I had the opportunity to share my perspective and experience in generational wealth transfer with Alicia Lue and @macleans @MyFO_Tech

@awilkinson I love this so much!!!!! Always working myself out of a job! Hire and work with the best! @jon_ricci

Today, we’re announcing a huge change at Tiny. Entrepreneurship is just delegation taken to the extreme. At first, you do it all. Badly and all at once. It sucks. Because you suck. Then you read a book and have a lightbulb moment: You realize that you can hire someone to do the things you’re bad at. It feels like someone has given you the cheat codes. You hate Excel, but it turns out, that someone else's idea of a perfect evening is six hours of pivot tables in Excel. It’s a miracle. You can't believe you can pay someone to do this. But you can. And it works. So you keep going. Focusing on the stuff you’re good at, hiring people to do the rest. You become Teflon for Tasks. Delegating. Always delegating. First, the things you hate. But eventually, even the things you love. You thought you wanted to be a star athlete, an individual contributor, but you come to realize that isn’t you. You’re a machine builder. An engineer. You want to build a team. A machine made up of people and plays and strategies. So you do. At first you’re the captain. Still scoring goals. Clinking pints with your teammates after the game. But over time, this changes too. You play less and less. If you want to win, you realize, you have to get off the field. The others are stronger than you. It turns out that the thing you’re truly great at isn’t kicking the ball, but building the team. Coming up with the plays. Tinkering. Training. Trading players. Strategizing. It feels odd, but right. You've disconnected your own effort from the results. Harnessed a group of amazing people to achieve staggering things. You’ve built a winning team. No longer the star player, or the captain, but the bar raiser. The cheerleader. The coach. You say it out loud. It feels good. One day, you realize that you don't kick the ball anymore. You work on the plays. Build players up. Break them down. Trade the ones who aren't working. Your system—the players and strategies you’ve chosen—produce wins. There's a method to the madness. A system appears. The machine is humming. You feel like you're in the zone. Doing the thing you're best at. But then, one day, you make a trade and a new player joins the team. He comes from an even larger and more successful team. And he changes things. Everyone takes notice of him. Starts looking to him in the locker room. You quickly promote him to team captain, and before long he’s proposing his own plays and strategies. "Hey, that's pretty good..." you think, scratching your head. You feel odd. "Why didn't I think of that?" you wonder. On the tenth time it happens, you have a strange realization. Maybe he should be the coach. You built the team that got us to today, but he knows the next phase. After all, the job has changed. The team is big now. It’s a franchise. There’s fans to contend with. The press. Owners. League politics. And everyone wants a piece of you. You’re no longer doing the thing you’re great at and you have that old feeling. The one you got in the beginning. And you realize that this guy. Your star player. The captain. The potential coach. He's better than you at all that. So you do what you’ve always done. You delegate. Step aside. Empower. Move up to the owner’s box. Focus on the next level up, as the machine keeps growing: newsfilecorp.com/release/211860…

Thank you @evansammccann for having me on your podcast it was such a pleasure sharing the @MyFO_Tech story with you!

@evansammccann @Mal_Sloth The problem is most non-tech Canadian founders don’t know about YC. Agree it doesn’t need to be a new platform but more awareness on matching tech talent with ideas.

@Mal_Sloth Great point. Glad YC specific is taken care of.

After quite a few chats with founders. A founder matching platform similar to YC would be high impact for Canadians. Top devs + top non-technical founders. Highly curated. Could see this doing well!

@evansammccann 💯

@awilkinson Amazing!!!! Did my first cold plunge last month didn’t believe in the idea and didn’t think I could last a few seconds. Did it lasted 2 minutes and now I believe! Life changing. Love this! Can we bring Huberman to YVR? @farhanmohamed 👀

The man with the square jaw cracked the ice on top of the cold plunge using the bottom of a closed fist to make room for me. There was literally fucking ice. An inch or two of it. “All yours” he said, sweeping his hand towards the human-sized hole in the icy tub. I had never cold plunged. I could barely stand a cold shower. But I didn’t want to let on. As I lowered myself into the glacial water, it felt like a thousand knitting needles stabbing into my body. I wanted to let out a deep, guttural, pathetic yelp. My brain was convinced I was dying. But I held on. I felt vaguely like I should just give in and go to sleep. Accept my imminent death. Just stay calm, don’t be a wuss. It’ll be over soon, I thought, through clenched teeth and gasping breaths. I began to attempt a conversation. Like somebody being held at gunpoint trying to stay cool, my voice quivering. “So…how…long is optimal?” I asked. I looked up and saw that face. The guy with the square jaw from my phone’s podcast player app. “You’re at 30 seconds… You should probably do at least a minute.” I associated the face with logic and reason. I trusted it—but now I was having second thoughts as I wondered if I was going to die of hypothermia in a bizarre biohacker hazing ritual. Moments later, like a Titanic survivor being hoisted from the Atlantic ocean, gasping in a lifeboat, I pulled myself out of the frigid water. My head was spinning, my heart pounding like a metronome, but I felt…amazing. Like I’d done some sort of incredible drug. I wondered if I had passed the test? I had done my first cold plunge with none other than Dr. Andrew Huberman. True health nerd cred. Six months earlier, I had invited Andrew to come to my hometown and give a talk. At the time, he had just started his podcast and I was absolutely hooked. The morning before the talk, we met at my favorite cafe. I wasn’t sure what to expect. After all, this is a guy who can monologue about scientific mechanism for hours on end. I assumed he would have the personality of a piece of burnt toast. But he wowed me. He was a really great guy. Inquisitive, open, and broad. We hit it off. Kept talking and texting. Exchanged books and got to know one another over the coming years. I helped him with random projects. My team redesigned his website and helped him setup out his premium podcast feed. With my foundation, we also partnered to fund top scientists, and we expect to fund many millions of dollars of research together over the next few years. Which is how I ended up in his cold plunge. Along the way, he started talking my ear off about Yerba Mate. His father is Argentinian, so he grew up drinking a lot of it. As he has a habit of doing, he also expounded on the various health benefits of consuming it and on their underlying mechanisms:

@MylesShedden @SonderStays @Marriott So bad… apparently you can suck at reach a $2B valuation.. I actually don’t understand why it’s so bad. It’s not much cheaper than a hotel or an Airbnb.
