doing them out of order wastes millions * The idiot index: how to identify parts or processes where you're paying 100x more than the raw materials cost and why aerospace was a thousand to one before SpaceX * Why Elon fires fast, moves into factories during production hell, and demands hourly updates on bottlenecks, and how that hardcore culture filters for missionaries * Why demos beat PowerPoints every time and how showing physical progress collapses communication gaps and accelerates decisions ___________ ___________ *MORE FROM BIGDEAL* 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PodcastBigDeal 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigdeal.podcast 📽️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@big.deal.pod *MORE FROM CODIE SANCHEZ* 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CodieSanchezCT 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/codiesanchez 📽️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@realcodiesanchez *OTHER THINGS WE DO* 🌐 Our community: https://contrarianthinking.typeform.com/to/WBztXXID 📰 Free newsletter: https://contrarianthinking.biz/3XWLlZp 📚 Biz buying course: https://contrarianthinking.biz/3NhjGgN 🏠 Resibrands: https://resibrands.com/ 💰 CT Capital: https://contrarianthinking.biz/4eRyGOk 🏦 Main St Hold Co: https://contrarianthinking.biz/3YfGa8u
