So I have just got my Eight Sleep. @zebulgar @JoePompliano @m_franceschetti biggest tips to get the most out of it?

Maybe he didn’t think, “I’m going to the moon.” Maybe he just felt, in that moment, that his dream was possible. The power of the fortune cookie.

@FoundersPodcast You add so much value to my life. Thank you 🙏 Worth reading whole book @davidsenra ?

I read this book on history’s greatest family dynasties. My top 10 highlights: 1. A man always has two reasons for the things he does; a good one and the real one. — J.P. Morgan 2. It is impossible to create an innovative product unless you do it yourself, pay attention to every detail, and then test it exhaustively. Never entrust the creation of a product to others, for that will inevitably lead to failure and cause you deep regret. —Sakichi Toyada 3. You should make an effort to make something that will benefit society. 4. Rockefeller's clincher was to offer the victim a look at the books of Standard. A potential seller was dumbfounded to learn that Standard was able to sell at less than his own cost of production. Rockefeller could kill him whenever he pleased. 5. Good was never good enough. The company's slogan was kaizen: continuous improvement. 6. For many great businessmen l'appétit vient en mangeant (“Appetite comes with eating.”) 7. Rational, thoughtful, systematic, committed, and diligent, he also cultivated an intense curiosity, a spirit of calculation, and an attention to opportunity. His competitors were amateurs by comparison. He saw them for what they were. (Rockefeller) 8. Failure will kill the business. But so will success. 9. [Nathan Rothschild's extreme levels of self belief] When his prospective father-in-law asked for proof of his prospects, Nathan told him that if he was concerned about having his daughters provided for, he might just as well give them all to Nathan —and be done with it. 10. That was the way J.P. Morgan made moves: the ground was already prepared.

I often re-read @natfriedman's personal website (former Github CEO)

@m_franceschetti IYKYK…only when you get bloodied and battered do you become numb to the punches 🥊 @m_franceschetti

Fortune cookies are one of the only things people open hoping a random piece of paper will somehow understand their life. 🥠

Nvidia CEO: Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character. Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.

Never. But why is there still even check-in?

@bydylanjohnson Cheers 🍷

Villanova coach Kevin Willard on getting his young players to improve: “It's like when you open up a bottle of wine. If you open up a bottle of wine that was just bottled, it sucks, but if you wait three years, you let it age and you let it mature, it's usually really, really good, and that's what I'm about ready to go do right now.”

@drgurner Profound. Would love to chat deeper on this @drgurner

So many times, your "identity" is based on false stories you tell yourself...and you've got to change that story. It's like people who tell you "Well, I'm a smoker." They keep telling themselves that, and never quit. Tell yourself stories that you can line up to & be proud of.

@FoundersPodcast Life-changing book. Period.

This book was awesome. Highly recommend buying it:

@lennysan So good 🥊

Pain is the new moat "Anybody who wants to build something these days, the information is at your fingertips more than it's ever been. You can learn anything overnight. So going through the pain of learning and understanding what works and what doesn't work, and going through this pain of developing multiple approaches, and then solving the problem—I feel that is going to be the real moat as an individual going forward." — @kiritibadam, OpenAI

@CoachDanGo Ok to eat Every. Single. Morning? @CoachDanGo

300g low fat Greek yogurt, one scoop protein powder, teaspoon of psyllium husk, and 100g of blueberries.

@garrytan It’s hard to explain the PAIN to someone who never felt the PAIN @garrytan 💪

Everytime I get mad at people in the cheap seats criticizing founders in the arena, I remind myself of what Giannis said. Arguably my favorite response to a reporter ever.

@drgurner @Liminal1988 Love this 💪 Where it is from?

Allow your life to be big. For those just starting out… a great message from @Liminal1988 Embody big spaces & big things before you get there.
