On the AI track -- my son James (who works in AI visualization for architecture and interior design) -- made this fun vid bringing the meme to life. (give him a follow) I cannot wait to expand AI vid like this to full show-level storytelling.

Pay for bad advice, get ass covering insurance. "It wasn't my fault...." -- C level meeting loving execs in large companies will pay nearly infinitely for insurance policies with that coverage.

play long games with great people.... Works every time. Except when the people or game change -- so keep an eye out ! but still that's the ideal.

Having a great editor is more important than having great ideas. When a decision owner has only sycophants things go south quickly. Make sure you have an org where the lead can not only be questioned, but can be called out as, well, ridiculous. Watching the opposite is bad.

4th grade, 1970's politics rules these days -- promise free chocolate milk from the drinking fountains and you win the class election. Except now it's "government owned grocery stores" that defy market pricing (labor and COGs), and 'class' does not mean your grade.

I've seen a lot of homes with a traditional facade that belies what is in store for a welcomed guest, but this truly stands out. Incredibly well done 👏 Amazing Old Town neighborhood home indeed.

Ok... well. There you have it. Marxism fails *every time*. If you study it (I have) it sounds appealing. Idealism always does. It does not work. NYC -- this is an impending disaster.

If this isn't the dumbest, most absurd thing I've seen in the hospitality industry I don't know what is.... and I've seen a lot of crazy shit. sf.eater.com/closings/20453… Why would the place close over something like that? Assuming they poured $ and effort into opening.

the evergreen tweet from Phil.... man we could have bet an over / under or a parlay at this point. It's really going to sting when Scottie wins the US Open.

A real pleasure to co-host my favorite podcast (and one that changed my life, literally), the Tim Ferriss Show.... and bring on one of my favorite thinkers and friend, Prof. Richard Thaler. Thanks to you both... Please have a listen.

I had a wonderful Fall rota of golf that brought me, in many ways, back to loving the game and the people in it: SFGC Mayacama Winged Foot Pikewood National Conway Farms Alotian Club All in a few weeks. So many good memories with great (and some new) friends. Golf is the best.
