The guy on the left had no clue. No idea what being a #startup #founder is really like.

The one on the right has battle scars, but is still smiling.

5. Comfort is the enemy of growth.

The "reforging" process is uncomfortable by design.

If you're comfortable, you aren't growing.

The view from my hotel room this time around ain’t half bad.

I’m currently sitting in SoHo at Dominique Ansel Bakery eating way too much sugar. The table on my left is talking about #cybersecurity. The one on my right, #AI and imposter syndrome. I must be in some real life version of LinkedIn today.

In-Season @NBA Tournament tonight: @WashWizards v @hornets

[Ian Yip @ianyip]

Didn’t realize I’d be watching Harden’s first game as an @LAClippers player when I got these @nyknicks tickets weeks ago. But here I am at @TheGarden.

[Ian Yip @ianyip]

At the @nyknicks v @cavs game @TheGarden. The rule where if there’s an @NBA game on, I have to go still stands right?
