LP QUALITY, WHY IT MATTERS, AND HOW TO DILIGENCE IT
A thread for investment managers, emerging and not.
These are my suggestions from my own experience - I would encourage GPs to chime in here, I know there are people on here that have put a lot of thought into this.
Normalize being private without oversharing. Normalize being kind without taking any shit. Normalize knowing your worth without looking down on anyone. Normalize listening to understand without judgment. Normalize seeing the good in people without ignoring all the red flags.
We need to stop teaching kids:
• learning sucks
• history is boring
• authorities are right
• divergence is wrong
• intelligence = memorization
• regurgitation = education
• your grades determine your worth
• learning only happens in a classroom
What else would you add?
Keeping your personal life private and not telling everyone your side of the story when you're being portrayed as the villain in someone else's story is top tier self-care.
This is an historic moment for South Africa:
Today the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) declared a crypto asset as a financial product under the FAIS Act.
This Declaration was published in the Government Gazette as well as the FSCA website.
8-yo told me tonight when she finds it hard to like someone at school, she imagines them waking up and choosing their clothes, and their parents helping them get ready and hoping they have a good day, and that makes it easier to care for them.
The butterfly does not look back at the caterpillar in shame, just as you should not look back at your past in shame. Your past was part of your own transformation.

Don't match energy. Don't lower your vibe. Don't fit into places you don't belong. You can be a loving person and still honor your boundaries. Only you get to decide who can have access to you. Always remember that.
At this point in my life, I have no desire for revenge. I wish people self-awareness, I wish them self-compassion, self-honesty, change, peace. Life must have been hard for them to behave the way that they do.
I used to get upset when people would purposely misunderstand me, especially when I’d take my time to choose the right words and be clear with my intentions.
Nowadays, I just ask myself: am I talking to the right person for what I’m trying to express? Do they have the range?
I highly recommend wearing your heart on your sleeve.
Highly recommend not being ashamed/scared of how deeply you love.
Highly recommend remembering that it's coming from your heart and is actually an experience of you.
I highly recommend not robbing yourself of you.
