@JesseTinsley It’s difficult to keep post-close surprises to a minimum. Crucial to build trust pre-close and get everyone comfortable sharing info and buy into the vision

@andrewkornuta Really well drawn analogy to language. Technology solves so many of our problems and will continue to, but strong communication through the supply chain mitigates those problems

@markbdelaney @BookNoteApp A couple ideas from Hard Things have stuck with me, but it’s not the end all be all. Why don’t you like it?

@wealthMAinsider Seems like a lot of M&A activity from what I’ve seen. Is it just large players acquiring individual books of business or is the PE roll up in full swing too?

@ConnorAbene In professional services, the luxury of being picky is unmatched

@SlumRNA_Dog Good replies here already, but I’d add:

Most carriers are in decent shape, the discount carriers are struggling because the cost advantage they provide isn’t all that high and it’s tough to buy narrow-body planes right now so maintenance costs are high, which hits them harder

@cthallett An employer is lucky to have you, brother

@valueterminal This is how overnight success occurs right? I want that

@paulswaney3 @ me next time, Paul

@de_wade1 @girdley Couldn’t agree more. I make all the same assumptions when I see people are super into bitcoin too

If I remember correctly, the Osprey (and all variants) crash less frequently per 100,000 flight hours than the Blackhawk But the total flight hours are so different that it’s pretty tough to compare.

I think everyone can safely agree that flying anything marines operate is dangerous

@joelmfg Haha why do they hate providing data so much? It does make HAVING information much more valuable relative to other industries though

[Aaron Yaniro @AaronYaniro]

@markbdelaney No me:

[Aaron Yaniro @AaronYaniro]

@markbdelaney Haha my second question to him (after the normal military back and forth I am always forced into) was “do you want to bring on a partner at this place or what?”

He laughed at me.

@gmhogan8 Damn that’s beautiful

[Aaron Yaniro @AaronYaniro]

@paulswaney3 1, 2 and 5

@AlexNoonan6 Still hits, brother

I’m a fan, like anyone else, of what Anduril and other new entrants are doing in the space. More competition is good, of course.

But you’re absolutely right on the contracting piece, folks need to remember what the incentives at play are.

Luckey and others will say the system is broken because they’re trying to break into the system
