This was really an outstanding analysis. I was aware of the beef, but the way you captured it and distilled relevant lessons from it was epic. I’ll be thinking through this post for a long time. Thank you! (P.S. I refer people to your 100 Days of Rejection work all the time. I very much appreciate what you do and the opportunity to learn from it.)
🔥 Damn, Jia. This was surgical. You didn’t just explain what happened—you translated it into a blueprint for personal greatness. “Cause over Person” and “Love over Talent” are principles I’ll be coming back to again and again.
I’ve read a lot of takes on the Kendrick vs. Drake saga, but this is the only one that made me want to wake up earlier tomorrow and go build something. That “Mama Bear Effect” line? Hits deep. And the George Bernard Shaw quote? Brilliant framing.
This post reminds me that the most important battles aren’t won by flexing—but by feeling, creating, and refusing to quit.
Subscribing was a no-brainer. This is the kind of writing that lives rent-free in your head (in the best way).
Thank you Jia! I did watch the halftime show but had no idea that that was going on. Appreciate the lesson there but more so appreciate the principles you shared! They are awesome
That's an interesting comment. I think Elon for sure used Principle 1. I am too sure about Principle 2, since I haven't looked into his psyche. But this is an interesting comment.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DESCRIBING ELON.
