activation / m1 retention up consistently. shape of curve flat and even SMILING showing very strong reactivation across all old cohorts. I assume the size of each cohort has grown over time as well - showing huge improvements in retention against hypergrowth is very rare.

Never seen anything like this. Truly incredible stuff.
ChatGPT's product retention curves is a product manager's wet dream. Their 1 month retention has skyrocketed from <60% 2yrs ago to an unprecedented ~90%! Youtube was best-in-class with ~85%. 6mo retention is trending to ~80%. Rapidly rising smile curve. Generational product.

Wake up honey, a new CEO AI Memo dropped.
Before it gets out somewhere else, this is an email I sent yesterday morning to my team. It applies equally to the freelance community

Oh Berkeley. How about a sticker that says "Does this sticker properly signal my virtue?"

If you’re looking for me I’ll be in front of my TV until Sunday night clenching my teeth and typing feverishly into all the golf slacks and group chats I can find.

This may be the most boomer thing I've ever said, but upside down logo hats are a travesty and we should bully everyone who wears one so they disappear forever.

Imagine burning your reputation for $6k / month acting as a spy. Imagine burning your reputation and your company hiring a spy just to get basic competitive intelligence. Stupid decisions all around.
Deel CEO and company founder @Bouazizalex personally orchestrated his company’s alleged spy scheme, the spy said in a full confession. Alex allegedly recruited the spy, received the stolen info, and arranged payment via a person known only by their pseudonym: “The Watchman”

This is across from both city hall and a police station. Imagine you're considering Berkeley as a place to raise a family and visit the city center. why would you move here? . The rights of normal, everyday people matter too, we need to start prioritizing them.

The homeless encampment across from BHS is both a danger to students and a terrible message sent to the residents of our city: that we don't want our kids to have a safe, clean, and positive environment to live and learn in.

This atmospheric river and holiday are gearing up to make this the messiest weekend on the I-80 in a while. With many schools closed Friday, I suspect lots of people without 4x4 or chains going to head up Thursday night and make a mess of things.

Signature event at the world’s most famous golf course in brutal conditions and there’s a commercial break every 2 minutes, bad audio, no tracers. It’s like they don’t want us to watch.

A very helpful thread on the issues facing the CA insurance market and the solvency of the insurer of last resort (FAIR). We were recently dropped from wildfire coverage on our home in Berkeley and will be forced onto FAIR, who may not even be able to pay out if something.
Guys. We — as in Californian voters who voted in 1988 — voted for a system where every time an insurance company wants to raise rates for automobiles or homes, they have to have a public hearing and an elected insurance commissioner has to approve that rate increase.

This is great advice. Most of the intensely busy and burned out people you meet are doing things 3-100. You can be more effective by just doing a few things very very well.

The current state of social media is so sad. It used to be fun, but now, all of them are boring. Twitter is all politics. Facebook is just boring. Instagram is all creators / reels vs. friends and real people. Make the internet fun again.

Working with technical founders at the early stages, one of the biggest mysteries for them (and me!) is how to plan / hire / and model out sales once founder-led sales no longer scales. @nakul has open-sourced a great financial model to help founders with this problem.
New blog post: Got to $500K ARR. What next?. For years, I’ve been sharing an excel template with portfolio founders when they start transitioning from founder led sales to a sales rep driven sales engine. Open sourcing this operating model today for.
