Chris Sacca is very good at asking dumb questions, says Tim Ferriss –
and Ferriss means it as a compliment. Years ago, Sacca got an
entry-level job at Google and invited himself along to executive
meetings where, once people got used to his strange presence, he started
asking dumb questions, chiming in with the obvious things that no one
was bringing up. “He's created some incredible breakthroughs in
investing as a result of that,” says Ferriss.
In a world where everyone
is afraid of looking stupid, a lot of basic improvements and ideas get
missed for fear of embarrassment. Through several anecdotes amassed
during the writing of his new book Tools of Titans, Ferriss makes
a case for being more intellectually secure in yourself so that you can
raise your hand without fear, ask a dumb question, and actually become
smarter. And in Sacca's case, wealthier.
Tim Ferriss is the author of Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers.
