I met Albert on X
Last night, we stayed at his 1st micro-resort in Big Sky, MT.
8 mo ago, these were just 10 cookie-cutter tract homes for sale on a blank lot. He seized a great opportunity in a highly-constrained market, then “experientialized” the place.
It’s paying off…👇🏻

Walked out the house seen snow turned right back around 😂

@morrisseymojo Sounds like a powerful feature Yesla's marketing team should leverage then.

@PeacefulMedia I think after the 2nd kick they were out of breath

@Daniel_Gardner Bluey is a Disney show - is it legit?

I've been doing film study on DeBoer teams for four years, going back to Fresno State in 2020. He's a real professional in terms of in-game coaching decisions and team discipline.
I've never seen him or his teams make this many tactical errors in a single game.

@morrisseymojo Smart. Wonder if the Beavs' AD can figure out a way to use in on their coach? #Engineering

@PeacefulMedia It’s to keep it from running away

Me to my son after the SC game: You baby Duck fans have it easy.
Son: Baby Duck fan? How do you become a grown up Duck fan?
Me: You suffer. This team will hurt you in ways you can’t imagine.
Son: what do you mean?
Me: Have you ever heard of Michael Dyer?

@morrisseymojo @TadFernandez3 Real question we Duck fan parents should be asking is how to get our kids to the *unhealthy* obsession level. 👶🫶

@TadFernandez3 He’s 11 and has a healthy passion for the Ducks. It’s time he knows what’s in store for him

Sage advice ✌️
Tim Ferriss@tferriss
If someone asked me to give investing advice to a 30-year-old today who had just made their first million, I would first point them somewhere else. I’m not a financial advisor and don’t think I’m qualified to give anyone financial advice. The particulars matter too much. But if they insisted, I might say: (1) If you want to play in early-stage tech investing (or anything high-risk, high-reward), ensure you have a plan for developing an ENORMOUS informational advantage. Aim to develop new skills and relationships through portfolio companies so that you can win over time, even if you “fail” with many bets going to zero. Only bet what you are comfortable losing and what you can recoup in other ways. Though my angel investing snowballed, I began with $10K checks and advising for sweat equity. Think of this as tuition for a real-world MBA. Are you willing to move to the hub of activity to ensure the best possible information and deal flow, as I did when I moved to SF lifetimes ago? Or make commensurate commitments or sacrifices to ensure you are in a position to win? If not, I’d suggest choosing a different game. Other people will take the initiatives that you won’t, and they will beat you. Much of early-stage investing is cooperative, but let’s not kid ourselves, a lot of it is competitive, and not everyone will podium finish. (2) For the rest—which could be everything—follow Buffett’s advice. Keep it simple. One cautionary example of doing the opposite: I spotted the COVID curve ball early, and I made a lot of very “sophisticated” (complicated) decisions related to investing, and the associated research, diligence, phone calls, and so on chewed up an unbelievable amount of time and energy. Eighteen to twenty-four months later, I’d done very well but decided to look at how passive S&P 500 returns would’ve added up over the same period, and… they were roughly the same. Of course, you can’t always bank on this outcome, but beware of seeking complexity if you’ve been rewarded for problem-solving throughout your life. Looking back over the last 15+ years, the handful of investment decisions that made all the difference have been simple and were somewhat obvious to me, no major gear-grinding required. (3) Knowing when to buy isn’t enough. Have policies and rules for when you will sell, or the universe will punish you with very bad and very expensive decisions. (4) Don’t discount luck, including lucky timing. I started angel investing seriously in 2008 and hit a golden window of converging trends, cheap valuations (by today’s standards), and an uncrowded playing field. The financial crisis had culled the herd of a ton of investors and fair-weather founders. It was a target-rich environment, even for someone with very little to invest. Micro-VCs were just cracking out of their shells, and the big players hadn’t started assailing the seed stage stuff. In retrospect, it was a wildly rare combo of things. I don’t believe I could replicate what I did in 2008–2012 now. (5) Personally, I’ve largely stepped back from angel investing to double down on writing and the podcast (The Tim Ferriss Show, soon to hit 1B downloads). This comes from a desire for more predictability and less stress. I love the excitement of startups, and I’ve had some lucky wins, but I don’t find it nearly as interesting as developing creative muscles that bring in forecastable revenue year after year. For me, that has compounded more reliably than the all-or-nothing bets. Massive ups and downs in sectors like crypto also take a toll that reduces my creative batteries. In this chapter of my life, I think simplicity is the name of the game (e.g., finding one decision that removes 100 decisions). (6) Over-optimizing is just as bad, if not worse, than under-optimizing. Past a certain point, buying extra Skittles just doesn’t fucking matter. So, a note to self: stop fiddling around with your goddamn spreadsheets and get more interesting hobbies on the calendar. What hobbies? Exactly. (7) If we assume the point of investing is ultimately to improve your quality of life and the quality of life of those you most care about, investments that consistently add stress over long periods of time probably don’t make sense. Money is traded for things or experiences that catalyze certain feelings. If your investments are generating the opposite spectrum of feelings, it might be time to reassess. It’s easy to miss the forest for the trees. Money is a means, not an end. And in the end, most things matter very, very little. Do what helps you sleep at night and wake up with a low heart rate. To me, those are the hallmarks of a world-class investor who gets the big picture. tim.blog/2023/03/03/rev…

@session_cruz @Cinnamon__Bunnn @DEMUPro You're doing great on Twitter and I see you have a discord. How about a website for deeper research and credibility?
English
@PeacefulMedia @Cinnamon__Bunnn @DEMUPro I appreciate that. We’ve been trying to build up our Twitter page more before we launch our alpha for DEMU in Mid May.
We need as many people aware about it as possible and hopefully support it.
We’re also prepping our token launch, fleshing out the utility for it.
English
@session_cruz @Cinnamon__Bunnn @DEMUPro I've never heard that expression before, but as a founder (c.2008), I've certainly felt it. How can I/we help?
English
@PeacefulMedia @Cinnamon__Bunnn @DEMUPro I really appreciate that. My stomach is touching my back! Some of my team can’t afford to continue contributing. But we continue to push forward and deliver an alpha prototype for @DEMUPro.
Our launch is looking like mid-May. I can’t wait to show y’all what we’ve given our 💜 to
English
@session_cruz @Cinnamon__Bunnn Ya'll need to take a moment to observe how @session_cruz and @DEMUPro are spending their time in the bear. Building momentum well before number go up. 📈

@DEMUPro @session_cruz ❤️🔥 Passion coming through loud and clear, Session. Well done!

GM Web3! ☀️
We've been building for more than 8 months. 🏗️
Now, you learn what DEMU protocol is straight from our founder @session_cruz!
It's time the music industry meets blockchain.
English
Just had a great convo w/ the CEO & Chairman of Def Jam Records. If @DEMUPro launch later this month is successful, we’ll make a compelling case for onboarding them to Cardano via our music protocol. When that domino falls… they all will. I’m counting on yall, Cardano. Its time.

@HireFireTeam Do you enjoy educating other marketers? I'd pay to come learn advanced strategies.
English
As an agency owner I'm at a crossroads.
I can choose a path that leads to quantity. More staff, more clients.
Or I choose a path that leads to quality. Better work, bigger clients.
But I don't think I can go both. The systems needed to support each are at odds with each other.
