Who would have thought that 23' turned out to be a year prominent authors (Isaacson, Lewis) ended up with a mediocre product on the hottest topics

@tomowenmorgan Thank you for writing this Tom! It means a lot

@a1xsn Glad it resonated Artem!

Okay this is a single most important piece of writing I’ve experienced this year. For me being in a fucked up place mentally with all the professional reinvention, this is a much needed medicine. sapientcapital.com/insights/what-…

This story keeps on going 👀

Taylor Swift will make $10 million *on each day* of her upcoming Eras tour. But the crazy thing? Most people are using Notion entirely wrong. Here’s 10 ways to bootstrap your AI startup to $8 MRR. 🧵👀

NYT’s useful life hack on how to escape student debt

Also skipped the digest this week as I'm trying to re-engineer the format. It just stopped being fun, and the number of exciting web3 events has dropped significantly. Azuki's disaster is kinda fun though.

Turns out that trying to get a company off the ground is not exciting Twitter content. Each time I think, "now it's the time to write an update alright," but a second later, I catch myself mid-sentence with a passage worthy of @VCBrags
