You’re in her DM’s. I’m on page 272 of Advanced Marathoning by Pete Pfitzinger. We are not the same.

The word “performative” is performative. Stop using big words to call someone a dork.

Great follow for any people working on their running technique. (I am people).
Advice for new runners! 🏃♀️🏃♂️ Focus on being tall when you are running. Sometimes when we increase our effort, we get so tight! Relax and focus on proper running form!

As a general rule, the more ridiculous the track warmup looks, the more effective it is. The whole point is to get bouncy and loose.
Some lovely activation and mobility drills. ⭐Bounding ⭐Carioca ⭐Straight Leg Bound ⭐Wall Drill Hopefully these are helpful. Give them a try!

Your product mirrors the system of the organization that built it.
Today, Ramp raised another $300M at a $32B valuation. In the past year our revenue has doubled to over $1B, growing 10x faster than the median public SaaS. We all know money talks — we're teaching it to think. Getting big no longer means getting slow.

People ask me how it feels to have 10k on LinkedIn but I can't hear them over the noise in the Missoni room at the Byblos.

I love winter training because anyone can run in the summer but only real dogs run in the winter.

Both. Like running. The best runners can go 10 miles+ and also fast at 200m. Business takes years of stamina. Also need to be able to rip hard when it’s deal mode, big launch, etc.
@MichaelDBrandt How would you describe this kind of energy? Is it the ability to work long hours with focus late day after day, or is it more aggressiveness/assertiveness? I think the former can be developed through habits but the latter is harder to build unless one is wired for it.

ENERGY AND PASSION 🎯
I’ve never met anyone who got rich who didn't have an extraordinary amount of energy.

It's one of the most extraordinary aspects of the American system. Allocating capital towards moonshot ideas is a massive net win for society.
pretty wild that venture capital exists crazy thing to wrap your head around
