Todd Benson
Born in a small town Kansas
Wanted to go to NY
Harvard gave him great experience
Develop the ability to think as well as working hard and mastering your craft
For developing friends: physical proximity, repeated unplanned interaction, and environment to be vulnerable
Work long hours in career and build relationships with new people
Don’t know how much they don’t know. Gives you an opportunity to fail and learn
Funds of his all went to zero
Absolute value instead of relative value
Interested in government and public goods. Bringing more technology into those areas
Bitter sweet exit
Thinks it's hard to have work/life balance
Most really successful people that he knows make work their life
Choose your friends selectively
