’s growth to $1M ARR in 6 months from launching in YC highlights how much easier it is for founders to consolidate their entire back office under one roof with concierge support, instead of worrying about admin work.

Society tries to gaslight you into believing there is one path to success, e.g.
- Rising the ranks in IB or consulting
- Being a founder vs an employee
- Starting a VC-backed high growth startup vs a cash flow business
In reality, success is different for each person.

Something likely obvious I learned about friendship as I’ve grown older: put effort into friends who put effort back.

This is the magic of co-living houses 🪄
Adult friendships are shallow because they’re so oriented around short lunches and coffee chats. If you really want to get close to somebody, you need to spend multiple days with them at a time. Travel together. Crash at their place. Block off your calendar for the ones you love.

Before coming to the Valley, I thought it was all about building the best product.
Now, I realize it’s 99% marketing.
People use heuristics bc they don’t have time or ability to due diligence themselves.

100% agreed. It’s frustrating when folks only want to medicate away their depression and anxiety rather than address their underlying root. Of course, chemical imbalances are real and SSRIs are helpful but that’s often not the whole story nor the whole solution.
Mental health issues: depression, anxiety, insomnia. These are not just chemical imbalances. It’s your unlived potential nudging you to be the person you know you can be. It’s your dreams giving one last knock like “hey remember when we wanted to be a writer and travel the world?

I’ve noticed this too - VCs will say “we invest in startups digitizing the real economy” and then highlight Brex and Substack as their best investments.
Essentially, I think this means most investment theses are just marketing to LPs when in reality, VCs simply back the best
