Strong opinion: We don’t talk enough about friendship.

That’s why we over-value short meetings and under-value long conversations.

Conversation gets better with time, so spend more time with great friends.

10 hours. 10 days. 10 weeks.

Exponential benefits.
It’s simple.

The single best lifestyle change I’ve made this year is spending less time in short meetings and more time in extended conversation.

Louder laughs.

Stronger friendships.
Find your tribe. Then... team up and support each other.

This paragraph from @johnolilly is a 10/10.

Amazing day with amazing people.

Spoke on a panel with some of my favorite people on Twitter: @jposhaughnessy, @morganhousel, @EricBalchunas, and @ROIChristie.

Thanks to Bloomberg for hosting.
Some thoughts on the panel...

Here’s why Twitter is so valuable!
I recently interviewed @EKANardini, the CEO of @barstoolsports.

We talked about what it means to be an internet native.

And today, @EricBalchunas asked me what it means to be “from the internet.”

Here’s what I said....

A 4-Part Theory:

1. Recruiting is hard, but very important.

2. The best employees are 10-100x better than average ones.

3. The best employees want to work on the hard and interesting problems.

4. The harder the challenge, the EASIER it is to build a billion dollar company.
This paragraph from @mmcgrana adds some important nuance.

Thread: #CSLewis on #friendship

A major theme of the #Narnia books is friendship

The opening scene within Narnia in the 1st book to be published (Lion, Witch & Wardrobe) is the faun Tumnus pretending to be a friend to Lucy.
The last scene of the last book (Last Battle) is Lucy with her oldest Narnian friend, now a true friend, Tumnus.
We know that Lewis thought there should be novels about friendship because he complained in his 'Four Loves' that there weren't any.

This is a big hint why his novels written much later cover the theme so thoroughly.

We’ll see this theme runs through every book.

*THREAD* for the first time in ~10 months I read my sister’s story, in her words, of what happened in Las Vegas 10/1/17. I still can’t read it without breaking down but this election is too important to not share her experience. @shannonrwatts @MomsDemand @Everytown 1/
@Jason_Aldean they were so thrilled to see you that night. 2/
Like everyone there, they didn’t know if they’d live or die. 3/

hearing—"#China's Worldwide #Military Expansion" is a dramatic bellwether of growing concerns in Washington & beyond.

Now online—hard-hitting arguments + many data points, some deeply-analyzed yet hard to find elsewhere in public domain:

CAPT Jim Fanell, USN Ret, former @USPacificFleet N2:

"today, the PLA Navy consists of over 330 surface ships & 66 submarines, nearly 400 combatants. As of 4 May 2018, the @USNavy consists of 283 battle force ships: 211 surface ships and 72 submarines."

"By 2030, it is estimated [by Fanell & @SCheneyPeters in their chapter in @NavalWarCollege @ChinaMaritime Studies Institute's Chinese Naval Shipbuilding volume amazon.com/Chinese-Naval-… @USNIBooks that] the PLANavy will consist of some 550 ships: 450 surface ships & 99 submarines."

I got rejected for a role I was hoping for today. I did 3 interviews with the company. The feedback on where it all came undone was that my view of estimates and roadmaps didn't sit well.
I am really struggling with what to do with this feedback. The company told me, several times over, that they were trying to be more agile.
When I pressed them about what that meant, they said they wanted to enable ownership and empowerment within teams.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:

1. I've held back on writing about the wave of sexual abuse allegations. It is a highly emotionally charged issue and any treatment of it runs the risk of causing pain. But, as I watch the #MeToo movement used as a political football, I feel it's time to navigate the subject.
2. It's my intention to find the balance of compassion and pragmatism and to highlight the nuance of the phenomenon, as the value of this time in history risks damage from partisan politics and labels of hysteria.
3. Why this is happening now is a direct response to the election of DT - a man accused of sexual assault 16 times, with a long history of publicly demeaning women and well-publicized audio detailing sexual assault in his own words.
