Goodbye Rome. See you next time. Beautiful city.

Launched a Substack - weinanas.substack.com Read about how I started several successful companies, how I lost 40 pounds in a short period of time, about grief and loss, about bad business partners, about good business partners, etc

A month in Rome does good things for the mind and soul. Thank you Rome for an amazing time. Such a beautiful city. #blessed #rome

@Suryanshti777 Oh this is super helpful

The biggest AI skill of 2026 isn't prompt engineering. It's AI literacy. Because the people getting ahead aren't the ones with better prompts. They're the ones who understand what's happening under the hood. Harvard just made 5 AI courses free: → Introduction to Generative AI lnkd.in/ec_UGKms → Prompt Engineering lnkd.in/ew2cnVyc → System Prompts & RAG lnkd.in/enjxCDiH → Basics of Generative AI lnkd.in/egGkc2BE → CS50's AI with Python lnkd.in/e-uRa4ea Most people won't take these. That's exactly why they're valuable. Bookmark it

@codegraph I don’t believe this at all

A recruiter cold called me (!) to tell me I wasn't a fit because I didn't go to Harvard. Why?

Most beautiful sight ever #rome

You’ll meet plenty of terrible people in life. When you find a genuinely good one, hold on tight. They’re rare.

The friend who changed my life almost didn’t talk to me. I met him at Harvard after asking a truly dumb question. He looked at me like, “You seriously don’t know that?” Somehow we became close. For years, we talked every week. He never told me what to do—he just asked the right

questions until I found the answer myself. When I was at my lowest, he never judged me. He lifted me up. Even later, working 100-hour weeks at a brutal consulting firm, he still made time to help.

I met my first business partner online. We never met each other until we signed the contract to sell the company at 16 years old. It was a podcasting company. We grew it by approaching all the top podcasters and giving them a deal they couldn’t refuse. Once we were attacked and…

Bought our company a few days later. I never gave up even though I was take 6-7 AP classes that year and fighting to be valedictorian.

lost all the user files. I sent an email copying the CEO who would buy my company to all users explaining what happened and what we would do to prevent it in the future. In a week, almost all users came back - they trusted us. And the CRO from the public company bought out …

And not only that the company paid for them. He treated me with respect and empowered me to do my best work. In less than a year, I did such a great job that he promoted me. And most importantly he left work at 5 and expected everyone else to do so too.

The best boss I ever had was a mountain biker. When I first met him he mentioned his hobby. On our second meeting, I brought it up and he was surprised - I listened and paid attention. I got the job at a top company. He was an amazing boss because he listened. More below

He never let feedback from others change his decisions - he observed himself. He shielded me from office politics. He gave me projects he knew I could do but still challenged me. He went high when many people went low. And he encouraged me to take communication classes.

This year, I lost 40 pounds. Here’s what worked: After mentioning my weight, a tourist guide in Greece told me to do something I love to lose weight. I started doing exercises that I enjoyed. Cancelled my gym membership because I never went. More below

I also read the book Atomic Habits reach really helped. I started small - 20 minutes of walking each day and made bad habits hard to do.

I started biking, walking, and hiking because I enjoyed those and replaced all the bad foods with healthy low calorie foods that I enjoyed. Yay branzinos! More below
