🎧 Check out the extended version of the interview on our podcast - Spotify: spoti.fi/41psd6J - Apple Podcast: apple.co/40pNGLF

I'm 32, my business isn't going well, really needed to hear this today

• Embrace struggle and failure. It’s a norm. Successes are rare. • Failure doesn’t mean you’re not good, it means you have to learn. • 3C for a great leader: courage, clarity, conviction

Courage, clarity and conviction. Will take these three C's to heart

Frank is a brilliant leader. Always great to see a new interview or commentary from him drop. Nothing but words of wisdom and clarity.

The videos are amazing. I love watching them. It helps me to see things from other perspectives and also understand that the stories behind success are very different. It inspires me!

Frank just gets it. One of the best leaders we have in business 👍

So educational, meaningful, and touching. Thanks a lot 👍

More of these please

The most comfortable and inspiring sharing that I have ever seen

Wow I just opened it in a new tab, "for looking 5 sec at it", closing it after 12 min !! Thank for the video and channel, and thank for Frank, he is really amazing gentleman !

incredible to learn from someone who walks the talk!

Inspiring for internationals in US Crazy how relatively unknown he is! Doesn't have a Wikipedia.

"struggle and failure are formative, they teach"... That's a great quote! This guys full of them infact!

Absolutely fascinating advice! Thanks for sharing this!

From VietNam, the speech is amazing!!!

Loved the book - inspiring and actionable :)

Love this! A great adaptable leader

Love this. Thanks for the insight

In a setting where employees are well compensated and their health is taken care of I think everything he says is golden. In setting where employees are essentially exploited workers who aren't valued as individuals, these same ideas are actually quite toxic. It is a somewhat thin line that causes a lot of confusion in modern discourse I think, that working hard when your taken care of is actually desirable, effective, and impressive, but working hard when you're not taken care of is tantamount to being a voiceless slave of sorts.

Exactly the same thought. He must be compensating the employees well for the fast pace work culture he requires. Otherwise the retention rate of employees will be lower.

So good thank you

magnificent talk🤩

I really appreciate Frank Slootman's mindset towards leadership and business. He is absolutely right that leadership should create energy and a sense of urgency in the organization, and that success often requires taking risks and embracing struggle and failure. I also like his metaphor about stepping into an elevator that goes up instead of down, and choosing to work in a growing industry to maximize opportunities. His story of starting from a 15-person startup to building billion-dollar companies is inspiring, and I agree that success is a combination of having good cards and knowing how to play them. Overall, I think Frank's message is clear - focus, intensify, and prioritize opportunities to achieve success.

lovely video thanks.

Looking thru the company financial statements, the numbers indicate likely 2021Q2 it reached the $1 billion threshold (given 2019 calendar year overall revenue was only $592m as detailed in the annual report). This suggests the company reached the $1 billion threshold by Age 9ish. Anyone has any thought to if that's indeed the truth to be the fastest record in history? 😆

This son of a b has hyped me up 😂 i think he's completely right about the energy speed and intensity thing. Important bit of psychology regarding effort and motivation there, plus things get lethargic when it is allowed to do so. Inefficiency is a business killer.

It's always interesting to see how the psychopaths who run our world think, and how their thinking creates so much suffering. No mention at all behind how urgency, or pushing a fast pace leads to stress, anxiety, suffering for employees. The only thing that matters is the success of the company, for the org to win. And when the org wins, he becomes a billionaire, while you'll get a mere fraction of the value you helped to create.

He invested millions of his own money into the project. He runs the project all day. He had yeh stressful task of managing people and the project. And he supports the economy and pays many millions in taxes which support you and the people. He provides good and services for people, like the one you are using right now to text. He risked so much, and it payed off - and so he got rewarded.

So take the elevator that goes down, learn and make mistakes and grow, then get off find another elevator and hopefully you get good cards

He’s a career ceo not a founder

0:48 I think you just lied, since OpenAI has grown to 20 billion faster than anything before, moreover it is 20x more valuable in financial terms than SnowFlake and it is only in financial terms, in real value I think there is nothing that comes close to GPT-4 so far.

All things being equal, being white and lucky is important. All the hot air he regurgitates is nothing new. Well done to him, but don’t make us think he is amazing. Hooped onto the right elevator at the right time. Others aren’t as lucky even in the same elevator. You want “fantastic and wow”? Pay well. Otherwise you will have “ok or below”

Vast majority of entrepreneurs are not white. Maybe not in the western world, but around the globe. The color of one's skin is irrelevant to success. Luck is the main factor. However increasing ones chances is the name of the game. Working harder, being in the right industry, etc. It all just increases the chances for success, nothing guarantees it.

He said it himself, it's about having the right cards and know how to play them right. Some of the things you said may be relevant, but it's also because he knows what cards he have and how to play them. I don't think it's an excuse to limit ourselves just because of the thing you mentioned. Just gotta know what cards you have, and find the right opportunities to play those cards.

It's interesting how people like you step out of the woodworks at exactly the worst times. There are tons of people who have gotten where they are due to privilege and plain luck but of course you have to pick on one of the examples where this is obviously not true. As he said in the video he had to take jobs that no one else wanted because he's a foreigner. That discredits any sort of privilege you're talking about. He also said (were you even listening??) that you need a good hand AND you need to know how to play it. So yes he hopped on to the right elevator at the right time but he probably hopped onto many wrong ones as well. But overall, having gone through the journey of creating 3 successful businesses it cannot just be about luck or about privilege. One success? Certainly possible, maybe probable due to luck. Two? Slight chance. Three times? No way it can be luck, that would be exceedingly rare. It's much more likely he knows exactly how to run a profitable business than the other way around. What he's saying in the video sounds very actionable to me unlike many other "gurus" who cannot back up their claims. This is the first time I've ever heard of this man and for once I'm actually impressed by a businessman and what he has to say.

Honestly I don't like how insiders cash out. Seems Scammy, what I respect about Elon was that he was in. I won't buy a tesla, but I respect him as a CEO. He built a loyal army. This guy just seems like a grifter. Who got lucky

U mean you are not woke CEO????
