We're so lucky to live in a world where a cold email & a coffee can totally change your life.

do you not use any biases when deciding which meetings to take? not everyone lives in this world you speak of
Persistence and substance can kill just about any bias. The problem today is not access, it’s the inability to focus and execute.

IMHO it costs time and effort to be persistent. efficiently generating substance requires perspective & while it may be a talking point in VC zeitgeist, perspective is not a commodity. so why should those who are already marginalized by our biases have to work harder?

difficulty of access = lack of access

You're missing the point of this tweet. If you consistently publish interesting ideas, doors will open. Too many people are afraid to broadcast original ideas and/or send a cold email to make things happen. Listen to

Yup. It’s about having a system or habits in place that will yield non linear outcomes over time. You can’t know which meeting, tweet, blog post, cold email/tweet, etc will change the trajectory apriori.

why the original post bothers me is that it read to me as a perpetuation of the toxic myth that anyone can make it with hard work. my read
i think we’re making progress but generalization and premature celebration feels counterproductive -
Of course hard work isn’t sufficient to become successful. Whats a more liberating belief : believing persistence + high leverage choices increase chances of success or that not everyone who works hard becomes successful? We can talk about myths all day but that gets us nowhere.

hear ya. my politics don’t really prioritize self-liberation so we can leave our differences there
