It's fashionable to tell a leader what they got wrong.

It's almost never fashionable to tell them to go, and that you'll be there.

A compliment is "you're brave."
A commitment is "I'll follow."

Those are not the same sentence.

Leaders and therapists do the same thing—change behavior

It’s 1,000x harder to be a successful real estate investor than it is to create a successful real estate course.

Let that sink in.

VC vs. founder

@Tesla Yo man are us hw3 folks ever going to get the FSD we paid for?

[Beth Azor, “Canvassing Queen” @Bethazor1]

Retail rents:

Bike store pays less than pizza.

Jewelry pays more than karate.

End cap pays more than elbow space.

1200sf pays psf more than 5000sf.

Space with zero visibility pays less than a space with fabulous visibility.

Space with a lot of parking pays more than a space with limited parking.

The next lease after the one I just signed is more psf than the one before.

THIS is WHY I don't put rates on anyone line sources.

@Bethazor1 Pitches also make good roofs and are great for soccer. 😜

I like what Kendra Scott said about making a connection before a transaction at ICSC.

@JamesSurowiecki @chamath is was replying to a conversation with @mcuban on how to set this up. You’ve pulled it out of context.

Political season has brought out the worst in many people.

Extreme division in itself is a bigger danger to our nation than either candidate.

Don't believe anyone who's telling you to hate the other side.

We're in this together 👊

Tomorrow, go vote.

@vkhosla Sharp as a tack!

[Andrew DeRamus @AMD_Ramus]

@NotALegume Valid.

Two weeks ago versus today.

[Andrew DeRamus @AMD_Ramus]

It’s cliché for a reason: why you do what you do is more important than what you do. Without the why, the what will grind you up.

[StripMallGuy @realEstateTrent]

Don’t know when it will make financial sense for folks to build apartment buildings again.

Many of those folks are getting crushed.

People don’t like developers.

They think they only make lots of money.

No.

They provide housing.

And they risk losing it all.

Which many are.

Pro-tip: When buying an investment, make sure you analyze the right things and less about your feelings on it.
Risk is an assessment of the balance among what is known, assumed, and unknown, and the correspondence between what is to be achiev'd, and resources available.

@DavidSacks @MarcBodnick If we (USA) are shooting 155mm in hate and not advanced weapons like LRASM, MALD, SLAMER GBU etc we have already lost more than we could have imagined. The 155mm is for other nations to buy favor.
