I've coached over 30 Olympic gold medals.

I've worked with some of the greatest athletes in history.

Here are the lessons I wish more people understood:🧵

[S. 🏆 @saratu]

Failure is often redirection, but something we don't talk about a lot is how constant redirection causes one to doubt one's own compass, and can lead one to be self-protective in a way that limits the grandiosity of one's ambitions.

Today is my birthday. For my birthday I want people to recommend to me the best nonfiction book they’ve ever read. I’m going to fill up my Goodreads queue. Could be the most fun, life-changing, informative, whatever.

One thing about romance is you can never force it on someone - it has to be two sided.

You could do all things right and still miss it miles off on your first date in their eyes, and it’s ok. Persistence sadly rarely works because you need that intense attraction from the get-go

The only thing you can hold against me when I run for governor is my alleged promiscuity.

The best piece of investment advice I ever received was from a very successful hedge fund PM: “the desk is a dangerous place to view the world from”

If all you are doing is staring at your excel models and charts to come to conclusions as an investor, you are doing it wrong

Even more true today in the age of AI where any sort of information and quantitative alpha is increasingly being competed away

The best source of differentiation today is on site diligence, speaking to customers and employees, and actually building relationships with management

Treat the job more like a journalist than a numbers jockey, and you will have much higher levels of success in an investment analyst seat

David Vélez is the founder of Nubank, a bank with 140 million customers and a market capitalization of $60 billion.

When he started the business in 2013, no one thought it would work, not even his investors. He has faced down regulators, oligopolies, and corruption to build Latin America's largest digital bank. Now he is bringing Nubank to the United States, where he faces his biggest challenge yet.

@gabi_imarques, who grew up four miles from Nubank's headquarters in Brazil, spent time with @velez_david in São Paulo, where the business started, and in Miami, its latest beachhead.

She profiles a man who is no stranger to a fight, having grown up in Medellín, Colombia, when the city was at war with Pablo Escobar. Six-year-old Vélez would pull on layers of sweaters before stepping outside, hoping, as a child might, that the extra padding would cushion any bullets.

The cheating wife calls into a show to ask the host whether or not she should tell her husband that she is currently cheating on him.

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS 💩 UP!

Why do African assets face higher capital charges when default and recovery data challenge current risk assumptions?

I have a female flatmate. That’s not news.

She has a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. That’s not news.

I am their biological father. That’s not news.

The 2-year-old just slapped the exact centre of my bald spot, stared at the shine, and announced “I found the moon.”

That’s news.

[Beyoncé follows her @MsAdaO]

You better pray for good fortune and that life is kind to you. Because if life conspires against you there’s only so much fighting back you can do.

[Ochuko @DavidAmhewroro]

it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
