@viraj.ala: Some founders chase impact at scale. Travis says the deepest impact... ๐ถ๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐. Founder of Anaconda. A $1.5 BILLION valuation. With a B. He also invested in Canary Speech, on track to do about $500 million in revenue over the next year. A founder for 12 years. How did he grow up? In a family of ten children. He was the seventh of ten. He loved it. He just didn't know how poor they were. So what changed, if he came from so little? A fundamental desire to serve people. Wanting to see others benefit. That's what drives him. He believes in God. And the most important lesson? Forgive. Be grateful. We forgive to support our own brains. Not to justify anyone else's behavior. Why let someone hurt you more than once? A life full of gratitude and forgiveness makes you a much better person to be around. How do you build access? He points to six degrees of Kevin Bacon. The theory that everyone is six connections from someone famous. But in most cases, you're only three hops away from someone who could help you. Just follow the network. What separates the good from the great? Passion. And since people say passion doesn't pay the bills? He agrees completely. What pays the bills is taking that passion and serving other people with it. Because serving others is what gets us out of ourselves. That's where the real satisfaction lives. Deathbed at 100. The lesson he'd leave behind: You have the greatest impact by having a large impact on the people closest to you. Because they'll carry your story the longest.
