I sat down with Mary Jung, one of the main organizers of the democratic recall of Chesa Boudin.

The key takeaway: Criminal justice reform is necessary, but unsafe streets are not. We must recall the SF DA.

Fact: Less than 45% of SF voters had selected Chesa Boudin in ranked choice voting. He does not and has never had a mandate to do what he is doing to our community.

We wanted criminal justice reform. We never chose unsafe streets in this way.
Fact: Chesa Boudin filed charges in only 13 of 131 felony domestic violence cases in Q4 2020.

He is not doing his job crime, and that means perpetrators get away without any attempt for rehabilitation. This is a disservice to innocent victims and tells people crime is OK.
Fact: In 2020, Alameda County's case dismissal rate was 11.4%. Chesa Boudin's DA office had a dismissal rate of 40% — 3.5X higher dismissal rate

COVID is no excuse. 100s of innocent SF citizens per year will suffer from robbery and violent crime as a result of these policies.
The process was approved on Monday by the city. We're collecting signatures this weekend.

We can make our streets safe again.

Super founders who build successful Unicorns often had years prior experience as a founder from a small exit or failure previously

Practice makes perfect

techcrunch.com/2021/05/18/sup…
This mirrors my experience funding a dozen Unicorns in my 9 years so far as a VC

One thing unique to Initialized though: If you give founder’s more time and they are earnest builders who keep going...

In year 4 or 5 they sometimes find product market fit and skip the fail!
So sometimes what is in short supply is having investors who will support a founder far beyond the lotto scratcher period

When everyone says abandon your losers, that’s when I call bullshit

Founders are not a “shot on goal” they are people and Rome is not built in a day

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

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.
