I've known @AndrewDudum for 20 years. He is one of the highest integrity people I know and has a rare capacity of blending courage to speak out on his convictions with genuine open mindedness and curiosity for the opinions of those who disagree with him. I agree with @dylanbeynon that if you two spoke, you'd probably uncover more nuance and may be surprised to find a lot of common ground. I've seen this play out repeatedly with people who vehemently and/or angrily disagree with Andrew - they engage with him and realize they have more common ground than differences. I've heard Andrew passionately talk about his vision for hims from day one - he's always been mission oriented with a north star of modernizing and improving our healthcare system. I think your missions are more aligned than you may realize

Buddhism espouses eliminating attachments. I've increasingly grown suspicious of whether this is helpful or realistic for most people. Attachment, in many forms, is inherent to living. We can’t live without some form of attachment, be it to people, identities, personal values, and goals. More helpful for me is internalizing a belief that we can grieve the loss of an attachment and emerge on the other side. This involves cultivating an awareness of things which feel immutable and permanent but understanding that they are not, and if necessary, we can let them go.

Very true

[Annelies Gamble @AnneliesGamble]

Investors are driven by either curiosity or FOMO.

Those driven by curiosity listen, ask questions, and are trying to learn more from you than vice versa. They also tend to make better long-term partners through the inevitable ups and downs

If I could give my younger self any advice, it would be to stop listening to so many other peoples’ advice
