Young minds find new paths. Young minds will shape our future. The task our dear elders have is to inspire us, believe in us, listen to and invest in us. Our crazy ideas today, will be tomorrow's practical solutions. Your never too young to solve a problem.
My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:
Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.
That was a short-term loan when I ran out of money in 2008. He did not receive any equity for it.
Antonio’s ownership stems from absolute support, even when it looked like SpaceX would fail, and many investments over 2 decades.
One could not ask for a better friend. He is a great man.

"The one thing money doesn't buy you is friends that believed in you when you had nothing."
@GavinSBaker told Dan this, paraphrasing @PalmerLuckey
It was Dan's answer to the kindest thing:
"Before I started at Jefferies, I had about a 6 or 9 month period where I wasn't working.
My friend Carter let me sleep on his couch.
When I got my job at Jefferies, I suggested to him a bunch of different distressed debt situations.
He trusted me with a few hundred thousand dollars of his money. It turned into a little over a million dollars.
He then rolled that into my fund. It really enabled me to get my business started..
Stan Kroenke is on a generational run right now.
In the last five years, his teams have won the...
• Super Bowl (LA Rams)
• NBA Finals (Denver Nuggets)
• Stanley Cup (Colorado Avalanche)
• Premier League (Arsenal)
He also owns SoFi Stadium, which has hosted the Super Bowl, the CFP National Championship Game, upcoming World Cup matches, and the 2028 Olympics opening/closing ceremony.
Not to mention, Kroenke also recently became the largest private landowner in the United States, with 2.7 million acres.
That's roughly the combined size of Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, and San Antonio.
As we head into 2026, three skills will become even more important..
1) Clear thinking.
2) Translating thoughts to even clearer writing.
3) Ability to divide and keep multiple work streams running in parallel.
Pair this with a drive to just do things and you’ll be unstoppable.
I spent the past week onboarding a couple of beta users onto @SBBankingApp. My favorite part about building something is connecting with customers, listening to their wants, needs, and desires, then translating that into an experience they can fall in love with.
I've enjoyed this from when I started asking everyone I met who they banked with and why (over 300 people and counting), to now delivering a product that will help make doing money simpler and more rewarding for them.
Not all rosy, lots of sleepless nights, but the team is up to it. We shipped 3 new releases this week in response to feedback from our initial users.
I can’t wait for more of you to be able to try out banking through @SBBankingApp. Not too long now.
Here are a few comments from our first customers. "Smooth". Glad we are hitting what will be one of our moats, which is to make banking simple, intuitive, and beautiful.
