Before the Bestseller



Today, we’re joined by Eric Jorgensen, a writer, entrepreneur, and the author of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant. Eric has a unique ability to take complex ideas and turn them into practical insights on business, personal development, and the power of curating valuable knowledge. In this conversation, we explore Eric’s journey—from the ideas that first inspired him to how he evolved into a writer and creator. He shares how powerful concepts like leverage and happiness have shaped both his personal and professional life, and how these ideas continue to guide his business decisions. We also dive into the importance of mental models, the art of being selective with your time and attention, and how Twitter has been a key platform in Eric’s personal and professional growth, despite its ever-changing algorithm. Plus, he teases his exciting new project—The Almanack of Eric Jorgensen, a collection of lessons and insights from his own journey that promises valuable takeaways for anyone looking to grow and learn, offering a fresh perspective on business and life that will leave you with plenty of ideas to think about and apply.
