Obsessing over IQ is overrated. It barely scratches the surface of human potential. Creativity. Resilience. Emotional intelligence. Social skills. Those are the real differentiators.
In a recent conversation with my daughter I offered the advice that “you can pursue anything you want in life but not everything you want.” (She’s in her early twenties, so she may not agree with me yet.)
But life is about choices, and every choice comes with trade offs.…
Knowledge is not power, but knowledge applied is powerful.
In an age of information overload, knowledge and learning are abundant, but holding knowledge in our head without putting it into practice is of little value.
We’d be better off consuming less information and putting…

- Lennar’s participation as a co-lead in the 2018 $325 M round indicates a material role, but co-leading doesn’t necessarily imply a dominant equity share.

My only regret in life is not having kids earlier.
When I was 27 I was going out 4 nights a week, working 12+ hr days 6 days a week, waking up at 5am daily for CrossFit.
Kids would've been a breeze.
Don't wait for more resources to have kids. Energy is scarcer than money.
This morning we filed an 8K to say that my and @Opendoor’s X accounts would be used to talk with our investors.
We’ve also parted ways with our former external PR agencies.
When we want to talk, you will hear from us. Not paid professionals who don’t share our mission.
“Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of…
One of my favorite podcast episodes of the last few years. Rich Roll is such a deeply introspective, transparent and wise man. Brilliant conversation between Rich and Chris Williamson.

It is incredibly important that we use all of our energy and every modern tool at our disposal to build products that make home ownership easier. We must make the process of buying and selling a home less…
Hard-hitting exchange from an interview on the pursuit of meaning vs. happiness…
Question: What do you say to people who don’t pursue their dreams, because they feel trapped in their careers and are too afraid to take risks and pursue something meaningful.
Answer: The first…
Coach Raveling was a true inspiration. I never had the privilege of meeting him personally, but I’ve listened to hours of his interviews. His love for learning left a real impact on me. Even in his 80s he remained a voracious reader and preferred the company of young people…
The Seven Deadly Sins…of Founders
1) Giving away equity too early. If you offer sweat equity, employees should earn/vest it over time (years).
2) Hiring friends with no pertinent skills. It rarely ends well.
3) Tolerating the schemer. If he/she is constantly tearing…
I recently caught an interview with Kevin Kelly — author, polymath, and a man Tim Ferriss calls “the Most Interesting Man in the World.”
Kelly suggests (I’ll paraphrase) that we each have our own genius, but discovering it is often difficult. For most it takes a lifetime and…
Lately I’ve been preoccupied with the idea of “vocation,” which literally means “calling.”
Some say you have a life’s purpose, perhaps one that’s even preordained. But what if you don’t know yours? I’m fifty, and despite my incessant soul-searching, I’m not sure I could tell…
If possible, don’t raise capital to start your business. Start on a shoestring budget, and avoid giving up equity.
If you must raise capital, only raise what you need to go prove your business model to yourself and investors.
Then, once you’ve proven your model, go raise more…
