Some of the sharpest, most independent investors we know will be at Capital Camp this year:

• @verdadcap — Founder of Verdad Advisers

Three very different lenses on where real opportunity hides.

Most of us are living downstream of an invitation we didn't pay for.

Mine came on a frisbee golf course in Colorado, from a young life leader who asked me one question I've never forgotten.

Who was the invitation in your life?

Woof this didn’t age well.

Do yourself a favor and give this reflection a slow read.

New essay on @BenSasse and the question I can't stop asking myself.

How can a dying man without the ability to grow skin on his face radiate a joy, levity, and peace that the rest of us are starving for?

There's a real market for @Tesla, and eventually humanoids, in the 80+ crowd.

How many stories have you heard about a grandparent who won't drive more than 10 miles? That's a tiny life.

And don't tell me it's the tech. My nana sends me reels on Instagram DMs.

The friction is trust and setup, not the interface.

A story I’ll never forget:
Years ago, while working @TheCrossingCoMo, a student with special needs arrived at my office in the middle of the school day, clearly overwhelmed. I asked what brought him there, and he told me he had left school because he was having a really hard day.

He wanted to go somewhere that felt safe, so he came to the church. To my office.

The school was 3 miles away.

Video going viral of kids going to their pastor’s home asking for prayers after seeing something upsetting.

Two more speakers are locked in for September. Both have built businesses that most people haven’t heard of. Both have numbers worth knowing.

Cris Burnam (@StorageMart): 298 stores, 3 countries, $9B+ in deals. HQ’d in Columbia, MO. Went public, got acquired for $650M, started over, built it back, closed a $3.2B deal.

Tim Paulson (@ESS_emerysapp): $1B+ Midwest construction. 100% employee-owned. ESOP allocations hitting $133K for an equipment operator. Built in Columbia.

Seeing a lot of clips of China’s AI robot army lately. Honest question: if they’re AI-powered, why outfit them with rifles that have scopes and iron sights?
