This is the vibe we need for mass adoption.

"A big whiteboard on every desk and in every home." - Bill Gates, 1975

Feels like the RWA wave is gathering momentum. Gradually, then suddenly.

Startup teams that put points on the board while figuring out the game never fail to impress me. Learn by doing. Make a mistake, learn, and move on. Progress over perfection. Winning while training.

"The adult in the room"

If you can't build it with a 2-pizza team, break it up. Big goals, small steps.

Unpopular opinion: In crypto, too much money is spent chasing small, quick gains. Focus on ethical teams that build for the long term. Big money is built slowly with stamina.

You love hating on meetings but also wonder why decisions take so long. Its because a 10min call is not the popular thing to do, but its way more effective ping-ponging emails back and forth for two weeks.

Whoever built the Notion dictation AI deserves a raise. Tried it by accident and it absolutely slaps. Picked up names, abbreviations, and technical terms while walking on a busy street. 10/10 recommend

It’s lonely at the top, but it shouldn’t be. As a founder, surround yourself with some peers or trusted advisors you can lean on. Best decision you’ll make for both you and your business.

“It’s all token!”

Before it gets out somewhere else, this is an email I sent yesterday morning to my team. It applies equally to the freelance community

I have mad respect for founders and teams that turn chaos into opportunity. That own their shit. Share the facts, put their head down and ship their way out of issues. The number one predictor for unicorns? Grit. And it doesn’t get more gritty than this. IYKYK

Peak male performance: dude next to me on a 7hr flight has probably had a dozen beers by now, but still looks fresher than most of the cabin. Thats what decades training looks like.

Louder for the people in the back

Running one atm - can confirm. The energy of people making rapid progress together is contagious.

Can confirm. Without tools like these I’d be looking at hiring 2-3 juniors yesterday.
