Most of these fundamentals are still valuable in December 2023. Thank you for sharing!

First guy whose net worth is less than 100 million yet he easily has the best lecture, best content, and is clearly extremely smart and intelligent. LOVE THIS!

[jacobhallman]

By far, the best lecture of the first six because Schultz (1) is a good public speaker so the ideas are clearly presented, (2) he is smart as hell, and (3) he is extremely passionate about what he does. Thank you!

This was a really good lecture on growth. Probably the best I've seen on the topic.

47 minutes feel like 4 minutes. When you forget time while watching something, it means this thing is good.

[tejaskumthekar]

So much of knowledge and inspiration packed into a single video, by far the best of the series! Thanks Alex and the entire team!

[timepa]

[mmafan]

What he said about Facebook and changing notifications depending on the activity of the user is something I would have never thought about doing, great idea.

[bmejia]

An incredible wealth of information. All the kudos to Alex for delivering. Thank you so much. I will be watching this video on repeat for the next three years at least. All the best!

"Growth is optional." what an awesome summation

[alfaromeo]

Awesome lecture. Probably the most exciting I've ever seen.

[frankymiawmiaw]

Great lecture that talks about marketing strategy and lots of useful tactics. How to make the startup grow and grow? I think this one just point it out perfectly!

There’s one thing I wanted to finish with, which is my favorite quote by General Patton. It’s so cliche; it’s crazy, but it’s awesome.

“A good plan, violently executed today, is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.”

And
one other thing that Chamath instills in us and Mark still instills
across the whole of Facebook is move fast and don’t be afraid to break
stuff. If you can run more experiments than the next guy, if you can be
hungry for growth, if you can fight and die for every extra user and you
stay up late at night to get those extra users, to run those
experiments, to get the data, and do it over and over and over again,
you will grow faster.

Mark
has said he thinks we won because we wanted it more, and I really
believe that. We just worked really hard. It’s not like we’re crazy
smart, or we’ve all done these crazy things before. We just worked
really really hard, and we executed fast. I strongly encourage you to do
that. Growth is optional.

This is a great lecture most focused of all the lectures love it
