I got my second (!!) Creative Consultant credit on Netflix yesterday with the release of Hasan Minhaj's third comedy special, Off With His Head. Working with Hasan and the 186K team has been a highlight of my career. I've made some of my best friends, memories, and experiences

My best technology purchase of the year has easily been the Comma 3X (@comma_ai.) * $999 * Adds basic self-driving to your vehicle * Installed in an hour * No subscriptions I'm **shocked** at how good it's been. It feels like magic to be able to install a form of self-driving

I'm only a quarter of the way through this episode, but Brad Jacobs is an interesting counter-example to the idea that therapy kills entrepreneurial drive. I feel like the story is often: “If I fix my head, I lose my edge.” I think he’s evidence that the opposite can be true.

I’ve been hooked on @davidsenra's Founders podcast for years. He takes the biographies of history’s best builders and distills them into lessons you can actually use. It’s the kind of thing you can listen to five times and still pick up something new. So when my good friend and

This will be one of the biggest podcasts in the world Faster than anyone expects It's fascinating how many people- even non-founders- listen to Founders. Obsession is universal. Humans want to create things. David is the best documentarian of that- obsession and creation.

I'm in Japan for the week and the train system is just like people say — super fast + clean. But the advertising on train feels the most different from the NYC subway system. * NYC subways: ambulance-chasing lawyers (a la Benny the Bull) * Japan’s trains: noodle shops and cafés

The new Posthog website has absolutely blown my mind. Not even sure how I feel about it, but I am in awe that a company of that scale and size is doing a rebrand like that — and I think that in itself should be applauded. It is a perfect representation of "skin in the game."
