@BenjaminPutano Glad it resonated, Ben! What you're describing is the curse of knowledge - the more you know, the more you forget what it was like not to know. 😅 Share those lessons!

Most CEOs and founders have wisdom that’s been in the wings so long they’ve forgotten it belongs on stage. Frameworks they’ve spent years developing. Hard-won lessons that could save others years of pain. Points of view their industry has never quite articulated. Oddly enough, riches-to-rags sitcom Schitt’s Creek makes the case for what to do about it. Sharing isn’t just goodwill. It’s how you compress your sales cycle.

Some of our best hires were totally unqualified on paper. They always had the same qualities: entrepreneurial, high agency, smart, mission aligned, and they got shit done. If you’re hiring, especially in early stages, seek out & bet on these people. Don’t over-index on resumes.

Been thinking a lot about this post I wrote in 2023 and how the problem hasn’t changed—the culprit has. AI is the equivalent of a rookie editor unless prompted otherwise. Here’s the counterintuitive reason why: alexandraallen.substack.com/p/why-most-wri…

“Now teaching matters again, because the tools are insane but the mind behind them still has to be trained.” This is one of things I’m most excited about Teaching amplifies our own understanding by making thinking visible

We just went from horse-and-carriage to car. The old manuals still have truth in them, but the whole map of effort, speed, and leverage changed overnight. Building used to mean holding an entire system in your head. A fragile memory palace. A house of cards in biological primate

The new Love Story series making a whole new generation fall in love with JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s timeless style

JFK Jr. basically invented the New York It boy archetype before the term existed. That blend of legacy polish and downtown nonchalance set the template: understated confidence, lived-in basics, quiet luxury before it had a name. Everyone chasing the "effortless" look since has

Always ask, but never expect. Always ask for what you want. Many people are happy to help—if the request is direct and specific. In a surprising number of cases, something remarkable is possible if you have the courage to ask. Never expect people to say yes. Everyone is busy and balancing multiple priorities. Your request is not their responsibility. When you're told no, move on lightly and freely. The world is full of opportunity.

"First rule in life: If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it." True in your work, income, career, and even your personal life. Secretly wanting things & doing nothing, leads to regret. Today: 1. Acknowledge what you want 2. Actually Go After it.
