Extreme ownership applied to communication:
If they didn’t understand you, you failed. Not them. Period.
Your goal is not to speak so clearly that they understand — Rather, it is to speak so clearly they *cannot misunderstand*

Airbnb is an inspiration. One of the truly magical startups that makes Silicon Valley special.
Just think of all the value they’ve unlocked for travelers and hosts. Blows me away. More human connection, more memories, more income. Miracle of capitalism.

For me, it’s
@stripe

-best CEO in all of SV possibly

-best website
-best mission statement
-best office space

My top work learnings in 2019, forever cemented:
-you always end up shipping your org chart. Design accordingly.
-right people + right structure = right results. Isolate & fix.
-Always start with intended outcomes and work backwards. Of meetings. Of convos. Of decisions.

“We want to hire someone who’s done it before”
Ok. But at one point that person had never done it before. Yet someone took a bet on them.
So what you’re saying is you can’t spot talent.

Only after working at a startup do you realize how clearly success just depend on the right people. The same idea, timing, etc will fail 99/100 times, but if you get the right people, it works.
These things are willed int existence by the right people.

Difficult truth: water finds its own level.

If high school’s goal was to prepare students for life, it would teach:
1) how to persuade over “English”
2) how to think probabilistically over “calculus”
3) how to save + invest over “algebra”
4) how to write software over “computers”
5) how to stay healthy over “PE”

Looking back on my Dad’s parenting philosophy, 2 things are clear. He:
1) allowed me to make basically all decisions I could, as early as possible, then
2) allowed me to bear the consequences of my choice, both good and bad.
