If only I could retweet something 10x over
Underrated skill: taking young people seriously.
Treating them w/ similar respect others will give them in a few years--or not immediately discounting them because of their age.
Later on, they’ll remember who treated them well & who saw something in them before others did.

A beautiful place my family and I call home has been in a constant state of torment. My own experience was in 2014, spending my last 2 weeks in bomb shelters. The misinformation and comments from those who feel they must take a side makes it all the more heartbreaking.
My family just sent me this from Israel:
Boys are at home but are scared. Unfortunately I cant tell you things are ok. We are under a terrifying massacre.
We have so many direct or indirect people we know either killed or kidnapped to Gaza. The brother-in-law of my admin…

Over the past year and a half, I've had the privilege of growing as both an investor and founder at Greylock. I'm grateful for the wealth of experiences I gained and relationships I cultivated. One specific lesson is that it takes a network to build legendary companies.

People often correlate being creative with being able to come up with ideas. I’d argue it’s also about being results-driven, putting as much fuel to the fire as you can to land ideas and look back on creations as a series of personal milestones.

Wrote a bit abt the TV & ads biz from my time at YouTube this past year. TLDR; YT is a sales machine, and although COVID made it 10x harder to do what all PMs need to do—test your product—lucky to have experienced the whirlwind that is the content biz.

The best products are those that emulate human nature rather than try to change it. Developing a functional product that resonates with users requires a design-first approach to innovation, and that it must be rooted in the understanding of how people work, think, & take action
