Summary

Noah Healy, a mathematician with expertise in computational math and algorithms, discusses his work on upgrading the operating methods of the global economy. He talks about his company, Coordinated Discovery Market (CDM), and their goal of improving price discovery and maximizing commodities trade volume. Noah shares his daily routine, which involves networking, recording podcasts, and reading mathematics papers. He also discusses his love for music, particularly the connections between mathematics and music. Noah explains his most difficult project, CoorDisc, which took him six months to solve and involved adding recursion to a communication protocol. He also shares his rewarding experiences in solving math problems and building models for sales teams. Noah Healy discusses the problems with current market systems and the need for a solution. He explains that markets are about bringing together supply and demand in balance, but the current system is inefficient and has led to a growing divide between insiders and the rest of the market participants. This has resulted in declining rates of return and a lack of predictability. Noah proposes a solution that involves creating an explicit role for providing information in the marketplace, with the goal of balancing supply, demand, and pricing. He believes that addressing this problem is crucial to prevent a collapse of the economy. Noah Healy discusses the concept of Coordinated Discovery Markets (CDMs) and their potential impact on the economy. CDMs are online marketplaces that integrate price discovery and information sharing to create more efficient and transparent markets. By leveraging the power of technology and collective intelligence, CDMs aim to reduce transaction costs, increase profitability for producers, and provide accurate price information to buyers. The implementation of CDMs could disrupt traditional market structures and benefit both producers and consumers. However, there are challenges in obtaining patents and gaining acceptance for this innovative approach.

To determine your path forward, you have to examine your past.

Marketing Models.

Go robust with a 9 part process that we deploy with clients or jump in on a simplified 5 parter that essentially anyone can use to ensure their marketing is on point. Lastly - go super zoomed out and high-level with a four-part theoretical framework that keeps it super simple and all in front of you.

The Copywriter that I trap inside me like a caged animal was dying to play with some double entendre here; Why Not Start a Business contains a second and more unsuspected meaning lol listen to see if you see it coming before the drop.

To determine your path forward, you have to examine your past.

More here on the path I took (which I don't recommend LOL) and thankfully some stesp you can take to prepare. As always, I encourage you to share - be completely honest with yourself and transparent with others - the path you took, whether it was successful for you or not, is going to really help someone someday.

**If you don't have to, never pay anyone for mindset. It's completely free and a function of mentorship you can seek out or challenges you can put in front of yourself that by overcoming, you achieve the mindset rather than do exercises that simulate it. If you need to talk to someone about it, no problem, but you shouldn't have to if you do it right.

***Shout out to the Technicians out there that help entrepreneurs by protecting our blind sides and covering our blind spots (legal, accounting, insurance) as well as those that teach entrepreneurs to be students of, and in resonance with, their own mind.
