@dklineii I like this one. I've found that while I'm not intentionally going fast, I make a bunch of mental shortcuts I wouldn't otherwise make. One shortcut I made was assuming a hire had a specific expertise because his prior company specialized in that area.

@greggcombes Haha. I’m a very passive investor - all s&p 500 etfs.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

I remember a VP I worked with in investment banking who told me how he stored all his money in cash. I think about him whenever I think about the crazy 15 year bull run the market has been on.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@greggcombes It's pretty remarkable how poor of investors some people in high finance are.

Saturday night. Wife out of town. Kids with my parents. Time for Popeyes with a strawberry Fanta!

@UIUCTalkshow @BretBielema Great podcast. Often, success & failure is outside of your control or the margin between the two is small. So to hear philosophies from someone who's achieved outsized results (proxying against what's been done before), it's special.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@petergyang Wonderful prompt. Great way to zoom out from the day to day grind.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@ALionEye Agreed. Ranking is also a reflection that the team will likely have growing pains, particularly with a tough non-con.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@mcuban Great podcast. Enjoyed this one a lot.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@kevinyien Isn't that the truth.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@ai Just used notebooklm to summarize an hour long youtube video, very impressive.

@ZellNaval @stephsmithio Haha - I get the sentiment. A guy in my investment banking analyst class is now Head of the Investment Bank. I still associate him with crushing analyst work.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@stephsmithio The tactic I've learned to overcome this - talk to the co-worker about areas you're trying to improve and enlist them to help you / monitor for growth. It helps break the "this person is always the same person" thinking.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@bryan_johnson Totally agreed - I've had to switch from "for you" to "following" to reduce the noise.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@hnshah Good post. Another fallacy is overly focusing on direct competitors (because they feel more tangible) vs. the indirect competitors eating your market share.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@jasonfried Agreed. The most impactful user feedback I've gotten was from people not checking off boxes, but instead committed to speaking their mind.

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@HoopInformatics Great KJ clips - good balance of the good and less than stellar. What's your take on him for the upcoming season?

[Jason Thai @jasondthai]

@ValaAfshar I agree with the sentiment. The caveat id add is this assumes the problem or objective is clearly understood. I often find the greatest value the most senior person can add is defining the shape of the problem.

@jhong @hnshah 100% - quality of frontier Ilm models being a good one. Curious how this might inform thinking on the enterprise purchasing or partnership side. Any examples come to mind?
