Today I sit down with @nateliason - founder, writer, and now launching @AlphaSchoolATX, a new entrepreneur high school in New York City.

Tuition is $150K a year. The promise: every student hits a million dollars in gross profit by graduation, or the family gets their tuition refunded. The first class is around 20 freshmen. The day is split between AI-driven academics in the morning and business building the rest of the day.

This is also the Nat who in his spare time built Felix - an AI agent he gave a Stripe account, an email, and an X handle, then told to launch a business overnight. Felix has done $60+K in sales since. Nat has not touched the code.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

Enjoyed the conversation with @labunleashed on @BreakPrecedent

Ownership is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools we have, but in many cases, it’s still a gated system.

In real estate especially, incentives, regulation, and legacy processes make change harder than it should be.

That tension is what led to Pacaso.

Had a great conversation with Miles Fisher on Coffee with the Greats — discovering the through-line from my early days in law school to selling a real estate tech company to Zillow, to building Pacaso. We got into early entrepreneurial lessons, chasing passion over paychecks, and what marathon running taught me about building companies.

Thanks for having me on, Miles. Full episode → https://t.co/SZ5xP7CVbU

lmfao fucking genius move by Apple.

Siri now becomes the #1 AI model without ever running its own model or spending a dollar on training 😂

let me explain:

- Claude, chatgpt, gemini can now plug into Siri’s 2.5 billion users

- so Siri becomes the default interface for AI chatbots = gets ALL the credit

- Apple will likely tax 30% of all chatgpt, claude subs via appstore = more $$$$$

- Apple becomes the distribution layer for everyone else’s AI. taxes the app layer

- oh and apple STILL HAS ACCESS to gemini’s model weights to build their own fucking foundation model 😂

silver lining for anthropic: they’ve been behind in consumer users - now apple gives them access to 2.5B of them 👍🏽👍🏽

the AI economy will run on ios and apple and they barely lifted a finger to do it

genius

Appreciated the chance to share with @FOURMagazine how second home ownership with @PacasoHomes is evolving.

For a long time, it’s come with a lot of friction. Not just in buying, but in actually using and enjoying the home.

That’s the problem we set out to solve with Pacaso.

Grateful to share that @PacasoHomes has been named No. 5 out of 500 on Forbes’ list of America’s Best Startup Employers for 2026.

Top 10 for the second year in a row.

Proud of our team. This recognition reflects the people who show up every day and build with care.

Thank you to @Forbes and to our employees who make this possible.

Appreciate @JustLuxe taking the time to really understand what Infinity by Pacaso has set out to do.

This piece captures a shift we’re seeing more of: ultra-high-net-worth homeowners no longer want to own just one place; they want the freedom to experience the whole world.

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.

It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city.

That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

Thank you to @RobbReport for this feature on Infinity by Pacaso!

We built Infinity around a simple idea: Ownership should reflect how people actually live, not limit them into one version of it.

Grateful for the perspective.

The past five years at Pacaso have been a dynamic journey filled with invaluable learnings, from the early days of explosive growth to scaling in ways we never could have anticipated.

Grateful for everyone who’s been part of the journey. Thanks @Entrepreneur for covering our story: https://t.co/gSdRSMsfRq

+1 it’s sad to see us push some of the smartest and most impactful people out of our beautiful state

[Andy Fang @andyfang]

I love California. Born and raised there

But stupid wealth tax proposals like this make it irresponsible for me not to plan leaving the state. This Class B thing itself could wipe me out.

Being founder-led is a big part of what makes DoorDash special. I will fight to keep it that way.

[Austin Allison @GAustinAllison]

Such an inspiring model!

Excited to share that @PacasoHomes has partnered with @FredrikEklundNY!

We’re aligned on what today’s buyers value most in ownership. This partnership is hands-on, with Fredrik spending time at Pacaso homes, meeting buyers, and engaging directly with our community.
