No real takeaway, other than wanting to be better about finding those people to drive you forward.

I realized that my friends with the best flywheels are in banking and consulting because there are aligned career goals among most and that drives more learning and emulation. As someone not in those fields finding ambitious people becomes more of an effort, but more important

Catching up on newsletters and just read @Codie_Sanchez article on friend flywheels. Fascinating. Friend flywheels seem to be a really hard thing to develop early in your career, as priorities are all over the place for young 20 somethings. As I was considering the idea (1/2)

@Pallet_HQ @hankai1998 Damn, you guys are absolutely shipping new features. Congrats @hankai1998

If you’re building your career… Prioritize these core principles:

If Klarna can be a $45B company underwriting consumers rather than businesses and paying interchange 4x on every transaction. Scary to think how big @tryramp might get. Choo Choo

@SahilBloom What sort of events would you target to maximize ROI? Think this is the toughest thing to determine while trying to build a network

If I were starting my career, going to an event, and wanting to stand out in the minds of the new people I meet… Here’s how I’d do it:

@jack @pmarca Here for this beef

@pmarca Are ya winning son?

@packyM congrats

thanks y'all 🥳

I am ready to go back into an office everyday

I can't believe that passports are still physical. A blurry stamp is the record of the countries I have entered over the past 5 years! A digital ledger seems like it would make more sense

@packyM More self-help, but Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by @MrJamesNestor is absolutely tremendous and will change the way you think about your most common activity

Last week, I asked people, "What's the one book or essay you'd recommend reading to get ready for the next decade?" We have 102 books in the Airtable (link below) + 95 replies (original tweet below). Only three repeat submissions:

This gets me fired up

If credit cards get disrupted, the entire airline industry would vanish (or be forced to pivot). Many airline points programs EXCEED the value of the actual airline. Operating flights have become a loss leader for their points program. Merchant fees drive the airline industry.

The easiest way to sell great writing is letting people read it. So make it easier to get The Athletic into potential readers hands. You have 1.2 million ready sales people! I oversimplified this, but better incentivizing subscribers to share this amazing app can pay dividends.

Give power to your current subscribers. Stories become more powerful when they are shared - but The Athletic makes this difficult. Give your subscribers 5 free shares a month and allow us to share the stories that matter with the people in our lives that matter.
