Tim, please hire an editor to make clips / highlights for these videos. Similar to how Joe Rogan did it on RU-vid. This would provide a good entry point for people into your content because a 2 hour interview can be a bit overwhelming. In the end, it gets the content, wisdom, lessons, etc out to more people that really need to hear it
I agree and would go one step further. Think of what impact theory does and this means compiling the footage with music behind it to increase accessibility of the information. Getting 10-30 minute videos compilations of this would be epic
TIM'S SHOW NOTES: For anyone not in the know, what is Shopify, and how does Harley envision it scaling to become the entrepreneurship company? [06:50] What books have been most formative for Harley in his business journey with Shopify? What books has he gifted the most to other people? [09:37] How much has Shopify grown during the time in which I’ve known Harley? [14:00] How did Harley wind up moving from Montreal to South Florida and back to Montreal again, who is Phillip Rimer, and what part does he play in Harley’s story? [19:14] As someone who went to law school not to become a lawyer, but become a more effective entrepreneur, what were Harley’s most valuable takeaways from the experience? [28:37] How did Harley most effectively play along with the Socratic method in law school, and how did he bypass the need to absorb 1,200 pages of case study? [33:18] How would Harley design a curriculum that would convey the lessons he learned in law school without the need to actually go to law school, and which texts might I add to the list of required reading? [37:38] I give one must-read fiction recommendation to the guy who’s just now reading a work of fiction for the first time in his life. [43:07] What does Harley’s job at Shopify as COO actually entail, and how does annual re-qualification work there? [43:49] Who is Tobi Lütke, and how did he and Harley meet? [45:47] How did Harley get licensing agreements that made him competetive - as a nobody law student selling t-shirts - with monolithic companies like Walmart? [53:26] How did Harley become the proprietor of Shopify Store 136? [56:06] What were the early days of investment fundraising for Shopify like? [59:44] How I met Tobi and Harley, and the piece of advice I gave them that they took to heart. [1:06:33] On formulating the Build a Business competition that differentiated Shopify from the competition - even if the projected price tag seemed a bit steep at the time. [1:08:06] How the winner of year one’s Build a Business competition helped rejuvinate a dying industry and accessorize a US president, and how year two was designed to differentiate Shopify even further. [1:15:32] What impact have the multi-pronged surprises of 2020 had on retail, and what does Harley see for the future of the industry as a result - particularly ecommerce - that others might be missing? [1:17:55] My own observations about ecommerce adaptations during 2020. [1:26:47] Harley explains how Shopify is “arming the rebels,” and why ecommerce is poised to help support local communities, small businesses, and independent brands - especially during tough times. [1:29:46] How are coaches used at Shopify, what makes some coaches more effective than others in the context of the company culture, and what does it mean when Harley says leadership has to “requalify” for their jobs every year? [1:31:38] What does time with a coach at Shopify typically look like, how does Shopify’s post-coach era compare with its pre-coach era, and what does Shopify’s “trust battery” ultimately empower? [1:38:55] Naming coaching as “one of the top three or four things” that he’s done, what are some of those other things that have moved the needle for Harley? [1:42:46] After trying several “flavors” of meditation that didn’t really work for him, what variety does Harley find effective? [1:44:49] On the importance of blocking out time for family and loved ones (and sometimes just yourself) when an otherwise busy schedule might inadvertendly elbow them out of the picture. [1:47:22] What contemporary C-suite executives does Harley most admire as examples, and what is his unique approach to seeking out the most valuable advice from mentors? [1:50:10] Why you never want to “entice” a busy, potential mentor-level person with these words: “May I take you to coffee and pick your brain?” (And some advice for how you might get better results.) [1:54:56] Influential and thought-provoking biographies. [1:56:33] “Nice guys finish last” is not a truism, and other parting thoughts. [2:00:09]
Tim I'm a huge fan and totally love your interviewing style. Thank you so much for asking questions specifically for entrepreneurs. I think I was among one of your first readers to obsess over The Four hour Work Week! Keep it the excellent work. YBF
No sometimes the nuances of this story are more important, which I have discovered by listening to this in its entirety. Mind you I did it in stages which is possible on this platform and I think that is key...
@@EVMacD A good alternative then would be to post this and then do clips separately. Tim should hire an editor to make clips. This is also a good way for viewers to dip their toe in before committing to a 2 hour episode.. I hope Tim reads these comments.
Tim have you watched the documentary The Art of Effortless Living or read the book Effortless Living both by Jason Gregory? When will you speak to him?
@@hellolau my brain hurts. I think we are in a simulation. everyone who is rich pretends its easy to be rich but idk maybe it is, but why is it so hard for me then 😭also self help books and guru's are a scam. every single one of them, with some exceptions, are all just in it for themselves! we live and then we die. life is pointless and we should just end it while we can, suffering is for losers and noobs
Honestly Tim shorten the stories. Too much side track. Get the questions straight. To the point. 2 hours is just too much. Who cares why he decide to go to Florida? . This may sound rude and I apologize for it. But I apreaciate condensed information.
Why dont you just use the show notes to skip to the bits that interest you? No point in publically announcing your opinion when there are workarounds... Look what is said in the shownotes, "How did Harley wind up moving from Montreal to South Florida and back to Montreal again, who is Phillip Rimer, and what part does he play in Harley’s story? [19:14]". You coulda just skipped this part...
Well, if you were paying attention you would learn how to use the Secretic Method and consolidate the two hour presentation into a five minute executive summary. But you sat in the back of the classroom stAring out the window daydreaming about the hot chic infront of you.
