It takes courage to have adult conversations, and many of us were never shown how to have them.
Without explicit modeling or instruction we default to the path of least resistance.

Product makes sure the right thing is built. Engineering makes sure the thing is built right. Design makes sure the thing looks and feels right.

IMO that’s irrelevant.
Vision Pro launching in 2023 is the equivalent of the Mac launching in 1984.
It’s ground breaking tech that wasn’t ready for mass market adoption at launch but eventually impacted the daily lives of billions.

Lol, I understand cashflow. I also understand that personal finance is personal. To each their own. I save and invest every month while also enjoying living by myself. Money has no intrinsic value; the point is to exchange it for something that does

I get your point but that’s a totally fair question. You can still be financially responsible and have your own spot; especially if you’re doing $50k/mo. The two aren’t mutually exclusive

The GRE is for applying to grad school.
Most CS, EE, SWE majors don't take the GRE as they can get great jobs without going to grad school.
In other words, many of the smartest aren't taking that test, and aren't included in that data set.
Misleading conclusion.

If you have:
- energy / work ethic
- a sense of urgency
- communication skills
- ability to lead / delegate
But don’t put yourself in an ownership position you will not get rich.
Lots of folks have the things above but lack the courage to be wealthy.

Facts:
- VC industry at large is a rigged game; one might even call it a scam
- (the vast majority of) Founders and employees hold common stock while VCs hold preferred equity
- Sanity metrics are closely held and guarded while vanity metrics are promoted and broadcasted

Not a complete waste. The patent portfolio + tech + ecosystem gives them a big advantage in the future if they launch a product to directly compete with Meta Raybans.

Thats how James Randel got into the biz. He’s the author of Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur. It’s one of my favorite real estate autobiographies. He got his JD from Columbia, was working as an attorney and saw his clients crushing it.

Any debt that pays for itself is good debt.
The debt “paying for itself” is where the borrower must have sufficient financial IQ and access to investment products.
Example: in 2021 I took out a $100K loan at 4%, to invest in a deal that pays 18%.
Great use of debt.

At Netflix we used
Green (no improvement needed)
Yellow (ok , but needs some attention)
Red (broken, must be fixed)
This was very helpful for assessing the status of different internal systems, and can also be applied to other areas like relationships, etc

When you realize time is finite and money is infinite, completely made up, has zero intrinsic value, and it’s sole utility comes from the ability to trade it for actual things of value.

When it comes maintenance, repairs and expenses? Renting.
When it comes to equity build up, and paid-off mortgages? Owning.
In the long term, you can’t beat buying a good property on a nice piece of land in a neighborhood you enjoy living in.
Owning FTW

The product management skillset can be much more valuable outside of a formal product management role. Entrepreneurial PMs quickly realize this and turn themselves into the product.

It’s not just conducive to improving your health, it’s also a great place to organically meet other high quality people.

In terms of legislation, I think it would look pretty much the same.

They won’t call a state of emergency because it is viewed as an acknowledgement of incompetence and will hurt their political careers.

I've spent so much time around engineers and analytical types that I've become too reliant on using logic and evidence to make my arguments. Gotta learn to use emotion to appeal to other types. Not everyone places the same value on facts and evidence. Can't be one dimensional!

I absolutely crushed "Massive Action March"
- no alcohol
- lost 11.6 pounds
- had two really big convos I'd been putting off
LFG! 🔥🔥🔥
I've found that giving months a particular theme has helped me make more progress towards my yearly goals.
Example: today is the first day of "Massive Action March"!
What's your theme for the month?

Unfortunately, no we all haven’t had that one manager. That’s even more reason for those of us who have been fortunate to have that experience to model it for others. Great managers are rare.
