On Hats, Haircuts, and Tattoos
I think about decisions in three ways: hats, haircuts, and tattoos.
Most decisions are like hats. Try one and if you don't like it, put it back and try another. The cost of a mistake is low, so move quickly and try a bunch of hats.
Some decisions are like haircuts. You can fix a bad one, but it won't be quick and you might feel foolish for awhile. That said, don't be scared of a bad haircut. Trying something new is usually a risk worth taking. If it doesn't work out, by this time next year you will have moved on and so will everyone else.
A few decisions are like tattoos. Once you make them, you have to live with them. Some mistakes are irreversible. Maybe youโll move on for a moment, but then you'll glance in the mirror and be reminded of that choice all over again. Even years later, the decision leaves a mark. When you're dealing with an irreversible choice, move slowly and think carefully.

(Hat tip to @tferriss, who once compared making decisions to choosing a sweater, which sent me down this line of thinking.)
@Jason Dude, same. And is more than 1X week. Also, Mollie Stones is the most expensive grocery store everโ always has been! Doesnโt make it sting less.

โWho will win the go-to-market AI race?โ
At @Stage2Capital, we rolled out the GTM #AI Lab to understand innovation in the ecosystem. Within a week, 100+ CROs/CMOs/CCOs opted in and 200+ AI startups submitted. While early, here are some observations.

Every once in a while a building makes you stop and say "Wait, what? That's real? I didn't know we could make places as magical as this anymore!" and this is one of those for me
you need to have both atittudes:
a more general, abstract overall feeling of :
'I need to improve, do more, become better'
but then, in the moment to moment:
'I am exactly where I need to be'
both perspectives will motivate
one long term, one short.
