@FDavidsonT I'd love to try the product.

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@ankurnagpal I'd like to give it a try as I prepare my 2025 return.

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@JaredSleeper Thanks for sharing. Really interesting read. I'm a believer on business model change to include more services to help with stickiness and win new deals, when core features/price are similar.

@awealthofcs Have you seen analysis showing the sources of earnings growth brighten down between revenue growth, margin improvement and share buybacks (on the assumption that we're taking about earnings per share or free cash flow per share growth)?

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

AI providing quick and mostly, high quality answers has led me to think deeply about how we can stay relevant. One answer is to ask more and better questions. My thoughts on that topic.

@packyM So true. This is why I write with very limited use of AI. To force myself to express my thoughts cogently which is really, really hard.

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@businessbarista Particularly like #8. Pre-mortem thinking really helps uncover blind spots through inverting the normal thinking process.

@reformedhg I agree it's infuriating. If the people working at coffee shops and other takeout places aren't paid, raise their salaries and raise pricing. But don't require tips please.

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@danprimack Great question. Applicable in many different walks of life, beyond business.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

@AlbertBridgeCap So glad I found it this time on your 6th annual repost. Touched me so deeply - Max, Chica, and Kenny. I have a dog who just had a stroke so the whole story is even more apropos right now.

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@DrNeilStone Yes

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@shaneparrish Sounds great if we can generally agree on what "reasonable positions" means

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@jeffskoll @jeffskoll I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending you my best wishes and hopes for finding treatment that works. I have enjoyed following your career and think back with fondness to meeting you at the GSB.

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@danprimack Maybe a lot more secondary shares being sold as a % of the total raise than other companies?

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@fintechjunkie Always really appreciated your written insights. Please keep sharing your thoughts. And best of luck in building.

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@fintechjunkie I really enjoy your content. And it feels like the algorithm makes it harder than ever to get VC, business, economic, industry content.

Far too much politics. Especially given I'm trying to tune that down a lot.

[Adi Dehejia @ADEHEJIA]

@erica_wenger I've been a fractional CFO / finance leader serving early stage tech companies for the past 5 years after 25 yrs in full time roles.

Happy to help however I can.
