Patrick Collison’s advice for people in their 20s: “Work at a place with high standards” Most people in their 20s ask: “What should I do?” Wrong question. The right question: “Where can I learn the highest standards?” Patrick Collison, Stripe’s co-founder, shares a key insight from Apprentice to Genius. The most successful people had mentors who taught them two things: 1. How to pick the right problems – Important but solvable. 2. What great actually looks like – Experiencing world-class standards firsthand. This applies to business, tech, art—everything. Most people never see true excellence up close. So they don’t even know what to aim for. That’s why your 20s shouldn’t be about chasing money or titles. Instead: Find a field that excites you. Identify the best in that field. Get as close to them as possible—work for them, learn from them, absorb their standards. When you see greatness up close, your brain rewires. Your standards rise permanently. That’s the real unlock. Not just working hard—working at the right level. Follow Vishu Bheda for more valuable startup insights from the world's best founders!
