My Asian American people are under constant attack in broad daylight. Serial robbers target Asians, and even if they get caught, they are released without charge.

Robberies in Taraval are up 40%. There is no accountability

SF DA Chesa Boudin must do his job or be removed
Alameda County in 2020 dismissed only 11.4% of cases, while SF DA's dismissal rate was 40%. This is apples-to-apples during COVID, so you can't let the Boudin supporters blame COVID.

If you care about this, you need to watch trial of Kelvin Chew's killers— a repeat offender arrested in Feb. on 12 firearms felonies. Boudin released him and three months later he killed Kelvin in a botched robbery — at gunpoint.

All eyes will be on this

This young man is dead because Boudin won't do his job. How many more? He was 19.

As you grow as a leader in any org, all of the things in your past (the trauma, tragedies, conflict) that you run away from will pursue you until you confront & integrate them.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” —Jung
I found at times in my life, eg when I rage quit / burned out of my startup in 2010, that I even used that frame.

I put my head in my hands, felt I had no choice, and closed the book on the chapter saying “It was written.”
Now I know that my path was not true because I had blinders on. I was conflict avoidant due to a hard childhood (high ACE score— I recommend everyone know their own. You might be fine or it might surprise you.)

I would fail again and again if I didn’t become aware and integrated

Wow the YouTube comment scammers are working hardcore tonight on my YouTube channel. I assure you, do not trust Mariana Amber just as you should not trust YouTube comments for financial advice. Good god.
Do not trust Brian Allen. This person is a scam artist.

It’s whack a mole too. Seems like they are making hundreds of accounts like this.

This is fixable with a few if statements.
This one is creative, they created a brand new avatar image for me. 🤔

In 2013 I wrote to potential Coinbase Series A investors: "All the Bitcoins in the world today are worth about $300M—up 400% in the last year. With Coinbase at the forefront, I think this is one of the most disruptive opportunities I’ve ever seen." 🚀

This is what Coinbase's early product market fit looked like:
💰 Doing 15% of all transactions on the world's biggest Bitcoin exchange at the time, Mt Gox
♽ Hitting working capital constraints set by their bank daily
🏆 The only fiat-to-crypto onramp w/ a FDIC-insured US bank
Things I got right: fiat to crypto onramp was the key moat, and software eating money is a big deal

Things I got wrong: I underestimated store of value— I was pretty sure medium of exchange was going to be why crypto would expand

Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding is a true masterpiece. Here are the 4 habits of auteurs that help create it—

🛡 MISSION greater than yourself
♟ DECISION without compromise
💥 ACTION with right delegation
🎭 SHOWMANSHIP to set the tone

New vlog—
Video games are crazy violent. But Death Stranding shows it doesn't have to be. A gorgeous, meaningful adventure created by a masterful team.

Lots of lessons for creators in this video.
10X more work than a tweet, a blog post, or probably most podcasts.

I want these videos to be the highest signal thing you consume every week.

New posts every week! If you enjoyed this, please share.

Doubled my YouTube channel subscribers to more than 5000 while also adding 3600 new Twitter followers in the last month

Building a new audience with content is slow and takes forever but I am happy with 2X monthly growth 👌

Creators have to celebrate small wins 🙏
What’s cool is that a bunch of the core metrics seem to be healthy 👌
@MrBeastYT would spend 4 hours on just the YouTube thumbnail

Interesting right? Getting someone to click is half of the war. The other half is retention!

HT @walkeriwilliams for the rec, great podcast with @reedjd_ who manages @MrBeastYT

When choosing a startup idea, you must be able to check either of these boxes

[ ] Truly novel (nobody else has tried)
[ ] 10X better product

The absolute best check both. 99% of startups check neither.

A good pitch is sometimes a strong story explaining how to get the 1st ☑️
One thing I am starting to realize is if you can’t get either, the founder is better off cutting burn and starting over (or shutting down)

One of the hardest convos in the life of any startup

Sometimes you just know. But sometimes your friends have to nudge you. Never easy.
Caveat: 10X better go to market can frequently beat 10X product
