Its wild going from doing freelance work for free for a few months to then being able to explicilty state red lines on numbers ending with 4 zeros. A far less courageous me from 5 years ago when i started this was right. Always back yourself.

This is the type of structure I would have loved to sink my teeth into. Sensational.

The most hilarious part about this passage of complete guff, is that the most successful “city folk” I know all read zerohedge and X. FT is a shell of its former self - sadly.

A founder who i have worked very closely with for 3 years has essentially automated everything in the business. There will be moments it breaks, but i suspect it will bring his Net Margin up by at least 5-10%. no exaggerating.

I predict luxury markets to go even more insane if this takes off. 270 days is a very long time to be able to spend in Aspen, Big Bear, Miami, New England, and of course New York. K shaped economy.

Why having a neighbourhood friendly finance bro is pretty important. Glad it worked out for you Davie Fogarty

My best indicator for performance in a hire is "agency". Thats why i always tell prospective students to take the initiative - put yourself in the other persons shoes - what would you want to see from an employee?~ Probably why understanding people is the most important trait.

We killed a deal at the finish line over a price chip - and I’d do it again. We were selling an office-to-residential conversion. The price was already fair. The buyer was notorious for chipping, so we set the boundary upfront and wrote in size 35 font on the HoT: “Do not

UBS 'buying' MSTR is like saying your broker is long Tesla because you are noise

Wait til you find out who his seed funders were...

When the Epstein thing first came out I was so amazed that seemingly rational people couldn’t apply a morsel of sense by just asking the simple question: “Who were his financial counterparties? If he was a big boy ‘financier’, he must have had some…”

Every founder raising capital makes the same mistake. They pitch before they research. That's like turning up to a black-tie dinner in gym shorts and asking why no one will take you seriously. A founder once asked me if my PE firm would invest in his company. It wouldn't. And

Reminds me of when Niklas Backstrom, a Swedish UFC fighter, won $50gs baby in a fight of the night. He was asked by journos “so what Rolex you going to go and buy?” “Buddy, I take the bus to work, i have my priorities straight.”

In UK divide each of these by 10
