Eric Jorgenson is the author of the Almanac of Naval Ravikant, a GP in the seed investment-focused Rolling Fun, and the creator of the course Building a Mountain of Levers.
Eric also has a podcast called Jorgenson’s Soundbox and was part of the founding team of Zaarly, proximity-based, real-time, buyer-powered market platform.
Eric has condensed the wisdom of Naval, a prolific entrepreneur and investor, into a concise and poignant book. That book has opened doors for him and represents a clever method of accelerating one’s career.
In this conversation, Eric and Aaron discuss Naval’s advice for creating wealth, how to build the skill of being happy, and how to get started creating leverage for yourself.

Mike Dariano is one of the most underrated writers on the internet. He has an unparalleled capacity to connect the dots between disparate, interesting ideas. Every time he writes, we learn, so Piper asked Mike to give a keynote at the 2019 Going Deep Summit.
He did not disappoint.
Mike kept the audience entranced during a 40 minute talk about learning, technology, and the future of work. He confidently integrated information from earlier in the day and context he had about the attendees.
The 2019 Going Deep Summit was a big success thanks to Mike Dariano’s talk.
