@doriancollier Plus you're a great guy, a pleasure to work with, and stabilizing, positive presence on the team. It's not just what you do, it's who you are that has made these achievements and pivots possible. Chapeau!

Best advice I ever ignored: "Stay in your lane." I went from government housing to coding to startups to generative art to 3D-printed products. Every pivot felt risky. Every one opened doors. The lane is whatever you build it to be.

@BenBurch93 @igorsushko I was part of a small group that had the good fortune to hear this riveting story directly from Gen. Stafford. It was an incredible experience with @omegawatches to meet one of our greatest explorers.

Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov's notes about mankind's first-ever spacewalk on March 18, 1965 aboard Voskhod-2 "Russian cosmonautics – it’s a comedy of horrors. A cosmonaut, who for the first time in the history of mankind ventured into outer space, was unable to get back on board. He was floating on the end of a 5-meter cable above the planet, but when it was time to get back in - it turned out that the spacesuit swelled and did not fit through the airlock. In order to get in, he had to depressurize the spacesuit to 0.27 of Earth's pressure - such pressure corresponds to about 3 kilometers above Everest. Miraculously, he didn't lose consciousness. But then he couldn’t fit through the second airlock. He managed to get into it only by flagrantly violating the instructions - head first, not feet first. He then collapsed next to his comrade. After barely catching breath, the news came - the automated navigation system for returning back to Earth was broken. Again, for the first time in the history of mankind, the spaceship had to return to the planet manually. The one window on the new Voskhod-2 spaceship looked out to the side. Only the stars could be seen through this window. If you started the engine facing the wrong way, instead of returning, you would fly far away and stay there forever. The cosmonauts desperately crawled around the cabin, looked through the ill-fated porthole from different angles, made out from memory where the Big Dipper was and where the Earth should be, and finally started the engine. It probably sounds funny now, but again, for the first time in the history of mankind, they took their seats with the rocket engine running, the acceleration of which was about to turn them into pancakes. Where the spacecraft will take them remained a mystery. They don't remember much of the descent. They woke up, got out. There were snowdrifts up to their waists. It was cold: -30°C (-22°F). The spaceship had a lot of survival equipment - fishing hooks, shark repellent, a single TT pistol, and so on. But they didn't think about the cold. The cosmonauts took off their spacesuits, each poured out 5 liters of sweat, built a fire while naked, wrapped themselves thoroughly and waited, periodically clicking the morse code - 'S.O.S.' They didn't vary the message - what else was there to signal to the whole planet? We are Soviet cosmonauts, we are in the middle of nowhere, we are not well.... The signal was being blocked by trees. The cosmonauts guessed, moved through the snowdrifts. Eventually, the SOS signal was picked up in Bonn. The Germans immediately informed the Kremlin. Our people refused to believe the Germans. And at that time - the only thing the Mission Control Center knew about the missing cosmonauts was that they had landed somewhere in Russia. Hundreds of helicopters were in the air combing the area. At the same time, TV reported that the cosmonauts had landed safely and were resting in a sanatorium. The pause between this message and the appearance of the cosmonauts themselves on the screen was clearly dragging on. Brezhnev couldn't stand it any longer, so he called Korolev and asked what the hell was going on. Korolev angrily replied: 'My business is to launch cosmonauts, yours – to announce. You should hurry up, not me.' Finally, one of the helicopters detected a campfire and two unfortunate cosmonauts near it. But it was impossible to land there. A group of skiers went on foot to clear the path to the site with axes. And gifts rained from the sky - warm clothes and cases of cognac. All the clothes got stuck on the trees, and the cognac cases were shattering all around, the astronauts swore grimly as they dodged them.'

@Forbes Iconoclast Summit has been amazing, but for a lifelong @F1 fan having an opportunity to meet @MercedesAMGF1 principal Toto Wolff and watching this panel with @LewisHamilton is impossible to top!

@boazweinstein of Saba calls 5% t-bills beautiful. Victor Khosla of SVP says "buckle up" and expect 5 year long slog ahead. @Forbes

@Forbes Iconoclast Summit David Solomon interview: more consolidation coming to regional banks, in large part because of compliance...*felt* like it might be a precursor for @GoldmanSachs to acquire heavily. Will be interesting to watch.

@Forbes Iconoclast Summit Broness @dambisamoyo: bearish (and very entertaining) - multiples in US not interesting. Bruce Flatt CEO @Brookfield: perma bullish. Mary Callahan Erdos CEO @JPMorganAM: neither bullish nor bearish - always balanced...often the boring strategies win

Some thoughts on @eth_porsche #NFT sale. While it probably will be enjoyed by the small group of owners, do you agree it was a missed opportunity to cast a wide net more akin to advertising and start an earlier engagement with future customers? @Porsche linkedin.com/posts/davidkai…

@BaronDavis speaking about the culture of influence and future w #NFTs ‐ pretty cool to hear about his second act at @NEARFoundation event #MiamiArtWeek

If you're a more recent fan of @F1 there's no way to explain the spectacular talent of #SebastianVettel. It was on display at a rain soaked Monza in 2008. A boy defeating @ScuderiaFerrari and @McLarenF1 with a slingshot and few smooth stones before becoming King. #DankeSeb

Ok Martin Shkreli joined and just said to Do Kwon "jail's not that bad"

@stablekwon is discussing what @binance and @FTX_Official mean for the market and his own experiences. Only in crypto is this kind of unscripted, spur of the moment kind of conversation possible, let alone public. Also - 👏🏽@cobie to pull it together

@BroadsideNFT @MattMason Doing great! Good luck today!

@HedgeFundPR @MattMason Big up mate hope you're well 🙏☠️

Excited to see what @MattMason and his team at @BroadsideNFT will deliver, and appreciate the spotlight it puts on #CC0 vs full commercial rights in #NFTs. Nice way to lead the conversation with a multi-phase project. Worth taking a look (and pre-registering)!

@MandalChild @TurnerNovak Chuck, my dad was from Kerala (India!) which makes me qualified according to Turner. The comments will be very familiar to Indians because they are part of our culture. Ask any aunty. My dad, who I miss, used to say "fust" and so I put it in and shared with family for a smile.

@HedgeFundPR @TurnerNovak Turner mentioned “Indian CEO”, you are neither an Indian, nor a CEO. Plus I highly doubt your skills. You are only good at making racist remarks. You will not make the cut 😢 The people who really deserve the responsibility, gets the role.

the only thing that can save Meta now is an Indian CEO

@MandalChild @TurnerNovak Turner indicated only that being Indian was the requirement. I was "fust" to volunteer, so thanks for the opportunity. I accept this responsibility on behalf of all Indian sons whose parents tell people they are the right hand man to the CEO and heir apparent. We made it boys!

@HedgeFundPR @TurnerNovak Unfortunately you also need to be skilled.

The team's bold vision has been backed by @BoostVC @slow @MenloVentures @CRV, @alumniventures @climatecap @chaos_vc @UpHonestCapital @benmtaft and @ovofund. It's a project to watch closely!

It has been fun and rewarding to help @NiharNeelakanti and Garret Kane of @ecosapiensxyz introduce the largest #climate corrective action by private individuals in history. Read more: tinyurl.com/5a59mh2f
