Achieved a life-long dream of mine today: bought my parents a home. 🙏🏾🥳🎊🎉
Since my parents immigrated in 91, we’ve been renters.
It’ll never be a sliver of repayment for them — but here’s to breaking generational curses and beginning a journey of ownership for the folks!

Anyone notice that OpenAI did the exact opposite of what YC preaches?
1. Raised a ton of money pre-product
2. Built for years before launching
3. Built waterfall vs agile
4. Hired big staff pre-revenue
Solving complex problems requires money & time. Not a one size fits all.

Man... Been running hard & fast for so long, sometimes barely processed what's happened.
10 yrs ago, I was a doorman for $10 p/h, going to community college.
Somehow started a co, launched a fund, got a TV show, bought my parents a house, raised VC.

My source of validation doesn’t come from:

It comes from believing in my work and having the bravery to pursue it.

Somewhere along the road we started listening to VCs more than founders on company-building.
This is a big mistake.
The depth you reach as a founder is incomparable to that of an investor.

I wish VCs got that “good feeling” from more kids of color when pitching for their first break.

He said “By working my ass off.”

As an 18 yr old kid — I made it onto the set of ‘Boardwalk Empire’ in Brooklyn one night.
It was 2am. I had just left my doorman job. I was there for my lucky break.
Michael vouched for me. & we went on to clean 3 seasons of wardrobe for BE.
Thank you so much. 🙏🏾

$ Advice for 20s:
1. Pick a skill; develop it
2. Work for free; up your rate over time
3. Re-invest aggressively into your skill to build earning power
4. Invest surplus into new skills, don’t be afraid to take L’s. It’s cost of tuition.
5. Repeat for 10 yrs

I only ever took 1 business class, my first semester of community college.
Everything else I’ve learned by doing.
There are too many MBAs running businesses. It creates a 1-sided view.
IMO, building a company comes from the heart & imagination. Not formulas.
