The GRTiQ 10: Mark Smargon (Ep. 186)
In a recent episode of the GRTiQ Podcast, Mark Smargon shared his perspectives during the GRTiQ 10 segment, offering insights into his personal habits, influences, and keys to success.
Mark recommended a Netflix documentary on the Wild West that challenged his perceptions, particularly the surprising revelation that cowboys were often the antagonists. For music, he gravitated toward the timeless sounds of Pink Floyd, acknowledging that even a favorite album might become tiresome over time.
The best advice Mark received underscores the importance of domain expertise: “Don’t take investment advice from developers, and don’t take development advice from investors.”
Mark’s best life hack was embracing routine, despite initially disliking it. He now values structured habits like consistent sleep and meal times as essential for sustaining productivity and achieving long-term goals.
When reflecting on success, Mark emphasized curiosity and optimism. He views curiosity as a key driver for engaging with the world and optimism as a trait that correlates with success, even if it’s not essential for everyone.
