RelinquisGreat clip. Explains WSO to some extent!

Some of the other content on thersa.org is also pretty cool.

Yeah, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I remember watching Patrick's interview with Mixergy, and he mentioned how he was working 50 to 60 hour weeks in PE while working an additional 20 on WSO. The difference was the latter 20 hours didn't seem like work to him, as he actually enjoyed putting together his own thing. At one point in the interview, he also mentions how although WSO wasn't financially rewarding in the beginning, the fact that people in the community were succeeding (i.e. non-targets breaking in, etc.) was more intrinsically rewarding than the money in high-finance. So I definitely can draw the parallels between the clip and WSO.

Thanks for the link. Nice picture!
