I don't get it. And what is naval?
seasoned venture capitalist, founder of a platform for startups seeking funding and job seekers. used to offer pretty insightful commentary on social but fell for the "twitter guru" trap years ago.

They offer no important lessons.

i'd take lessons from celebrities with a grain of salt, but with respect to successful people in general who actually made their money through means other than cronyism / inheritance / popularity contest industries, there's plenty of valuable mental models to be derived from interacting with or studying them and the circumstances and context in which they thrived.

The lesson is, either be born with incredible natural talent, or be born to an incredibly rich family, or steal everyone else around you's ideas and claim them for yourself.
talent helps a lot, but it's not everything. execution, strategy, and the people you coordinate with is just as critical. moreso, even.

there are very few original ideas and most companies, even on the bleeding edge, are competing with others on the same concepts. it's here that execution and strategy matters most.
