@matthewclifford Love to hear what surfaces from this

Friendship seems under-theorised as a force for changing the world. What's the best writing on friendship? I'm familiar with (the excellent) Collaborative Circles. What else is there?

@jimkroft He sounds wise

My productivity doubled after an entrepreneur said to me: “Manage your energy, Jim, not your time”. It gave me the gift of realising that energy is your prime resource. So many people burn out. Why? Because they can’t let it go. Take a nap. Put your feet up. Remember the breath.

@OctopusEnergy Thank you

@brightgreen Thanks for your time earlier to get this booked, Tom. We’re here to help if you need anything else in the meantime 🐙

.@OctopusEnergy I like the idea that you're all about a better experience for customers. However after installing an incorrect meter at our house (which took months to schedule), we've now been waiting 6 weeks for you to switch it (you said it would take 1-2 weeks) max.

@OctopusEnergy Still not heard anything.

@brightgreen Hi Tom, I’m just checking in on this for you now & chatting to our engineers, we’ll be in touch with an update shortly. 🐙

@OctopusEnergy Thank you. I appreciate the fast response. I currently cannot turn on my solar system, and I cannot take down scaffold (that I'm renting) until the meter is changed, so the delay is costing me A LOT. I'd appreciate a quick fix, given it was your error in the first place! =)

@lpolovets @HarryStebbings @chadbyers @SethGB Amazing work Leo, congrats!

@kirill @enkidevs Send them to me. Will give you carry if we run them

I get sent tens of startup pitches a day but I’m not investing right now — fully focused on @enkidevs what should I do with those? Ignore? Nice replies to build network? Forward all / good ones to relevant investor friends?

@bonatsos We're doing drinks on eve of 11th for 100 of them. Come along?

Very eager to meet some ridiculously ambitious tech founders in London next week!

Love the concept that people should work in their 'Zone of Genius' Thanks Matt Mochary @mattmochary docs.google.com/document/d/11U… Here's the best example I can think of someone sitting, squarely in that zone and compounding within it: youtube.com/watch?v=mJR6XS… @jacobcollier @naval

@t_blom @thetimes Call out the journalists here, so that we can remember to put them on our 'don't bother doing interviews with, or read article by' list

I'm back in London for a few days, and it's good to see that most of the UK press is still printing absolute horseshit for headlines. Let's start with @thetimes - here's an example from today: twitter.com/matthewcliffor…

@Barney_H_Y Wanna join Ventures Together, we're 150 of the top operators in Europe, investing in companies together, including founders of Beamery, Huma, Onfido and many more - more here venturestogether.notion.site/5612f8db35c049…

The best piece of advice I got when starting Cleo was to stack my cap table/board with ex-founders Very few people in the world get what it’s like to go from a blank piece of paper to $100m+ ARR…

As the dust settles on the Coronation, I've summarised the facts about Harry and Meghan. Frankly there's little to say. Despite this, the Express published 136 overwhelmingly negative articles about the couple over a 4-day period. Many were brutally aggressive and insulting.

@andreasklinger Toby Moore (ex Mind Candy and EF)

Who is a good CTO coach you’d recommend? Customer is ex-lead engineer now in first startup CTO role with a complex product.

@annehelen We've all been friends (from college) for 25 years, I definitely wouldn't do it with people I didn't know very, very well and shared values with

@annehelen I bought a property with two other families 2 years ago. Huge amounts of admin, legals, tax and so on in the set up. But our kids play together, we share looking after the land and there's lots of hanging out, sharing things and so on. 25% happier for sure. Happy to share more.

1) It's hard to make new friends in your 30s 2) People report being 25% happier when they live close to friends 3) Family isn't enough to provide the robust safety net we crave So why don't we live closer to our friends? Some theories: annehelen.substack.com/p/youd-be-happ…
