34. 3x founder. Optimist. Recovering “gifted child.”
Building in stealth. (More on that soon.)
Sharing everything I wish I would’ve known 10 years ago.

Really don’t understand why certain content creators feel the need to post their houses, cars etc in plain view on IG.

We live in the AI era. People are envious & desperate! You’re a couple prompts away from someone running up on you with bad intentions.

Food for thought!

it’s laughable how much venture capital goes into pure nonsense.

In a world full of AI slop, “human made” is the new flex.

If you don’t give up you will win eventually.

It may take 3 years, 10 years, or even 15. But if you don’t give up — if you stay alive, keep pivoting, keep getting up after being knocked down, you will win eventually.

People that refuse to quit have a 100% hit rate of winning.

The absolute lowest NPS experience in the world right now is domestic air travel. Incredibly horrendous experience at every single touchpoint.

You can outsource the work to AI.

But you can’t outsource the understanding that the work was supposed to build.

After watching the first half of Knicks/Cavs Game 1, it feels like this is the JV game and Thunder/Spurs was the Varsity game 😂

People will usually only reveal themselves through patterns…not apologies.

Every successful person survived a season you never saw.

@NBA Until the result of a flop is an immediate loss of possession, these flops will keep ruining the integrity of the game we all love.

You don’t need to call a tech. When someone flops, just blow the whistle and give the other team the ball.

I bet you it stops.

Emotional intelligence is at an all-time low.

Somebody on TikTok said that drinking matcha tastes like photosynthesis. ☠️😂

Everyone wants to be a “founder” but this is what it’s really like.

Most companies die because fair-weather founders start them. Don’t play this game if you’re not cut out for what it’s really about.

[Hubert Thieblot @hthieblot]

Everyone loves the idea of being a founder until:

• You’re 5 years in & growth story is dead
• Your co-founders have all left.
• You have 45 days of runway & 20 families to feed.
• Investors are ghosting you.
• Your competitors are now 20x u

Yet you still have to believe.

There’s a special place in my heart for adults that crave validation from social media.

Not even trying to be facetious or sarcastic — I genuinely hope these people find peace, purpose and internal validation at some point in their lives.

It’s sad to watch.

Money can’t buy style.
Money can’t buy taste.
Money can’t buy charisma.
Money can’t buy character.
Money can’t buy you genuine friends.
Money can’t buy aura.

But most importantly, money can’t make people fu*k with you for YOU and NOT your money.

[TDrew @itstdrew]

Every day I realize more and more that the most brilliant thing you can do as a founder is just not give up.

SO may companies end up shuttering because the founder doesn’t have the resilience and resourcefulness to just stay alive until the win happens.
