Eric tells us more about his early years and why he has to try every idea that comes into his mind. Turning our scope toward Eric\\u2019s book, we ask him about what he aimed to get out of it. Following this, we uncover Eric\\u2019s methods for cherry-picking the best, most useful content about Naval Ravikant, and the long process behind sieving through information and creating drafts.
