@MehdiNayebi @tobi That’s where you landed from this post? Crazy dude.

@jasonlk @Hash_Vijay Anyone in the events industry could have also told you this

Compare the real events companies to that one, and easy peasy to see it.

@chrishlad Also a team with 50 hours of excellence beats one with 40 hours of excellence every day.

It’s like saying 5 Pennie’s are worth less than 2 quarters. No shit…

In business you don’t compete on a single vector of hours input. Sometimes they’re also brilliant and hard working..

@tibo_maker Interesting you only show until 2021

@elonmusk Sounds similar to a pyramid scheme asking you to purchase the product your selling to prove your commited. Proof of identity can be done cheaply. Perhaps instead of taking the simple verification method ($$) utilize a novel solution.

@nathanbarry Avg growth rate?

[Lucas McCarthy @LucasYYC]

@nathanbarry What was the trade multiple and growth rate of ARR?

@dkubb @zgiarrizzo @shl @rrhoover Angelist isn’t run by people who don’t know how to interview. They feel this is important, and you feel you’re above it. This is simply a matter of not a good fit - nothing more.

@lucy_guo Twitter is nuts

It turns out the cheat code to life is just work ethic.

Good luck if you are trying for a short term angle, because you will be lapped by long term persistence.

@MattGoldenVP Dude also has charted a 453 ft yacht, which seems like quite ironic…

Too many talented & energetic people with lots of options learn this the hard way:

The title, the money, the scope might get you *join* a company, but these things will not get you to *stay* at that company. What gets you to stay is the culture, the growth, and the people.

@lucy_guo My life since ‘14- not because I’m an artist, or cool or anything…

[Lucas McCarthy @LucasYYC]

@mmastrac Time to clean out your network

[Lucas McCarthy @LucasYYC]

@lucy_guo Would’ve been closer with human friends organization. Got it.

[Justin Kan @justinkan]

Traveling is a great way to break your context.

Leave it to Canada to show how to vaccinate their population.
First, despite a late start, they exceeded the % 1st dose ceiling set by Israel.
Now on a tear for 2nd dose, and moving faster than any other major country or EU

@Mweisbrod @jasonlk Less nice CEO’s have a surrounding aura that people usually don’t push deadlines around them. Nice CEOs sometimes that’s mistaken by their team. Conflict arises from the ladder.
