Thank you, Coach Hixon for everything you have done for this program. My family and I are forever thankful for your passion, wisdom, and sincere love that you have consistently shown for your players. Here’s to a legend that I’m blessed to have had the opportunity to play for ❤️

[Amherst Men's BBall @AmherstMBball]

Today, our leader for 40+ years made the difficult decision to officially retire from coaching. Coach Hixon gave almost 50 years of his life to Amherst College Basketball and will retire as one of the all-time great… https://t.co/CGR2r36fOK

Obviously I’m biased, but this is worth a listen. @GabeStengel is the kind of founder people would run through a wall for.

Pretty cool to see more of the story behind Rogo out there.

[Grant Robinson @GametimeGrant11]

Couldn’t be more grateful to be part of this team and what we’re building at Rogo. Still feels like we’re just getting started!

My conversation with Gabe Stengel (@GabeStengel), founder and CEO of Rogo.

For years, Gabe and I have talked about how much of an investor's job AI will eventually do and how he is building Rogo toward that future.

Today, Rogo helps some of the world's largest financial institutions research companies, run diligence and execute M&A.

But Gabe's ambition is much bigger. He is building toward investing superintelligence, where Rogo does much of the work inside investment banks and firms and becomes the venue where they do their deals.

It's a fascinating business and has been so fun watching Gabe build it.

We discuss:
- 10,000 agents searching for one great investment idea
- Which investing skills will still matter
- Why Anthropic/OpenAI won't win finance
- "Chewing glass"
- Why the harness around the models matters so much
- Getting rejected by 40+ investors
- Building an AI native Bloomberg
- Becoming a black hole for talent

Enjoy!

Steve Kerr says Roger Federer taught his Warriors team the secret to sustained success wasn’t outworking everyone, it was building a life around your craft you never want to escape from

“I’ll tell you a great story about Roger Federer. We were playing in China with the Warriors in 2017. Roger was in Shanghai for the Masters tournament, so we invited him to come speak to the team.”

“Draymond Green asked him, ‘How do you sustain success? How have you managed to win majors 20 years after you first won one?’ Everyone was expecting him to say, ‘I work harder than everybody,’ the will, all the clichés.”

“Roger Federer says, ‘I get up every morning and I make breakfast for my kids. Then I take them to school and drop them off. Then I go practice tennis for about two hours, and I’ve figured out a really good routine where I don’t destroy my body, but I can get all the work in I need.”

“‘Then I go have lunch with my wife. In the evening, we cook dinner together. The kids are all home from school. We ask them about school. There’s so much joy in the house. We put them to bed, and then I put my head on the pillow and go, “Man, that was just a great day.” And I’ve been doing that for 20 years.’”

“And it was like, yes. That’s it. That’s the formula. That’s what leads to sustained success. He loves tennis. He loves his family. He loves life. It’s not outworking everybody and banging your head against the wall, ‘I’m going to be better than everybody.’ It’s allowing your natural talent to shine through with a work ethic, with a great family life, with perspective, with peace, with mindfulness.”

“It’s perspective. It’s joy. It’s passion. It’s mindfulness. It’s an awareness that we are truly lucky. To get the most out of ourselves, it’s our daily rituals and experiences and love and joy.”
