I just emailed the President of a $142BN company with an account suspension problem.
He responded within 5 mins:
I will handle it. Email me.
$142BN company. President responds for customer service enquiry in 5 mins. 🤯
Long Shopify.
@harleyf@tobi are special.
Shopify just reported on Q1. The numbers speak for themselves.
→ $101B in merchant sales, second consecutive quarter over $100B, up 35% YoY
→ $3.2B revenue, up 34% YoY
→ $476M free cash flow, 15% margin
That’s what a clear strategy, well executed, looks like.
For Q2 and beyond, here’s what really matters. AI will accelerate entrepreneurship more than any other job.
I shared this April 7th, over a year ago. It's made a tremendous difference inside of Shopify since then. Easy to see the AI pickup on any chart. And I think you can see the effects of a highly AI embracing workforce in Shopify's product, pace, and execution. Everyone has agents as exo skeletons for their own creativity now and knows how to use them. Saying the thing matters. And anyway, this note seemed mildly controversial a year ago and seems obvious in retrospect. Always the best sign that you got something right and early.
I wrote an op ed for the @nationalpost today to say this plainly: Jewish Canadians are being targeted simply because they are Jewish. That is antisemitism. And it is getting worse.

It’s the day that at least a few of you look forward to for a whole year: #LibertyInvestorDay. What news? What comedy? What will #JasonBazinet ask? What will the swag be?
Live from New York, it’s the Atlanta Braves!
Today, the Atlanta #Braves celebrated being the only publicly traded Major League Baseball team by officially ringing the bell to signal the start of trading on @NasdaqExchange. #BATR
