The “best practices” of productivity are quietly killing your real output.

I’ve built my career doing the exact opposite.

I operate on instinct. I know within two minutes if I’m going to invest in someone. The rest is just sizing.

I don’t have an assistant.
I don’t have an analyst.
I don’t schedule meetings.

If someone wants to connect, I tell them to text me day of and I’ll do my best to make it work.

I keep my time open so I can focus on whatever matters most in real time. That’s how I maximize output.

I’m a founder first. Some days I’ll spend hours on FaceTime with a founder talking product, KPIs, fundraising, drafting emails, or joining stand-ups.

I don’t overcomplicate. I make a decision and move on.

I’m rarely at a desk. I do almost everything from my phone.

Calls are for things that actually need a call. Most things can be handled with a text.

If I’m awake, I’m probably working, but family moments come first.

My edge is the flexibility to go deep when needed and the ability to focus on the most important thing at any given time.

My days are always full. They’re just never pre planned.

The best part is that when you don’t schedule anything, people almost always pick up when you call.

Pro tip: If going fully unscheduled feels extreme, ease into it. Start with a couple scheduled meetings per day, then cut down to a few per week. You’ll feel your focus and quality of thought improve quickly.

It may not be for everyone, but try it. You might actually like it.

Being embarrassed by your MVP is not the same as having an embarrassing MVP.

Apple Vision Pro has been impressive but not enjoyable. The AppStore is filled with apps that don't benefit from spatiality. Apps/Games currently feel like "isn't this neat?" and not "wow this is incredible". There's a seriousness about everything. Environments + AppleTV are👌

@CNN Article omits his 1yr old quote about fed ban: “I think that is inconsistent with what we’ve been fighting for decades, which is that we wanted Roe v. Wade reversed and the authority to return to the states. As a matter of principle, that’s what it should be."
