The most under-hyped trait is the ability to energize the people around you & make them smile. Everything in life is better when you make it a little whimsical

One of the hardest things in the world is dedicating yourself and your energy to ONE PURPOSE. If you’re anything like me, it’s the moments that you dedicated yourself to just ONE thing where you saw the most growth & progress. Today, we get pulled in every direction

very genuine question here: have any of you gotten a cold inbound message offering outbound sales services and actually used them? Do they work? I probably get 15 emails a day about this and i've never responded to one, but maybe I'm the exception.

what they don’t want you to know is that if you just keep on chugging along, genuinely doing your best and looking outside of yourself for ways to help others, there is NO WAY you won’t have a fulfilling life

How long do you guys think it would take me to get a neck as thick as my uncle? (He was a linebacker on the 49ers for 7 seasons)

everyone should be MUCH more careful with what content they allow into their brain. I’ve been much more conscious of this for the last 2 weeks and I can’t even begin to explain the difference it’s made across every facet of my life

Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing investor money drop into our account.. but it’s 10x more satisfying to see money from paying customers customers get deposited 🥹

it is pretty crazy to me to see the sales strategies of SF based tech cos. Some do it very well. Some do it in such a predatory way I have no idea how they stay in business

@aryavibecoding force yourself to work on an idea for long enough such that you dig in deep and learn something interesting/unexpected, otherwise you will keep pivoting and likely only learn shallow things

literally all it takes to be a breakout success: just don't stop. don't die. timing matters less when your time horizon is unlimited.
