Is the key to Twitter engagement just dunking on Chamath's SPACs? . Never got this much love on a product launch that's for sure

Thank you for having me on! We build product at Footprint thinking what Carl Jung would do :).
@EliWachs defines Identity far better than any of my college philosophy professors. @footprint_hq, in stride, is building infrastructure to redefine and protect identity for enterprises and their partners in the modern era; tune in to listen how!.

Had a great time chatting with @lozo_the_bozo about our work at @footprint_hq , the scary world of fraud, and of course stand up comedy! Listen below!.

3. Optimism leads to happiness.It’s probably more fun to be pessimistic in certain moments (a la the joy I found telling people White Lotus Season 3 had no plot :)). But not only do optimists win, I think life is a whole of a lot more enjoyable when you’re optimistic about it.

2. People > Money.It’s easy to look at prospects at revenues. Investors as a source of money. Team members as contributors to generate revenue. This could not be more misguided. Nothing matters more than how you treat people and how they remember you. And when you treat people in.

1. There will always be another milestone. Enjoy this one.In startups (and life), it’s easy to look ahead. Get excited by what is next. Dreams are great, but if you’re always living in them, you don’t take the moments to appreciate the dreams you’re already living in. Be grateful.
