Hey everyone! My latest article just went live...

Just released this new article today, and I'm really proud of it.

NEW POST FROM EMPACT CO-FOUNDER
"Despite having way more responsibility than anyone else, top performers in the business world often find time to step away from their urgent work, slow down, and invest in activities that have a long-term payoff in greater knowledge, creativity, and energy. As a result, they may achieve less in a day at first, but drastically more over the course of their lives."
We wrote this article to explore this observation. It contains tons of research and examples and was written over many months and many, many drafts. We feel really proud of it, and hope you find value in it too.
Really proud to publish this Empact article on Fortune today.
This article is the result of going really deep on Elon Musk's backstory and doing a deep dive on the academic literature on learning over the past year.

...What do you think about the theory?
