Our partner Lola wrote a beautiful piece on transitions and being in-between things. If you're "in the abyss," it deserves a read:

There's no way to rationally justify the expense of living in New York. I wouldn't even try to clip enough culture coupons to make living here worth it, because it will never be worth it. Just appreciate the extravagant privilege of existing in this weird, special place.
Firmly believe that the only way to justify living in NYC is to take full advantage of the city. If you live here, you should be going to standup shows and jazz clubs. Find new people every week to grab dinner with - almost anyone you could hope to meet passes through NYC at some.

Starting to think many great entrepreneurs pass through some Great Filter of their age: . - 1970s: direct mail.- 1990s: eBay .- 2000s: dropshipping, clickfunnels .- 2010s: Minecraft, sneaker flipping.- 2020s: Roblox, crypto. What's the defining teenage hustle of 2025?.

90% of my replies are AI generated and this is an unfixable problem. digital connection is going to be EV- soon (if not already) and will be the exclusive domain of bots engagement-farming each other. offboard your friends to IRL asap.

Men don't need therapy they need purpose.
Here's a hot take - the vast majority of men shouldn't go to therapy. First they should improve their life and standing in society: eating right, sleeping well, exercising, and working harder in their profession. Only after doing these should they do therapy if it's still needed.

Young entrepreneurs want the college experience: immersive community, fun, exposure to new types of people. But without the slow-paced faux-educational wrapper. I want to build this. DM me.
I saw a tik tok today that said:. "If your life was a movie and people were watching. What would the audience be screaming at you to do?". Very quickly I realize the answer is that I should completely not go to college, get an office, and move the team in house to go full hard.

Friend was just targeted by a Zoom phishing attack. Some reminders so you don't get robbed:. 1) Never, ever take a cold inbound interview request no matter who they claim to be (NYPost, Coinmarketcap, Bankless) -- sorry, journalists.

We're in a cultural war over agency. As the difficulty of doing things trends toward zero, people who elect not to do things will feel less and less capable and therefore resentful of those who do. Let's imagine the barrier to being productive is as low as pushing a button.
