    Truly believe our (four) kids will benefit in a myriad of ways from AI. We have tried to teach them to be kind, empathetic, highly adaptable and motivated humans. We have no idea what careers they'll pursue, but with that foundation, they will find ways to thrive, no matter how

    We have to re-learn this every 10 years or so Jeff Bezos once asked legendary investor Warren Buffett, “You’re the second richest guy in the world. Your investment thesis is so simple. Why doesn’t everyone just copy you?” Buffett replied, “Because nobody wants to get rich slow.”

    This is becoming an embarrassment. Complete disrespect for arguably the greatest entrepreneur + one of the biggest job creators of our generation. Answer the question: Why is the Biden Administration blackballing Elon Musk and Tesla?

    Most underhyped tech CEO? Might have to be Adobe's Shantanu Narayen. $ADBE valued at $220B, up roughly $200B from when he took over. Short list of CEOs who have overseen +$200B value increase at a software co: 1) Satya Nadella 2) Shantanu Narayen
    Shantanu Narayen Chairman, President and CEO of Adobe, gives his keynote speech to a room of 13,000 marketers on changing the world through digital experiences at Adobe Summit an industry leading digital marketing event, at the Venetian on Tuesday, March 27, 2018, in Las Vegas.

    Good Q from a friend who works at AMD this weekend "Media love to write about Sheryl Sandberg etc (on the topic of women in SV), but never talk about Lisa Su. She runs a $120B company and is the greatest CEO I've ever worked with. Why don't they write about her?"

    Dinner last night w/a successful entrepreneur who just sold 3rd company for >$300M. Asked him his formula. “I bet on people. I don’t focus on domain expertise. I look at the arc. The ambition. Where have you failed? I want people who are smart, have failed and are ambitious.” 😊

    This take is so frustrating. These companies are investing their free cash flow in growth. This means hiring people + investing in innovation. Ex A: Salesforce opex went from $2B in 2011 to $20B in 2021 + # of ees fr 5,000 to 50,000. This is what creates jobs + 🇺🇸 prosperity

    not sure this is an original, but my son just told me he's waiting until he's 99 lbs, then will eat a pound of nachos so he's "1% nachos."
