00:00:00.000 One of my mentors, Ken, gave me this advice

00:00:02.000 that easily made me 50 million in my life.

00:00:04.340 And it was simple.

00:00:05.740 Find the smartest people you can,

00:00:07.660 and without being creepy,

00:00:09.500 spend as much time as you can with them.

00:00:11.420 And when I moved to San Francisco,

00:00:12.720 I took that advice and I was like,

00:00:14.320 I'm gonna find the brainiacs, the geniuses.

00:00:17.440 They exist.

00:00:18.180 And I met this guy, Otavio,

00:00:19.700 who built this software called WordLens

00:00:22.280 that four years later, after meeting him,

00:00:24.580 helping him, spending time with him,

00:00:26.720 he sold to Google,

00:00:27.840 which eventually became Google Translate.

00:00:29.600 That only happened because Ken told me to find people like Otavio

00:00:33.280 and do whatever you can to spend time with them

00:00:35.560 because those are where the opportunities will spiral

00:00:37.860 and create value in your life.
