The GRTiQ 10: Anna Kazlauskas (Ep. 196)
Anna Kazlauskas joined the GRTiQ 10 segment of the podcast, offering a fascinating look into her life philosophy, inspirations, and unique perspectives.
Anna shared an unconventional literary influence: appliance manuals. As a child, she found fascination in the step-by-step logic of these manuals, seeing them as a window into understanding how systems and processes work.
When it comes to viewing recommendations, Anna prefers old, lesser-known YouTube videos of entrepreneurs and founders giving talks. She particularly enjoys watching how these individuals evolve over time, which she finds inspiring and insightful.
For music, Anna would choose a meditation soundtrack if restricted to just one album. Her strategic choice reflects a focus on balance and calmness in life.
Anna’s best advice came with a caveat: “Don’t listen to advice blindly.” She emphasizes the importance of understanding the context behind advice and encourages founders to approach suggestions as data points rather than definitive directives.
A significant life lesson for Anna is that every skill is learnable. From coding to interpersonal skills, she believes that anything can be mastered with practice and a willingness to improve.
Prioritizing sleep is her go-to life hack. Despite the challenges of balancing work as a founder, she underscores the importance of rest for maintaining clear thinking and perspective.
Persistence stands out as Anna’s key to success. She believes that relentless pursuit and an unwavering desire to achieve a goal are often the defining factors in realizing success.
The thing that most excites me about the future of web3 is… “Bringing more people on-chain and enabling new economic primitives where users are owners and stakeholders in the products they use.”
If you’re on X (Twitter), you should be following… “Marginal REVOLUTION, an economics blog by Tyler Cowen.”
I’m happiest when… “I’m building—whether it’s writing code, shipping, or helping others ship.”
