Finance & tech by day. Dad of toddlers by night. Out for a run as often as the aforementioned permit.

AI has collapsed the cost of building products, but not the cost of knowing what to build.

- The old loop: spec, scope, build
- The new loop: build, play, design, ship

Prototypes are cheap. Great products still require taste, judgment, and a clear understanding of what users actually need.

Rapper/ businessman Nipsey Hussle was killed Sunday in front of his South-Central LA businesses.

Vigils were held across the nation this week.

Who is this man, that rappers, gang members, & the LAPD all unite in mourning him? @prophiphop writes truth. https://t.co/vvaxnOfxuW

#JPMCoin is as much crypto as are v-bucks on Fortnite. Not even sure stable-coin is appropriate here. Semantics aside, super cool to see blockchain and smart contracts explored in this space and on a live platform. https://t.co/gbV155HMZI

Jumped in a crossfit w/k with @Rschnepp this morning. Spent the latter half trying to keep breakfast down while she ripped through the whole thing nearly rx. Super proud. Severely humbled.
