Books that aren’t about entrepreneurship that’ve helped me: The Warmth of Other Suns
In the early 1900s around six million Southern black Americans migrated up north and out west to California.
Even though slavery ended in the 1800s, in the early 1900s in the South it realistically still existed.
Millions of poor black farmers were paid virtually nothing and when they wanted to move north to a less racist area and start new lives, they were threatened with violence.
Thousands of blacks were lynched trying to escape.
Hundreds killed when attempting to convince other blacks to demand higher wages, organize, or flee.
I find these stories incredibly inspiring. Same with immigrant stories.
The bravery of moving somewhere new with a family to start a new life. Often, entrepreneurship was a way out.
The book has stories of people starting sewing businesses to get by and one guy overcoming the odds to open his own doctor practice.
This is why I’m passionate about capitalism and entrepreneurship - it’s a super practical way to escape and create a life that helps you and others.

AI psychosis looks like so much fun.
No stress, living in the moment.
This magic text box you think is all-knowing tells you exactly what you want to hear.
Hell yeah.

@andrewchen @ImGordonSun and their economics will be radically different than before because of the low cost of building

very cool. I think we're going to see an amazing wave of AI-native consumer apps soon that will build on these kinds of ideas. congrats to @ImGordonSun and team!

if everything in your business is running smoothly, that's a red flag.
growth creates chaos, and chaos creates opportunities.
running smoothly = you're not pushing hard enough or growing fast enough.
the mess isn't a sign something is wrong, it's a sign something is working. lean into it.
broken startups are the ones actually growing

Mistakes you will make in your life and what to do about them (1)
YOU WILL LEND SOMEONE MONEY AND ACTUALLY EXPECT IT BACK
Do not do this. If you lend someone money, just act like you took them out for a beer, a meal, or sometimes, a weekend Airbnb. Just let it go. Otherwise it will create resentment, sometimes on both parts, and it will put power dynamics into the relationship where there is none.
Instead, just give it away if you can at all handle it. Just assume it’s gone forever.
Now, if you have another person that’s trying specifically to get out of the hole, and they’re like “can you lend me X, and I’ll repay specifically Y,” just accept those terms. You can still forget about it, but then the lack of repayment is on their conscience, not on yours.
You don’t need more weight on your mind or your heart. Just let it go.

Netflix and Amazon will NEVER be your startup's blueprint.
they're outliers, and honestly, copying them is one of the laziest things a founder can do.
your market is different, your customers are different, and your startup's path will look nothing like theirs.
stop looking up and start looking inward.
focus on your market, your product, your customers, and become your own outlier.

Years ago I spoke to Nir at a coffee shop, and I remember him saying so clearly, I've done alright, but I haven't written a forever book like Atomic Habits.
Well Nir, now you have. Well done.

We did it!! Beyond Belief is a New York Times Bestseller. 🎉 🎊 🙏 Thank you so much for your support! Earlier this week, I got a text from my buddy and fellow author @JamesClear saying, “Beyond Belief will forever be a New York Times Bestseller,” along with a screenshot of my name on the list. That's how I first found out. I was in utter disbelief (which seems ironic for a guy who’s just spent 6 years writing a book about overcoming limiting beliefs 😂) As an author, making the NYT list has always been a dream. It’s taken me a lot of reflection and internal work to not let that goal get in the way of the more important goal of writing a book that will change lives. That must remain the north star, and yet I’d be lying if I said this moment doesn’t mean something deep to me and my wife, business partner, writing collaborator, and best friend, Julie. To everyone who read it, shared it, gifted it, or simply believed in it before they even opened the cover, YOU are the reason this happened. Thank you for trusting me with your time and your heart. I don’t take that lightly. 🙏 And if you'd like to get your copy, you can get Beyond Belief here: geni.us/beyondbelief

20 years in business taught me this the hard way:
if you embrace vulnerability as an entrepreneur, you’re already far ahead of most business owners.
the more I understand leadership, the more I realize there are layers to vulnerability.
admitting what you don’t know builds trust, humanizes your leadership, and shows your team you’re willing to learn and grow alongside your team.
stop acting like you know everything.
then people will actually believe you when you talk
English
@thefrenkel yeah and you can't tell that while lookikng at the horizon
English
@julien the horizon keeps moving anyway. the value is who you become while chasing it

commit long-term, because most people quit when it gets tough.
you have to be prepared to outlast everyone else - because clarity, success, and real impact only come with time.
as tobi from shopify said, “companies are not built to be short term. they take a long time to build, and you have to care for them for a long time.”
decide you’re not doing this for two years but for 5, 10, or 20, and you’ll outlast the people who give up when it gets tough.
