Summary: The author discusses the importance of finding people with interesting experience and insight to gain a competitive advantage over competitors. He argues that an information advantage is the most resilient to AI and that access to people is the biggest moat one can have. He provides an example of a company that found success by focusing on people with deep insights and experience. He also shares his personal method for finding interesting employees in a company using LinkedIn.
