As every artist have their own art influences, I also do. Here's the lists:

**Seth Godin**

Honestly I rarely read his book, but I listened to him through a bunch of Podcasts. He's an epitome of great sage in real life. I really like his opinion about work with constraints, and questioning the status quo.

**Derek Sivers**

He is the inspiration of this page and mostly this blog. I admire how he can express his emotion in a very wide range and also do a lot of things at the same time.

**Tim Ferriss**

I listened to his podcast for more than 10 years. I really like how he frame his thinking with the right questions and experimenting himself to the fullest.

**Charlie Munger**

People only saw him as the Warren Buffet sidekick, but I think he's way cooler. His speech about human bias is demythifying human based decision making and how human tend to make errors in judgements because we are just human.

**Dieter Rams**

I only view his art through Braun's products. He also have simplest design and fashion style. He have this design commandment that I really resonate with. I always have a thing for minimalism.

**Ali Abdaal**

I learn to build my YouTube channel from his courses. Although expensive, it serve the purposes of enabling me to start my YouTube journey. From his courses, I also learn that it's very okay to sell courses as long as the quality and the support is good.

**David Perell**

He's the icon for internet writing. He's been advocating internet writer since I don't know how long and I attend his last Write of Passage courses. I could say that's one of the best online course I ever attend. The quality is just superby. I also listened to his podcast and the quality is super amazing. He's my inspiration for content quality.

**David Heinemeier Hansson**

The guy who created Ruby on Rails. I really like his structure thinking on how to write beautiful code and self sovereign. I also understand more about open source culture by understanding Ruby on Rails.

If you notice, most of my heroes is creating something, whether it's a product, content, or a book. I notice this too. In the past I have heroes like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Andrew Wilkinson, Howard Schultz, etc. But over the years the admiration grew out and I tend to attached to authors and builders. It's really okay to grow out yourself. Maybe I like simple entrepreneurship that serve the passion within.
