Content Diet Framework
Share
A framework for optimizing your content consumption diet, focusing on quality information over trending content. Here's the detailed breakdown of the system:
Older is Better
- Move away from news feed style content consumption
- Focus on content with longer-term value
- Key content types to prioritize:
- Annual shareholder letters
- Annual reviews from successful people
- Company annual reports
- Example highlighted: Nick Sleep letters
- Legendary investor letters
- Built wealth through concentrated positions (Amazon, Costco, Berkshire)
- Shows power of long-term thinking and simplicity
Pay for Learning
- Invest money directly in personal education
- Example: Hiring an AI tutor
- Pays $500/hour for personalized AI insights
- Tutor presents 4 most interesting developments weekly
- Saves 8-10 hours of personal research time
- Provides focused, high-quality information
- Allows for direct Q&A about specific problems
Early Arbitrage Exploit
- Take advantage of new platforms early when quality is highest
- Current example: Air Chat
- Naval's new voice-based social platform
- High-quality early users (Naval's network)
- First 90 days provide unique opportunity
- Similar to early Clubhouse days
- Strategy:
- Go all-in during first 7-90 days
- Leverage smaller user base to stand out
- Build connections with high-quality early adopters
- Capitalize on curated community before dilution
Note: "Look to the left" and "More with less" weren't detailed in the transcript.
