4 Ways to Be More Likable by Saying Very Little
Including a reminder from Anthony Bourdain that may very well be the key to just about everything
World domination isn’t something I spend a great deal of time thinking about as I have a hard enough time trying to keep up with my two kids.
But recently, Greg Isenberg, growth advisor for TikTok US, broke Twitter with a thread about the lessons he’d learned about life, entrepreneurship, and business by interviewing five billionaires in as many days.

“Likable people win. People sense those good vibes. It does wonders for your startup, career, and life.”
It’s surprising how polarizing a topic like likability can be for people. A solid majority feel it really is a superpower. Others, however, think it isn’t. In fact, some people think working to be more likable is a massive waste of time as it implies you’re a person of many masks.
Personally, I’m with the filthy rich people Greg interviewed.
