Imagine if humans figure out how powerful shared meaning is when using language as a tool to communicate with words describing common concepts, goals 🤯😝

Deleted cause I replied to wrong sub tweet. Reposted it to the person that replied to me, content is there. Not an insult but calling you out for playing down a complex topic as just lift. Fwiw you are providing the dictionary definition of what I mean by mood vs emotion. I still think you rock (on entrepreneurship but stay in your lane homie ❤️)

@digdeep Your insults for no reason show your mental weakness Which too could be solved by lifting weights, healthy cardio and a clean diet Try it

Folks who have an adult ADHD diagnosis: How did you go about getting diagnosed? What’s the best way to do so online.

@BowTiedNautilus @levelsio @awilkinson Great protocols, I do them all, great way to balance my mood. Mood != emotions. Given the incorrect setting our defaults will override. Doing the work inc therapy, understanding underlying behaviours is more complex than hitting the gym. lol at Time Machine :)

@digdeep @levelsio @awilkinson What's your suggestion? The only way to control it is taking medication? Or going to therapy or better go back in time? Exercise, eating well, sun exposure etc have zero downsides. Try it.

@levelsio @awilkinson Tech bro thinks lifting weights makes up for gaps in development, emotional regulation as an adult stemming from absent primary caregivers as children. I love X so much, nowhere else can you find people good at one thing applying it to everything 🤡

Please just start lifting weights and cardio and cut out all processed food ADHD is a made up diagnosis We all just have different personality and brain types And you have a $1.7T industry trying to profit off of that by medicating everyone You gonna hate me for this but thanj me later I'd be diagnosed as ADHD too I've seen friends get absolutely destroyed by ADHD medicine like @PascalPixel and luckily now he's off it Don't start

Remember when the Google guy was talking to the equivalent of GPT 2.5, saw God and freaked everyone out and now we all use something way better and people say it's ho-hum?

Is there an alternative to @IBISWorldAU but actually has useful data about operating conditions and company level comparisons like spread of size? $1500 a month for dumb ratios like total industry revenue, industry x companies/ industry y employees = y employees per company. What does one do with this?

This is what AI is for. Just this use case alone is worth every dollar invested in it.

What Are the Danger Signs a Startup Isn't Going to Work Out? Let me share my list. It’s more about things I worry about after investing, as sometimes they're hard to see before: Founders’ understanding of market doesn’t get deeper over time. I really worry when 9–12 months later, the founders do not understand their market better. Especially, when they are a bit too arrogant about how they will kill the leaders -- when they don't really understand why they win. Too slow to hire VPs. Hiring is tough, but if 12 months have gone by and you haven’t added 2 strong senior execs to the team, I get worried. I worry if you can even recruit them at all. If you can’t — you will never scale. At least, you will struggle to scale. When others fly. Too slow in general. Startups that are just too slow get eclipsed by the competition. No matter what else great they have going for them. Excuses for misses. Often, again and again. This is maybe the biggest flag. You will have rough months and quarters. Probably even a rough year or two. It’s a bummer, but it happens to us all. When the “excuses” come out, though … confidence goes out the door. A bit more here. Surprises. There’s no need for surprises at the investor / board level in SaaS. Let everyone know ahead of time. In SaaS, the revenue recurs. You’ll know when a big customer is at risk. When the burn rate may grow larger than plan. When the year plan is at risk. When a VP may not be the right one. The best CEOs telegraph these risks, without drama, but plainly and ahead of time. A bit more here. Slowdown in transparency, especially during tougher times. This is maybe the second biggest flag. When transparency slows down, especially in tough times, confidence goes out the door. Congrats on the great quarter. But not sending a prompt investor update when the next quarter is soft? That’s confidence-wrecking. Lack of deep understanding of the competitive landscape. You should get better and better at this. When I hear a CEO say a competitor is “imploding” — usually they aren’t. Sometimes, but usually not. The best CEOs are very respectful of their competitors. The best CEOs update you first on what the competition is doing well, and importantly. where they are adding competitive differentiation. Manipulation and sociopathic behavior. Yes, as CEO, you are selling up. That’s part of the job. But venture is a confidence game. Don’t sell a half-truth, or a crock. Don’t spin a story that isn’t real — especially internally. Take the tough criticism, even and especially when you don’t want to hear it. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. The manipulative, by contrast, lash out. Unable to Get Burn Rate Under Control. This sometimes kills startups, sometimes it more maims them. Sometimes it leads to a premature exit. But one way or another, the best founders wrestle a too-high burn rate into something manageable.
