Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful women who sacrificed their time, money, and sanity to raise us right.

Honestly, you really don’t need more books to read or podcast to listen to. Take what you know and go do something with it. A 1-inch step is more progress than standing still.

Just want to take a moment to thank all of the excellent teachers out there who fight hard for their students. You are appreciated. A teacher's reach transcends generations. It's because of you most of us become who we are today.

Achieving our daily goal is important, but some days, not choking people out is the win in itself.

This is one of the toughest places to be in life. Hard work, long hours, but it feels like no visible results. Frustration. Cloudiness. Doubt. Sadness. They all show up like it's a party in your mind. Two choices: 1) Quit or 2) Focus on what you can control. Don't quit.

@nj_ayuk 18 months well spent. Can't wait to read this one. Thoroughly enjoyed Billions at Play. Excited to learn Angola's story.

This has been an 18-month project. Looking forward to publishing another bestseller. Crude Oil is Angola's bread and butter. A major re­maining question is whether the Angolan masterclass in reforming a complex sector story will be replicated elsewhere in #Africa, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. The Angola turnaround occurred under the umbrella of an era of low political risk and stable investment conditions. Diamantino Azevedo and his team at ANPG Angola, Sonangol E.P. and the private sector put together an unabashed pro-drilling legal framework is one of the reasons for the Angolan turnaround. The right conditions encouraged oil and gas exploration and the risk taking necessary to propel the industry forward. This stable regulatory environment was aided by an understandable, straightforward, and predictable fiscal regime, a key factor that is not necessarily present in many countries. Countries seeking to develop their own oil resources should look to these enabling factors as baseline conditions and the progression of Angolan development over time to draw lessons learned. While Angola's oil and gas production continue to rise and producers harness more improvements in technology and efficiency, the industry still has obstacles to overcome. Angola’s intricate history is so rich and multifaceted that I am now convinced it would require multiple lifetimes to truly achieve the expert-level comprehension I had initially aspired to attain. Nevertheless, this experience instilled in me a deep appreciation for the nation, its people, and its story. From a more seasoned and reflective perspective, I confidently describe myself not as an expert but as a student of #Angola—a role I embrace with great pride and intend to maintain for the rest of my days. I am deeply indebted to so many that let me interview them and supported me with a lot of behind the scene material. This is going to be a blockbuster and a movie. Stay tuned.

@finebaum Still too soon

What's a loss from your favorite sports team you still can't get over?

@ramit My role is to evaluate it periodically and share insights with my wife, and she does the same on her end, then we compare notes for accuracy. I'm more analytical and she is results-oriented, so we pair well to find the right balance so we don't get stuck in one approach.

Men who follow me: What is your role with money in your relationship?

Just wrapped up this Generative AI for Execs & Business Leaders certification from @IBMwatsonx & @coursera . It’s about knowing how to build smarter, move quicker, and use AI to really elevate how we work. New levels loading…watch what I do next.

@seandsweeney @Waymo I just saw one of these in Atlanta. Didn’t know they were self-driving.

Spent the weekend in San Francisco. Took 8 @Waymo rides totaling over 2 hours. 100% convinced I just saw the future.

Be kind to yourself.

@AlexMichaelides is my favorite author. Who’s yours?

I miss Africa...

How do I factory reset Dominicans to regular Spanish speaking speed? If speaking in fast forward was a culture, this is it. 😩🤣

@JaceeyDistrict4 is doing his thing in @COSFGA ...love the way he keeps District 4 protected, but progressive.
