Advice on building wealth, becoming a better thinker, happiness, health, and philosophy
Do you know those questions where if you could have dinner with anyone living or dead, who would you have it with and why?
For me, it would be Naval Ravikant.
And to be honest, I didn’t know much about his life. Maybe you don’t either. I know that he founded AngelList. I know that he has a brother Kamal Ravikant who is also a force of nature. Here is a short timeline from a new (and free book) called The Almanack of Naval Ravikant.
