Find your North Star, and once you do, never take your eye off it.

Jason: “When people make decisions purely for the money, it often leads you in the wrong direction. You get these short term dopamine hits, and then you look up a year or two, or 10 years later, and you’re like, where am I?

You end up in a place like “why am I so dissatisfied with my life? Why am I so frustrated?” – and it’s like, well, you’re making pretty good money and you got a pretty good situation, but you’re not really happy with it.

It’s because you’re not doing what you really, really want to be doing. Always be thinking, looking at your North Star – like what is it that you really, really want to do? Go do that.

Obviously you have to make a living, you have to be realistic about what you can do to actually pay for rent and get by. But if you get too distracted with the short term you can lose sight of the long term goal.”

Justin: “Do the short term well enough that you can continue playing the long game. The long game is what you always want to be optimizing towards.”
