the best book i've read this year: ego is the enemy by @RyanHoliday. through this i uncovered my ego as a blindspot and blocker to a better, more fulfilling, and effective life. here are 5 quotes that might resonate and hint towards less ego as one of your challenges, too:

Q: How committed is the team at Buena? @karlvili: Look at my arm

@csteadone fyi

turning pro is by far the best, most resonating, and scariest book i‘ve read in my entire life.

@SaidHaschemi @DinBisevac @karlvili hahaahah sick

@DinBisevac @karlvili Duuuuuuude 😭🫶🏾

Buena is expanding into banking. Reimagining how properties, homeowners & tenants bank in the future. If you want to shape this future and then roll it out to our 70.000+ customers, DM me.

At Buena, we studied our industry all the way back to 1754 BC and turned what we found into a multi-story exhibition in our offices. Seeing how property management has been an enabler of cities, progress, and capitalism across centuries is what drives us every day.

I have some questions for my wife…

Today, we’re announcing our $58M Series A led by @vidushanmug from @GVteam with participation from @HarryStebbings from @20vcFund and @fdestin from @stride_vc How? Hard work, zero shortcuts, and extreme meritocracy including going from chief of staff to COO & late co-founder:

We burned $14M, were weeks away from bankruptcy. Today we have $25M ARR and are announcing a $58M Series A. All in a span of 1.5 years. Here's the story:

my understanding of great leadership is providing 1) clarity: setting priorities. 2) space to execute: empower independent decision taking, block any outside influences. 3) identity: nurture team members ability to morph their identity in whoever they need to become.

The typical Sunday at Buena. While Berlin is closed, our office is open. If you're an operator/founder in Berlin looking for a place to co-work on Sunday, shoot us a message.

@MaxNPalmer dms to relevant people on underserved platforms (like X) too

Follow-ups so good they'll get you job interviews with hot AI startups

read this when you have no clue how to find a freelance gig. this is the essence of what made me go from nervous breakdown to making >$10k per month freelancing within 30 days. if you find yourself trying to secure your first freelance gig, here's the 3 step process to get started. ___ 1. figure out what to sell • make a list of 3 specific skills you have monetized already. • ask yourself for each of the employers you've already worked for, what the core skill was they hired your for. • go through your cv, step by step. 2. rank your output of 1. by what the market needs more urgently. • form a hypothesis on which of the skills you listed is underserved (gap between demand and supply). • simplify - talking to one peer who's currently engaging in this activity might help make that assessment. • important: you're just ranking hypotheses here, not get a phd. 3. determine your most important action for the next 30-days. • reverse engineer how many outreaches you need to do to get your first gig • do a back-of-the-envelope calculation on how many people you think you would need to reach out to in order to secure one gig. • for example: you need 10 conversations to close one client, you need 300 outreaches for 10 conversations, you're probably off by 10% with your assumptions -> 330 outreaches. 11 per day. ____ finally, do the actions, and reward yourself. follow me if you like this type of content, chris

@RyanHoliday quote #5/5 instead of pretending that we are living some great story, we must remain focused on execution - and on executing with excellence. we must shun the false crown and continue working on what got us here. --- be specific and focus on execution.

@RyanHoliday quote 4/5 living clearly and presently takes courage. don't live in the haze of the abstract, live with the tangible and real, even if {...} it's uncomfortable. be part in what's going on around you. feast on it, adjust for it. --- live presently,
