Ask HN: Whom to follow for the best advice?
From an idea to execution, from general advice to big decision...whom do you follow on the Internet or read about? In another word, whose advice you consider?
- mindcrime 10y agoI hate to sound like a sycophant here, but I rank pg up there pretty high in terms of people whose advice I value highly. I have found a lot of pg's essays to be very valuable. Also, while he comes off as just another random "sale-ey / self-help guy", I have found value in following Grant Cardone. His Youtube videos and his books are all pretty good. And while I'm not sure what I think of Peter Thiel as a person, I did get a lot from his book and I enjoy watching his various interviews and presentations online. I also listen to what Elon Musk has to say, and I have a grudging respect for billg. Richard Stallman is also an influence, even though I am more of an "open source" ideologue than a "free software" diehard. HN's own patio11 is somebody else who doles out some good stuff. Mark Cuban is somebody else that I respect, and whose thinking I pay attention to. Same for Richard Branson. From the "people who are dead" category, I get value from reading works by, and about, both Nicola Tesla and Douglas Engelbart.
- pygix 10y agoThanks. I follow most of them.
