@larryvc Good insight Larry.

I’ve come to appreciate over time that social skill and relational skill are different things. It’s common in my industry to find people who are socially strong but relationally weaker. You will also find less commonly people who are relationally strong but socially weaker. Social competence seems to index more on speaking skills and comfort with group dynamics, but relational competence indexes more on asking good questions, listening, empathy, and depth coupled with comfort with one-on-one interactions. They can be quite different skill sets. The most common misperception I see in this industry is people who are socially strong and relationally weaker conflating the two and not realizing their own relational weakness. On the flip side, people who are relationally strong but socially weaker often don’t fully appreciate their own relational strength because social skill can be a more viscerally observable and valued trait.

@Taylor_Ketron It gets better from here

I just had to increase my default font size on Outlook…

@HamlinIsland Our family has been and will continue praying for you.

Putting love into the world comes back 3xs as much… thankful for everyone who has reached out and prayed. This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me! 🫶🏾3️⃣

I can’t remember a more profound, startling, and meaningful talk than this message from my friend Tim Mackie during the @247PrayerUSA gathering a few days ago. I wish I had adequate words to encourage watching/listening to it. youtu.be/HQlH-WfmZms

@Broncos @LewisHamilton Guess I'm a Broncos fan now!

@richvillodas Thanks for unpacking this with our YV Community today.

To say that God is our refuge & fortress (Psalm 91) does not mean that we won’t be touched by the challenges and pains of life. It’s to say that we have access to a power that can fortify us against the persistent attacks of hopelessness & fear that come from a broken world.

@TimTebow @YouVersion Thanks so much for your partnership. And still for that 2012 playoff win vs the Steelers. 👊

So excited to come along my friends at @YouVersion to bring this 5-day Mission Possible Reading Plan to y’all! Check it out, and I hope it inspires and encourages you: bible.com/reading-plans/…

@tobywankanobi21 Welcome

Is it just me or is Syracuse the most obnoxious team? They mimic their whine bag coach (especially his sons). I am actually rooting for Duke! Never happened before

@cnieuwhof Really great thoughts Carey

It’s way too easy for your platform to outgrow your character. And that’s where all the danger lies. #leadership bit.ly/3JpyAi6

@larryvc The book was great. The second book, not so much.

At the recommendation of one of my colleagues, watched Ready Player One on a flight last night to better imagine the metaverse. I wonder if it will be Jetsons-like in its predictiveness. Worth watching - fascinating Spielberg movie.
