If you are starting from the bottom, have reasonable IQ, and good enough work ethic, the best way to build generational wealth is to:
⁃work in tech (doesn’t have to be big tech) - have a career in tech
⁃save
⁃invest

Don’t need to do anything super fancy.

I think it’s the new American Dream equivalent.

I can almost guarantee that you will be in the top 10%-20% population of the U.S. in 10-15 years.

So @coinbase update is borked. Stuck in a login loop asking to verify country. Only option to cancel and can’t login. Annoying AF because was about to trade.

50k+ startup employees have been laid off in 2022. We’re still at the beginning of the tech layoff wave.

I helped run a layoff at Carta in 2020. It was terrible.

Here are my learnings to help founders navigate layoffs:

Today we’re announcing our $12M Series A led by Pelion Ventures!

@greg_white and I have learned a ton about the future of work and polygamous careers in the 2 years since founding @JoinContinuum. Here are our takeaways:

[Nolan Church @NolanChurch]

I led Recruiting at DoorDash, PeopleOps at Carta, and hired 2000+ employees.

Most companies over-focus on recruiting and neglect the current team.

But the best companies disproportionately invest in top performers.

Here’s how 🧵👇

Today @JoinContinuum is launching our new brand to the world!

We realized that we need a brand that represents the stunning executives and companies we support every day. I'm so proud of where we landed.

Sooo much more to come this summer. Check us out https://t.co/NXV4NJws0U

Having survived two previous market resets (2001, 2009), people frequently ask me how this 2022 market reset is different and how it is the same. The obvious similarity is that valuation multiples have collapsed. We went from a "glass very full" mindset to one with many concerns.

5 Qualities Great Leaders Have In Common:

- Grit
- Humility
- Honesty
- Resilience
- Growth Mindset

What did I miss?

[Nolan Church @NolanChurch]

I’m increasingly convinced the future interview process for knowledge workers will be a short contract stint + references. Much higher signal for employers + candidates.

A few 45 min conversations before offer is like a roulette bet. Very little skill involved, just luck.

On Coddling

After my brother’s near-drowning, he had to relearn most things. By “most things” I mean: how to control his hands and arms, how to direct his eyes at something, how to swallow his saliva, how to stand, how to walk, how to talk, etc.

[Prasant Lokinendi @psantloki]

This is why @JoinContinuum is such a powerful idea - fractional, *quality* leadership early on combined with on-the-ground execution creates strong foundations that’ll last you through your first 100 employees in fields like People, Finance, & Marketing
