In 2015, I took a sabbatical from a plum role at @PUMA that unintentionally lasted 2 long years.

While I eventually landed in a fulfilling role at @Discovery in 2018, lessons from that long break gave me the courage & self-belief to set out on my own in 2022. (1/6) 🧵

@kunalbhatia91 @hexoai Kudos @hexoai!

@codewithimanshu Is he really the Head of Claude Code as you called it? Or a Member of the Technical staff that he says he is.

@nishikoripicks Remember seeing his interview the the @NothingMajorPod folks. Really genuine chap who’s rising through the ranks.

Separately, when he beat Djoko, some of the BH winners down the line were screamers.

@RanaAyyub @RonanFarrow Is there anything in here that the world already didn’t know. All that board ousting stuff is so 20th cehtury.

[Issac John @Iszzak]

@RichLassiterMD @RonanFarrow @NewYorker @andrewmarantz I have the same question. Any reason you didn’t venture here @RonanFarrow? Everything you mentioned in your thread seems to be out there - lying, untrustworthy, plays fast and loose with rules et al.

@aakashgupta Fab note!

Life's too short for bad books but long enough for bad movies.

@Zwxsh Nadal. I was so blinded by Roger’s brilliance that it took time to appreciate his.

Dhurandhar is a 10 on 10 film.

Part 1 was 8/10. Part 2 a solid 2/10.

I read in passing somewhere yesterday that India has risen from 118 to 116 in the Happiness Index last year.

People truly underestimated the role of a fully completed, operational Andheri East-West flyover on the collective happiness of our people.

Yo @TennisTV - how about we do something abut this app of yours?

[Issac John @Iszzak]

@aymanalabdul Tennis.
Being present
Books
Ready access to certain Woody Allen, Kieslowski, Wong Kar Wai & Kubrick films

Not a flex or a signal. And I am sure this will be an unpopular opinion here.

But if you're a Founder, you'll love working, when no else is working; when others are sleeping or glued to a semi-final!

Your default mode will be that "9-9-6" is table stakes.

@marcrandolph Super valuable!

@Taylor_Fritz97 @josemorgado @Djoko_UTD You’re good Taylor! Don’t sweat the small stuff.

@Zwxsh No matter how you look at it, clearly #1. 😀

@Nithya_Shrii Cut pictures of my favorite sports stars in action meticulously from magazines like Sports Star/ Sports Illustrated and pasted them in a scrap book with my handwritten notes.

Don’t post on @X @XCorpIndia today if you aren’t at the India AI Summit.

All I am here for, is to dip into the algorithm by mentioning @OfficialINDIAai Summit 2026 twice, in this post.

You can come back here to see if lazy hacks like these work.

You’re welcome!

[Issac John @Iszzak]

@justbyte_ Tooooo goood!

[Issac John @Iszzak]

This is just to say that last three days, I haven’t had an opportunity to be at the India AI Summit.

And I am grateful for it.
