This isn’t a cold email. This is a guy who doesn’t speak very good English traveling to an event, getting in line, braving all of the embarrassment that comes with public rejection or laughter on the Internet, taking himself seriously, and asking for the chance to prove himself

British voters will probably similarly tolerate careless public comments by Kemi Badenoch if she embodies a cultural shift back to celebrating great (not perfect!) men & women who take risks & create things that benefit our families, friends & neighbours

This is a fantastic thread. I don’t know anything about baseball, but I know loads of successful people prone to “yips” (fear-based performance anxiety) in different areas 🧡

German designer Erik Spiekermann goes on an incredible rant on why he hates the Helvetica font: ▫️"Real typefaces need rhythm and contrast...Helvetica hasn't got any of that." ▫️"[Typefaces are like people]. If you're slightly heavy in the middle, you're not going to walk

We're at the start of a new private equity X venture capital supercyle: Whether it’s PE funds buying venture backed companies, venture funds launching PE strategies, or startups using PE-like approaches to buy their customers, something big is going on. There's four separate

Being lectured on business by career politicians is like taking lessons on love-making from your 12yr old nephew🤦‍♂️. Don’t mistake enthusiasm for experience, folks.

Madison Keys after winning her first major: “I’ve done a lot of work to no longer need this. I really wanted it but it was no longer the thing that was going to define me. Letting go of that burden finally gave me the ability to actually play for it.”

Super AI will be crazy powerful in knowledge work and *should* eliminate the need for all professionals. But, my lawyer-hating pro full automation friends, the limiting factor is likely to be you - the client & your unwillingness to steer, prompt & check thoroughly - not the tech

“You’re getting paid for headaches and risks” - so true. Scary when people with no appetite for either risk family & wellbeing by buying small businesses.

Love this on Rory’s Masters success by Kyle Porter here: “What it must be like when your dream and your nightmare happen to overlap, and you fulfill one while conquering the other at the exact same time.”

What a legend. I know it’s silly, but i tend to get more nervous teeing off at a modestly posh golf club than i do in any business context. This is his most impressive and courageous endeavour to me. Total badass.

i just paid a £35, camera-issued automatic fine because i momentarily drove in the wrong lane whilst trying to navigate an unfamiliar city at night, in the rain 🤣 #anarchotyranny 🇬🇧

i endorse this tweet - generous benefits for the genuinely disabled, everyone else unable/unwilling to sustain employment should have to physically clock in/out & maintain public spaces etc. My guess is most tax payers would *happily* cover scheme setup costs in short term.

What a brave man - Peter Ettedgui. “I do not want the school bully to become my Prime Minister”. I’m no comms expert, but “i’m horrified to be reminded of saying such hateful things as a boy - i was insecure and silly. im deeply sorry Peter” is what i would have liked in reply
