We need a better system for distributing ownership and upside with employees
We need a better system for distributing ownership and upside with employees
I’ve been in NYC for less than 24 hours. My ambition and adrenaline has already increased 10x. It really is the greatest city. Anything is possible here.
Over the last 20 years, NYC has dealt with: - A terrorist attack - A financial crisis - A superstorm/hurricane - A global pandemic NYC was never dead. NYC isn't "back." NYC is and always will be unstoppable.🗽
Customers Rule Everything Around Me

When you’re fortunate... be grateful not a dickface
I'm not a traditional founder or CEO. My background is mixed at best. Thus far my path to success (what it means to me not you/them) has been all over the place + full of dead ends. So if you're like me, just know: the time for nontraditional is now & we need you. You got this 🙂
Amazon paid $97 million for Eero, whose execs got a fat payday while rank and file employees got nothing (or in some cases *lost* money) amazing reporting from @realkrauswife who got an inside look at the acquisition mashable.com/article/amazon…
Here's one of my biggest lessons in hiring and building successful teams that I've not heard many others say: Hire people who are nice. That's it. Nice people get along with other nice people. They build trust quickly. They look out for each other...
The team will often take 10x-20x longer to come to the same conclusion you already came to But if you don't let them, you can't scale
One thing that grinds my gears is when **early stage** startup co-founders aren't transparent with each other about the financial health of the business. Even better - be transparent with your employees.
“In my 20's, I worried about what people were thinking about me. In my 30's, I stopping caring what people were thinking about me. In my 40's, I realized no one was really thinking about me very much.” - @adwane
I don’t think investors help companies by telling them to ramp burn pre-product market fit. I often think there would be more successful startups if the startup community (founders and investors) was willing to be more patient.
Reading is not a chore. Reading is theft. It is a robbery. Someone smarter than you has spent 20 years beating their head against the wall trying to solve the problem you're dealing with. You can steal that hard won knowledge and make it yours. That is power.
Thank you @realDonaldTrump for preventing US commercial airlines from crashing in 2017. Your active participation monitoring the flight patterns and safety regulations was greatly appreciated. In 2018 could you please turn your efforts toward preventing wildfires and hurricanes?

For a strong company, financing is a tactic. For a weak company, financing is a goal.
4/5 And yet when the lights are on and it’s time to go, it’s the desire to create that drives the group and the individual members.
