Hey ,
My friend Naveen Jain once had a rather unusual experience at UK immigration.
The officer asked him a simple question.
“What do you do?”
“I mine the moon,” Naveen replied.
The officer looked up.
“Sir, we don't joke here. What do you do?”
“I mine the moon.”
Eventually, Naveen gave up.
“I'm a software engineer.”
And they waved him straight through. π
Here's the funny part.
Naveen wasn't joking about his ambitions.
He founded Moon Express, a company pursuing the development of resources beyond Earth.
And his healthcare company, Viome, is working toward an even more audacious vision:
A world where illness is optional.
I've known Naveen for years. He's a dear friend and mentor.
And I've chosen him as the very first guest on my brand-new podcast, Extraordinary Minds.
Because when we sat down for this conversation, he challenged something I hadn't even realized I was doing.
I was thinking too small about my own future.
I was describing a new AI company I'm building and what I hoped to achieve over the next year.
Naveen stopped me.
“And then what?”
I explained the next milestone.
“And then what?”
And suddenly, I realized I'd been thinking twelve months ahead when I should have been imagining what I could create over the next ten years.
It completely changed how I saw my own company.
