Akira The Don, Naval Ravikant - The Builder & The Seller lyrics

Talking about combining skills
You said that you should learn
To sell learn to build if you can do both
You'll be unstoppable
You know this is a very broad category
They are two broad categories
One is building the product
Which is hard and it's multivariate
That can include design
That can include development
That can include manufacturing logistics
Procurement it could even be designing
And operating a service
It has many many definitions
But in every industry
There is a definition of the Builder
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The ultimate is when one
Individual can do both
That’s when you get true super powers
Selling has a very broad definition
Selling doesn't necessarily mean selling
To individual customers
It could be in marketing
It could mean communicating
It could mean recruiting
It could be in raising money
It could mean inspiring people
It's a broad umbrella category
Generally, the Silicon Valley startup model
Tends to work best when you have two founders
One of whom is a world-class of sales
And one of whom is world-class at building
Steve Jobbs and Steve Wozniak of Apple
Gates and Allen at Microsoft
There's a builder and there's a seller
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The ultimate is when one
Individual can do both
That’s when you get true super powers
The real giants in any field are the
People who can both build and sell
And usually the building is the thing
That, like, a salesperson can't pick up
Building later in life
It requires too much focused time
But a builder can pick up selling
If you're at the intersection of
These two don't despair
Because you're not gonna be
The best technologist
And you're not gonna be the best salesperson
But in a weird way that combination
That combination of the two is unstoppable

The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The Builder the Seller
The ultimate is when one
Individual can do both
That’s when you get true super powers
True superpowers true superpowers
True superpowers true superpowers
