Look at this guy.
• He delivered pizzas at Pizza Hut
• Dropped out of uni
• Sold supplements out of his parents' garage
Now, he's worth $1.3 Billion—at 31.
The story of the youngest billionaire you've never heard of:

If you've ever thought to yourself "How did this person get that job?? I know I could do better than them!" It's time to reconsider your approach.
I shared my thoughts on @Forbes on how you can stand out in the competitive tech market today:

@AirCanada we need to come back tomorrow and need this resolved now. Please someone reasonable speak to me. Have never had customer service agents talk down to me when the airline is messing up this bad.
English
@AirCanada almost impossible to believe how awful of an experience I'm having with you. Not only was my connecting flight last week canceled, I am now hearing that you automatically canceled the 3 flights we have going back and never let me know. How is this possible? Pls help...

@ptsi Great milestone Phil! Say hi to your dad for me. We’re going to celebrate our 30th year in September!
English
29 years in the USA.
I came as a 12-year-old refugee with my dad and two suitcases. One had sheets. Another one had cooking pans. Our idea was at least we can make some food.
So grateful for everyone who opened the doors to us.

Lululemon founder, Chip Wilson, has a staggering net worth of $10 billion 🤯
In this clip, he shares the company's AMAZING origin story and explains how a disability helped him build the 'athleisure' empire
At 32 year old, Wilson was diagnosed w/ a rare type of muscular dystrophy making it difficult for him to walk - this led him to try yoga which helped relieve his back pain
While doing yoga, he came up w/ the idea to make stylish and functional yoga apparel for women using a fabric that would "make their butts look good"
After selling his skateboarding & snowboarding apparel company for a modest amount, Wilson set his sights on creating yoga apparel targeting young professional women
In 1997, after some initial struggles and experimentation, Wilson leased space for his first store in Vancouver Canada
He shared the space w/ local yoga instructors at no cost to them on the condition that they help sell Lululemon's products to their students - this strategy would prove to be instrumental in helping Lululemon take off
At the end of 2022, Lululemon is one of the most successful apparel companies in the world and the 2nd largest company only behind Nike in its category
Wilson himself is widely credited for being the creator of the 'athleisure' trend
I highly recommend this clip for any entrepreneur looking for an inspirational story and urge people to watch the full interview w/ Tony Robbins

@darrenmarble Many are questioning it, but most need the structure that a formal educational institution provides, and it’s going to take time for alternatives to gain the credibility needed to become serious options.
English
Young people should be seriously questioning the value of attending college now more than ever before.

@ptsi And every day you need to decide which you’re going to be, for how long, and why.
English
I love startups, but I let me just say the obvious — they are so wildly hectic vs. being a developer building things.
It’s equal parts:
Building
Selling
Marketing
Fundraising
Hiring/Managing a team
And if you fail at any one of these items you’re out of a job.
It’s a lot 🫠🤠

@CindyBiSV Yes, the best founders can. The problem is when people give feedback in a prescriptive way that makes a founder defensive and makes the person giving the feedback lose credibility.
English
Founders are not babies,
They can take the adult conversations and tough feedback,
Right?

Let me help them out here: “Calling for the genocide [death] of anyone obviously constitutes harassment.”
Bill Ackman@BillAckman
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism: Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment? The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth. Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again. In short, they said: It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews. This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is: “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group” The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership. Don’t take my word for it. You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am. They must all resign in disgrace. If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour. Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world? Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context. To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest. On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing. It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate. If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.

In many ways, after just a few million in ARR, your job as CEO is to maintain momentum
With:
- better management
- fuel (capital)
- innovation (features)
- more awareness (marketing)
And so you should obsess about any early signs of losing it
You’ll see it before others do

@steviemctweets This is a great list. One caveat is that some investors like to ask for a data room after one meeting as a next step. Unless you're further in the diligence process and you feel like an investor is serious, I definitely would not send all of this information to just any investor.

100% of 0 is 0 is what any VC will tell you to convince you that you need their money.
What they don't tell you is that the same principle applies when they push you to burn through all your money to try to get to unicorn status when you should have just taken that $50M offer.
