The Power Broker by Robert Caro. Worth the effort?. Wanna read it - but will take months. Who's read it? Worth it?.

Dylan Field made ~$6b the other day when Figma IPO-ed. Assuming that grows at the 50 year sp500 average (10.7%), at 100 he has $5.45 trillion. Getting liquidity when young is insane.

Recently learned about this. Crazy how many NYC 20-40 year olds use family money. Vice Media used to call these kids "trustaferians.". Shane Smith, the founder, used to call his office "a sweatshop for trustafarians.". Crazy culture.

If I we’re 20 years old in 1945 there’s a chance I’d have 4 confirmed kills in the Pacific Theater. Each generation carries a burden. But man we do have it good today compared others.

Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.”. No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $2,200 for rent and $7 for eggs. You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

A debate we’re having: Do guest episodes on Moneywise need to have video?. For sure I think if in person. But for remote im not convinced. We’ve done video for all guest episodes over the last 6 months. The new deep dive videos we’ve been testing continue to crush. They’re 10x.

Someone in my company just asked a good question:. Does anyone have good recommendations for how to get better at managing up? Could be a book, a course, visual, article, anything. I'm all ears!. Anything good?.

Building a company remotely is sorta like working out with a bunch of big baggy clothes on. Yeah the results can be great. But its pretty awesome to see the progress.

These guys interest me so much. The company is like 6 years old, joined a cut throat industry, and has destroy the competition. Now they’re worth $20 billion. What a case study.

Today, @tryramp raised $500M at a $22.5B valuation. Finance is at an inflection point. How does an industry change? . Gradually, then suddenly. Decades where nothing happens; months where decades happen. Now, we’re teaching software to think like people. Exciting times

I wanna up my team's Zoom game. I was thinking of getting a DSLR installed in each conference room and you could plug in when you called someone. But now I think just getting an iPhone in each room might be better. iPhone on a tripod, you plug in when you call, use Camo as.

Crazy story this week on Moneywise. Guest literally died and came back to life. Amber Lee died behind the wheel on May 10th 2020. It was mothers day. Went into Cardiac arrest. No pulse. Crashed into a brick house. Her husband pulled her out of the smoking car. A nurse walking
