Some will already know this, but William Gibson collaborated with the Japanese workwear brand Buzz Rickson about 20 years ago to create a line of military-inspired garments. As far as I know, the line has stayed totally the same — same material, same details, same cuts — even as fashion trends have moved from full to slim and back to full again. How great is it that you could have saved up and splurged on a really nice garment 20 years ago, and if you went to the same store today, it would be totally the same? There's no pressure to "update" your wardrobe. No feeling like you might miss out on the latest drop. If you lose the jacket, you can go to the store and get the same one, even two decades later. There's something special about having that kind of confidence in your aesthetic. Also, not pressuring people to constantly buy buy buy. They purchase one nice thing and wear it for years. Should they decide the garment is not for them, guess what? They can sell it on the second-hand market for about 50% of what they paid because retailers are still selling the same thing. That fashion model is very inspiring to me. Plus, the stuff looks great. The videos below are from the wonderful London-based shop Son of Stag. You can also find at Self Edge, my favorite retailer for denim. They have locations in the United States and Mexico. Both stores specialize in this kind of clothing. You can find both shops on Instagram at the handles sonofastag and selfedge.

@girdley Anyone with even tangential exposure to NYC real estate felt this about WeWork when they got going. I remember touring their huge Meatpacking building, sales rep pushing me hard to commit and the glass bubble spaces just endlessly empty. It never made any sense.

I was a younger entrepreneur. I'd go to a local gym to lift and play hoops. This one dude about my age (early 30s) would be there. Every time rolling up in a different Ferrari. We started talking. I complimented the car and asked what he did. He said, "Investments. I help with cross-border trade." I asked, "Oh, how does that work?" He explained it. I didn't get it. He explained it again. I had zero clue how it was a viable business. I nodded my head politely and said, "Awesome. Cool." It made no sense. -- A few years later, the guy was arrested for fraud. Went to jail and they took the Ferraris. I see it repeatedly in my life: * I can't understand something * My gut says "Something's off here" Pay attention to that feeling. -- In other words, when the vibes are wrong: Run away. --- If you enjoyed this, please like, retweet, comment, bookmark, post on the bathroom wall at your local truck stop, etc.

@PeterShallard Yeah it's tough, I just say "hey, you have my logo on your page. People see it and call me. I want you to know that I am always very transparent about the results we actually got while working together." That usually does it.

Cracks me up when SaaS companies trumpet a logo page like this. Then I text a few of the founders: “We stopped using it last year” “Didn’t do at all what it promised” “We took a demo in 2024” Before you let marketing slap a logo on a slide, remember, DTC is a small world.

Being a digital nomad is great until you realize you’re making less money, forming shallower relationships, and enjoying your travel less than if you had a solid home base and used travel only as a periodic tool to refresh your perspective.

@Austen We did Hobbit at 5. LoTR feels like 10 (not there yet). I want them to read/be-read-to first, before seeing any movies. So cool to have an imagined landscape and characters morph into the Peter Jackson world.

"Entrepreneurship" for so many was simply being good at computers when most of the world wasn't. That's changing though. E.g. im seeing a lot of e-comm entrepreneurs hit the wall right now. Feels like a bunch of millennials have lost their early-mover (and digital native) advantages. It's getting competitive.

Choosing to be a founder means accepting an irrational trade. The world offers you comfort, upside, and predictability; you choose uncertainty and the right to call your own shots. But for real founders, nothing beats having autonomy.

@CoryOnBrand This is definitely how this current wave of tools is shaking out. New grads using AI are producing absolute crud. Guys with 25+ years experience are 10xing productivity.

AI is only as good as the human who prompted it. So don’t worry… AI isn’t coming for your job. But a hyper-skilled prompt engineer human is lol.
