Hi Friends!

Greetings from Mumbai!

Here is this week’s Saturday-Pentacle. A list of things and ideas I found Interesting.


Issue 212 // Week 9 // 2022


A book I’m reading

The Making of a Manager – I’ve was introduced to this book from an email or video (not sure which) by Ali Abdaal.

This book is written by Julie Zhuo who is famous in the Silicon Valley circles. She started her career with Facebook and worked along with Mark and Sheryl as well.

But this book is no fluff, it’s pretty intimate story of her journey from being thown into a manager position and how she managed to be come a great one.

As quoted by her –

Good managers are made, not born.

I’m midway through this book in two sittings, It’s that interesting. Plus I’m able to relate many portions with where I am in my career right now.


My recent LinkedIn post

Disruptive Innovation Vs Traditional incremental change – In this micro essay, I explored how Disruptive Innovation being different from Traditional incremental change can still coincide.


A Tweet thread I loved —

This thread by Joe Speiser was fire. After reading this I also started re-evaluating my entire investment strategy.

It’s full of how insights and strategy (especially cigar butts strategy).


A podcast episode I loved —

Minting Billionaires and the Religion of Bitcoin with Meltem Demirors – The title of the episode sounds too lucrative to be true, doesn’t it?

But when you start digging in and find how deep Meltem is in this crypto ecosystem and how knowledgeable she is, it starts turning into a really really interesting podcast episode.

Loved the episode.


Quote which I found meaningful –

Trust allows relationships to compound. When you don’t have to re-evaluate people or worry about protecting yourself all the time, you go both further and faster with less anxiety and stress.
