At some stage when I was in sales I started to hate unscheduled calls. I’ve since come full circle on this and now prefer to just call rather than make it such a big thing that takes 5 emails just to get a slot booked. There is a warmth to this approach I think the overly
Just call. Don't schedule, don't send me a link to pick a time, don't show me your open slots, just pick up the phone and call. I'll answer or I'll call you back. I bet we'll naturally find a time to talk that day. It'll all work out.

Any VC that makes you pay for their lawyers is not founder-friendly. Founders barely affording rent should not be footing legal bills for VCs with private jets. And yet this is standard. a thread 🧵

Strongly believe that the best thing you can do for your career right now is to set aside time each week to tinker with. Take whatever you’re doing – and figure out how to do it faster, better, and with less effort.

Maybe we need to start teaching these in schools. We had this in ‘morals class’ growing up in Malaysia.
Courtesy costs nothing. When you borrow something, return it cleaned. Lower the toilet seat after use. Let the car in front of you merge. Return shopping carts to their designated areas. Let the people in the elevator exit before you enter. These courtesies are free.

Good motivation to start the week. Let’s go 🏃♂️➡️
If you are ever stuck, keep this in mind: If you really want to run through walls in your work or life... You can't believe they are walls. There is almost always a solution, a path, or a way ahead - you just have to find it.

Nobody tells you how lonely the CEO chair really is. Or how many ways you can screw it up while everyone watches. After 20+ years leading companies, I've made enough mistakes to fill a handbook on what not to do. Some cost us millions. Others nearly killed the company. But
