This is a great comment and I can echo much of its sentiment.
Another commenter wrote something very similar to mine.
There are three things that I consider to have had the largest impact on my life:
1. Learning to Learn - sounds obvious and simple but it truly isn't. There's a lot of un-learning that generally happens first before you can truly become someone that loves to learn on their own or with a partenaire dans le crime.
2. Crossfit - which introduced me to powerlifting and olympic lifting - the combination of diet (keto, paleo, zone), metabolic conditioning, and strength is basically hacking your body. My quality of life in a very physical existence has improved tremendously by becoming more athletic and much stronger.
3. Co-founding a technology company. This one most people here should relate to the most.
To elaborate a teensy bit on these points; none of these convictions/events/understandings happened at once, it was a gradual aggregation of different experiences and micro-choices along the way that ultimately culminated in these distinct three "pieces".
I also find it mildly interesting that I've after the fact identified these "three". What happens to be the most stable configuration in our physical environment? THREE! The tripod, three perceivable dimensions, blablabla; I might write about this now.
My biggest issue powerlifting/weightlifting is the amount of time it takes. I've had to cut back for other things because it's hard to have the time to get 8+ hours of sleep.
I love lifting but I'm curious how it has affected you when starting company, something (from what I've read here) is notoriously time consuming.
