@ramongberrios Used to go there once a week when I took a golf class my senior year at UT.

Every single city must have a pitch and putt

@ZacSolomon @brian_blum1 This guy @brian_blum1. Happy New Year my guy! Hope all is well!

Either Austin is special, or I’m just getting really lucky. …because today I met @brian_blum1 We talked about: 1️⃣ How TikTok shop is going to change everything 2️⃣ Which gyms in Austin are the most granola (lol) 3️⃣ Pontooning around Lake Travis 4️⃣ Co-hosting a weekly podcast 5️⃣ …and seizing a moment in time when it calls! Really passionate, and genuine guy. (p.s. Excited to get destroyed playing basketball with y’all)

@ZacSolomon @jake_oshea Hey. I know that guy @jake_oshea. lol. What's up man? Happy New Year!

I’m meeting someone new in Austin… every👏single👏day ….and today I had an absolute blast getting to know @jake_oshea We talked about: • Rooftop farmers markets • Hosting a massive SXSW events • The best places in ATX for Karaoke • How to play matchmaker for private dinners • …and the anatomy of West vs Dirty vs East 6th! Jake said one thing to me today that made me IMMEDIATELY click with him..... When I asked him about his SXSW event that he hosts, he said, "I want to be hosting this event for the next 25 years..." Someone thinking that longterm, about one city, and one community, is inspiring. Jake is my kinda people.

any black founders building a crypto startup interested in a remote accelerator + $100K? engage and comment/dm for deets

@brian_blum1 @alexgarcia_atx Gonna check it out!

A couple months ago, @alexgarcia_atx and I started producing a podcast. It's called Sweat Equity. Why? Because while there's plenty of millionaires out there telling you what to do, we figured people could use insights from guys still chasing that big win. We've run marketing for some really successful brands. But, since that hasn't resulted in the exit every entrepreneur chases, there's really only one thing we can do now. Keep experimenting and figuring out what actually works. So thats what we talk about on the pod. Above all else, its pretty fun talking shop with one of your best friends too. Alex is a brilliant marketer and puts out 3-5 must hear gems per episode. Creating together is a blast. If you're into business content that's a blend of education + entertainment, check us out. Our first few episodes are live on YouTube, Spotify and Apple music. I'll post the link below. Let us know what you think 🎙️

@J_Sterl Blessings! More life!

What is the best Mint alternative?

@TheNamesBeemo @whokneauxs @AfroTech Love to see it!

In 2019, @whokneauxs, Darren and myself snuck into @AfroTech (we couldn't afford legit tickets) to pitch anyone who would listen on our crazy idea to build a trade-based marketplace for kicks. Four years later, we're AfroTech's Founders of the Year. Stay humble, stay hungry!

@NaithanJones Did it.

@buisi_x @mrbryankmiller @invstr_ Congrats! Big moves!

Closed on a 41-unit multi-family apartment Friday morning! Shoutout to @mrbryankmiller for finding the property and @invstr_ for mentoring me along the journey.

@JeanineSuah @TechBeachRT

Invested in my first Jamaican 🇯🇲 founder last week and almost cried when I wired the money. There's something really special about investing in someone who hails from the same country as your parents - as your ancestors. Full circle moment fr fr

@galeforceVC @rocketdollar

Did you know you can invest in VC funds from an IRA?

Life Hack: It’s okay to change your mind after receiving more information.

@J_Sterl Blessings

Got me feeling like the champ 🏆

Investors value outcomes, not activities. It's a shift in mindset you need to make. A 7-step system to determine how much your startup should raise for a round of funding.

@MacConwell @VP @KamalaHarris Love to see it.

Yesterday got invited to speak at a convening today being put on by the @VP / @KamalaHarris around Black men and entrepreneurship. Funny part is when I first got the invite I didn't even notice it said VPOTUS until someone called from the Office of the Vice President lol.

@DarrelFrater Glad that you bounced back my guy!

I had a rough 2 days mentally as I have been putting a lot of capital into my startup. Thank you to everyone that checked in on me. Even though I am a VC, it's really difficult for me to get funding for my personal endeavors. I'm back, but fear did creep in for a little.

@HBSAlumni @drzaghi @ZvetelinaS Amazing founder! Game-changing product!
