all you can do is your best and at end of the day, let the chips fall where they may, go home and rest and accept you did everything you could
As a founder you honestly just have to learn to love the fight. To embrace conflict and come back again and again. You will get punched in the face and you need to change to say, more, is that all you got and then attack again.
There will always be an annoying gap between how you want the world to be and how it actually is. Learning when to stand your ground and when to be flexible is one of the most important skills a founder can learn.
Proud to be an alum! 🚀

I want strangers to talk to each other again. On Walk #91 today, a group of 3 women with polar opposite political views walked the entire 5 miles together… with open minds and hearts, understanding the “why” behind their views, and arrived at the same core. Conversations HEAL.

Happy bitcoin halving day!! For the first time in history, humans have a form of money whose supply increases by less than 1% per year. This is a big deal because the hardness of our money is a control knob for our time preference: the degree to which we discount the future.…

I agree with this advice. Any time in my career I felt I wasn’t given the respect or pay my contributions had earned I thought about how that affected my children. Problem solved, that anger drove my ambition forward. If people tell you get the chip off your shoulder ignore that

“Just let it go” is often the worst advice you can get in business. I want to work with people who care about what’s right and who care about what’s true. Serious people don’t ever “let it go.” They hold grudges. They don’t forget. And they keep pushing for people to know the…

@paulg Biggest misconception in economics. Any quantity of money is enough for any economy as money's purchasing power can rise to meet all demand, without its quantity rising. A growing economy needs a growing money supply as much as a growing child needs a growing inch.

My dad is trying ChatGPT for the first time tonight in Spanish. He's using it to write a sermon tomorrow for church and it's fascinating how he is using it as a teaching tool.
Tomorrow is the beginning of Season 5 of S³ New camera system, drastically more cinematic photography, and all future episodes will be shot in 4K. As a result, Episode 41 is easily the best yet... It was also shot in a chip fab.
Sometimes, you have to blow up everything you've been working on to serve the big vision. Today's episode is, different: - No intro or outro - Moments of pause - New format, more story S³ Episode 40, or Chapter II for a company we've already featured, out soon.
Founders generally sell about 20% at seed, whether on SAFEs or through priced equity.
Spoke to a "venture group" in Nashville recently. I asked them what their ownership targets were and they told me 40% at seed. This is why the Tier 3 cities for building startups will never be taken seriously

“Be yourself” feels like incomplete advice. I shifted something big when I finished the sentence: “Be yourself and embrace that living in your truest energy will repel some and magnetize others.” Your energy is art, you are the artist, and everyone has different taste.

@emerywells It feels like it should be really domain-specific. Most people don't get to work on every type of product that exists. If I'm hiring someone to work on a B2B supply chain app do I really care if they've installed a bunch of GPT wrappers, a "Kindle highlight organiser" or a zombie…
@emerywells I'm very comfortable that I'm a "genuine product person" but I tend to care more about the products I'm working on (and the people those products are for) rather than spending my valuable time looking at loads of random apps. I want PMs to talk to customers, not each other.
