I like some of his stuff. He has some good energy. The comments about unhealthy life habits are spot on. I am glad it works for him. It's a data set of one from which he is extracting a rule of law. And then shouts down haters. Which is fine, just know what you are getting into when you sign up for his content.

He's an endless supply of self promotion, and his brand and product is him. He's built a big agency, and a lot of that has to do with the energy he has put into his grind. However, when I hear that he puts family first, but then suggest people work as much as he suggests - it's just not realistic.

When my kids go to bed, I want to spend time with my wife, not my laptop.

His energy is infectious, but his most recent foray into Medium of posting emails to him about how awesome he is feels entirely too self promotional for my tastes.

Another poster pointed out that his uber point of "just start" is spot on. Stop analyzing. Learn from doing. Stop making excuses.

I'm reading the new Brad Stone book, and if you want a great example of got-it-wrong-a-bunch-before-a-big-win, look no further than Travis Kalanick. Build skills and learn. Even if you fail a bunch, if you work hard and learn, you are adding value to your life and what you can offer.
