Something I'm learning the hard way in this world is that being a substantive thinker and value creator is a downside in a world that runs on nepotism, incompetence, and personal relationships. This has been one of the hardest lessons to learn as an operator turned investor.
As an immigrant and daughter of a scientist, I was taught to show "proof points" of my worth, show people work in advance, instead of selling them on the dream. What I had to learn is the power of reality creation and selling people on you --betting on you, not your work.
I'm still wrapping my head around this as I dive deeper into the venture world, wanting to prove myself to founders and LPs. I guess you could say this evidence-based thinking is a symptom of the "Model Minority" myth. I need to do less proving & more selling on the Bo Ren DREAM.
Everyone who bets on me early gets preferred shares of the BO$EFINA stock. 🤑

52% of the wealth in the world is now managed by women. Let that sink in. And yet it is stigmatized for women to talk about money. All my investing, personal financing, stock speculation chats are with groups of male friends. Let's change that.
Stale data here: businessinsider.com/women-now-cont…. It's gone from 51% to 52% recently.
Wow this really blew up. If you would like to chat about wealth management with me, please feel free to DM and I can route you to our @SVB_Financial Private Bank. I'm also working on a financial literacy workshop for first gen/women/BIPOC founders so please stay tuned!

1/ Find your goalkeepers instead of your gate keepers 🥅
2/ In Marc Ecko's book Unlabel, he talks about the concept of gatekeepers vs goal keepers. Most entrepreneurs obsess about the opinions of gate keepers: VCs, press, critics, peers etc—often distracting themselves from building with authenticity.
3/ Goalkeepers on the other hand are people who tell you what you’re actually doing is valuable and empower you to keep creating. They show not tell through actions: angel investing, buying your product, using your services, and engagement in your content.

Finished Ted Lasso. Man, what a great show. Looking forward to the Medium thought piece about his positive coaching style and how that translates to leadership in corporate America.
1. Love how he individualizes each player's strengths and weaknesses. He makes sure each player reaches their unique potential.
2. His optimism and earnestness really creates a reality distortion field for others. He embodies "kill them with kindness" and it only works b/c he's 100% genuine.

One thing I'm learning is rewiring my brain to move away from obstacles and risk mitigation mindset to risk-taking. As a 1st gen immigrant, I have internalized a lot of limiting beliefs. I am indeed capable of more risk than I believe. I am capable of doing more than I perceive.
When perceiving obstacles you search for ways something *can't* work so you're not seeking opportunities. It's all about shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. There are limitless opportunities in this world.
Scarcity mindset means you're always proving yourself, proving your work, proving your worth. Abundance mindset means you instantiate your worth, bet on yourself, and find people who truly *see* you to rally around you.

The “substackification” of knowledge workers is happening bc people are increasingly becoming freelancers. Bc you don’t own your own patents or IP working for institutions knowledge workers are looking for ways to create a portfolio of thoughts, opinions, and unique perspective.
When people hire for non-task oriented roles like PM, VC, and consulting they are evaluating candidates on their taste, thoughts, and intellectual palette. Hence, why writing and sharing your ideas openly is so important.
As industries and labor markets become outsourced and overtaken by AI and automation, knowledge work becomes more abstracted and less task-oriented. People will start to hiring more for your opinions, cognitions, and world view.

Apple should take a stance against this to embolden their privacy value prop. The Appstore should not be censored. It’s infringing on the rights of app creators and sets a negative precedent for a slippery slow of govt censorship and free market intervention.
This is devastating on so many levels. I echo @katherineykwu’s sentiments. This will further estrange US-China relations in an already codependent economic relationship. Our fates are tied.
I’ve learned more knowledge from TikTok than IG and FB combined. TikTok breaks the filter bubble and forces you to think and learn from creators from ALL walks of life. It’s a cross section of humanity the other platforms don’t offer.
