@thebenbergman Was disappointed to see the reversed decision.

Should the Washington Post spend over $80,000 to send 14 people to cover the Winter Olympics? No. Newsrooms need to pick their spots and this is a good decision, albeit way too late.

happy monday

@ragsgups @jp2e It's the gift of time with those we love most. Thank you, Posha!

@thesamparr Fascinating. Ok - if you want to make life easier in a way that matters, use AI to cook for you. You don't have to be a $B. posha.com @thesamparr Check X to validate - Silicon Valley execs and investors are going crazy ordering.

What’s the difference between a $10m, $100m, and $1b lifestyle? Asked this question in Hampton's Slack community since we have people worth $10m - $2b. A few takeaways from the 50+ replies: $50k – $100k liquid • The first “I feel rich” for many in 20s. • Bills stop hurting. You breathe. • $1M net worth rarely changes anything. In high-cost cities, it’s just “comfortable professional.” Still very income-dependent. $10M liquid - This is the first real unlock. • Safety net feels permanent • You stop looking at the right side of the menu • Business-class by default, 5 hotels when you want • You can cover friends’ flights to make trips happen • Life doesn’t run you anymore. $20M–$25M liquid: • “I can spend $50k/mo forever and still compound.” • Nicer primary home (or rent ultra-nice; fewer ownership headaches) • Staff for convenience (nanny, cleaners) • Family support start to be normal, not “splurge” $50M liquid • Cash flow is thick and hard to fully redeploy. • 2nd homes, extended travel • Serious privacy planning begins • You’re learning trusts, tax vehicles, and who to not trust $100M: • Life becomes frictionless. • Fly private often (some buy; many rent because ownership is work) • Full household team + exec assistants + specialists • Family office(s), capital allocation becomes a job • You choose projects; problems get solved without you Past $100M • personal lifestyle doesn’t change much—scale and privacy do. • Land for privacy buffers • Private gyms/courts/spas at home • You’ll never fly commercial unless you want to $1 billion • Money becomes institutional. • You never see a bill • Global properties, fully private travel • Governments, universities, and CEOs court you • It’s legacy season: foundations, endowments, monuments A few real anecdotes from the thread: • A billionaire bought a pro sports team mid-flight on his jet. His right-hand guy became COO. • A friend group dropped $200k–$300k on a yacht week just to get everyone together. • Multiple members set up dual family offices (JPM + independent) to manage life + investments. The biggest trap everyone warned about: • “Coming into money without accomplishing anything is a curse.” • Lottery-winner energy breaks people. Purpose > purchases. Cash flow > net worth (psychologically). • Even people with $50M–$100M feel “poor” during low-cashflow years. Meaning, even if you have a high net worth -- if your business income goes away even if you don't need it, it feels horrible. Mentally brutal. What actually brings joy at scale: • Buying back time (coaches, chefs, pilots, concierge) • Funding memories (fly the whole crew, pick up every tab) • Being present (one member took a year as a stay-at-home dad - “wouldn’t trade it for anything”) What gets old fast: • More “stuff” to manage • Identity tied to net worth • Chasing bigger dopamine (toys) instead of deeper meaning (health, family, service, community) -- Ok, that's it - that's my ChatGPT summary of all the replies!

@lennysan @eatwithposha @maticrobots Heart you right back! As you know, these founders make incredible pod guests ;)

Love you @eatwithposha and @maticrobots

BTS from our latest photo shoot featuring the people who were actually working behind the scenes - make up, lighting, shooting, hair - so much goes behind making a shoot successful.

@ragsgups So many people behind this incredible brand! Thanks for showing them :)

This week's @greatchatpod was extra special because @CaseyNewton joined the chat to talk about all things tech media!! We talk about the rise of podcasts and newsletters as formats of choice, "going direct” as a viable strategy for getting reporters’ attention, why some startup PR agencies might be kinda screwed, and much more.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

if AI is replacing labor, does it also get Labor Day off?

@vasuman Publish a damn customer service number.

My last day at Meta is this Friday. Anything y'all want me to do before I leave?

@mwickens @tobi @maticrobots They are upfront that it won't go under things - I love that it does everything else incredibly well.

@tobi @maticrobots It looked great, until I notice it’s 8” tall. A $1K+ robot vacuum that won’t clean under beds and sofas seems like a niche product.

This thing is just incredible. @maticrobots have made something incredibly delightful here.

What’s an experience you think everyone should have at least once in their lifetime

@_Liso_ @JamesonCamp @bryandav1z I could tell with the em dashes - still a great prompt, used it on Perplexity.ai for a flattering, yet insightful analysis.

@JamesonCamp @bryandav1z I used GPT to make it. It does a great job when it use it recursively.

Ask ChatGPT what your IQ is and post it in the comments. I want to see something…
