The damage from the Palisades fire is now estimated to be as high as $57 billion.

The city of Los Angeles under Karen Bass slashed the firefighting budget by about $18 million and stopped filling the hydrant reservoirs as a cost cutting measure.

Absolutely insane.

The Man in the Arena Razor

It's easy to throw rocks the sidelines—it's hard to step into the arena.

It's lonely and vulnerable, but it's where growth happens.

When faced with two paths, choose the path that puts you in the arena—choose the path with real skin in the game.

One month ago, @saurabhsharan and I decided to take advantage of quarantine to build a side project together. We gave ourselves two simple constraints:
1. Must solve a problem for ourselves and for people we know
2. Must design, build, and launch within a month

Work is either 1) a job you do to earn the money to pay for the life you want 2) what you do to achieve your mission, or some mix of the two. I urge you to make it as much 2) as possible, recognizing the value of 1). If you do, most everything will go better than if you don’t.
