We cover so much ground in this conversation with friend-of-the-show David Senra (🎙📚) of the excellent-like-I-mean-it-go-subscribe Founders Podcast , I won’t even attempt to summarize it. What I learned most from David is the power of focus and knowing what it takes to do great work. We talk about it in the context of what we do, but I’m sure it translates to whatever you’re trying to achieve. I’...

This is an interesting one that goes in many directions!

Full disclosure: I’m an investor in Koyfin. Not a big one, and I loved the company and products for years *before* I was even offered the opportunity to invest, but I want to make that clear so there’s no ambiguity.

My friend Jimmy Soni (💚 🥃 ✍️) is launching his new book The Founders: The Story of Paypal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley today , on 2/22/22 (best date ever), and to mark the occasion we recorded a wide-ranging conversation yesterday. This isn’t a typical ‘promo interview’ with an author who’s launching a book. It’s more like sitting at the same table as two friends who are catch...

Here’s a mini-pod (14.5 minutes) about my note-taking adventure so far. I wrote about the changes I made a few editions ago, but then I wanted to spent some time just living with the system and refining it to have a better idea of what I thought of it. This is a snapshot in time, giving my current thoughts about why I think it’s worth putting some time and energy into, what the different apps are...

Thank you for your questions! 💚🥃 This is my first time doing an AMA like this. I guess this counts as a 𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕔𝕚𝕒𝕝 𝕖𝕕𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟… I wasn’t expecting questions about the meaning of life, free will, how the world works, and our place the universe, but I like people who are thinking big thoughts. I gave it my best shot. I don’t have all the answers, or even many answers — I just want to learn — but it’s mor...
