For a variety of reasons, most people hold back what they really think when they're in a business setting. When they're asked a question, their default is to answer based on what they think the other person wants to hear, instead of what they really want to say. I've noticed

I’ve been working with both @cartainc and @AngelList since they started. Carta keeps getting more expensive and crappier. Lots of mistakes, no customer service, 4% annual cost increase. AngelList keeps getting cheaper and better. New products, more automation, cost goes down.

“Every couple you admire has walked through fire.” Eric’s thread is worth reading. It’s the part nobody talks about. I’ve been married for 28 years and often say that there are 3 types of marriages: 1) Those that end in divorce. 2) Those that come close to ending in divorce.
People ask why I’ve been posting more photos of Jenni and me lately. Here’s the truth. 👇

I give this essay out a lot.
I read this at 18. Had a big influence on me. Interesting finding: difference between levels is not quantitative like hours worked. It’s qualitative. So what an Olympic swimmer calls swimming and what a varsity swimmer calls swimming are two different things.

This is why I’m on X. Solid take.
@nerjiyullahi Licking the excess off the nozzle when you finish pumping gas. Can't tell you how many of my clients do this. Extremely harmful.

Ben Horowitz shares the management technique he learned from Andy Grove to “unstick” projects that have fallen off track. Schedule a daily 8:00 a.m. meeting with team members to force every hidden blocker into the open. Once people are forced to explain why work isn’t moving,
We hung out with @bhorowitz - on why founders fail (confidence, not competence), his CEO barbecues with Zuck and Kanye, how he reopened Tupac's murder case, creating hip-hop pensions for Grandmaster Caz, and why management books are useless. Way more interesting than expected.

I remember when ESPN was 100% good. Now it’s just a weird, money- oriented establishment-gobbling Babadook.
Kiffin supposedly has given offensive coaches an ultimatum: come with me today or there won’t be a spot for you. The injury he’s inflicting on @OleMissFB has gone from selfishly incidental to intentional. The danger is this: he’s delayed his decision so long that putting

Just off the Plaza Mayor in Madrid. Costumed characters were taking a break. Abuelita just wandered in. You can see SWH’s reflection in the glass.

Btw, if… VT > UVA Mia > Pitt Cal > SMU Duke > Wake would result in a 6-way tie at 6-2 atop the ACC. That would lead to the first two coaches who call dibs getting a berth in the title game.

"The unscalable execution tactics work for prospecting: The AI execution layer is creating a big mental spam filter for prospects. Prospects can tell when they are interacting with an AI email, LI message, video, phone script. Get back to the unscalable approaches." Yup.

Your employer will never pay you what you're worth. They can't. Their model only works if there's a gap between what you produce and what you cost. A great way to close that gap is to work for yourself.

“To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.” Kind of a banger.
It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.
