Blog postWill Smith writes in his biography that:
Becoming famous is amazing.
Being famous is a mixed bag.
Losing fame is miserable.
The amount of fame almost doesn’t matter. It’s the trajectory that people cling to.
Same with money. I think for a lot of people the process of becoming wealthier feels better than having wealth.
If it’s wealth we were after, most of us would feel great, because most of us are unfathomably wealthier than we were a generatio -
Blog postMaverick is back and given the Top Gun sequel has raked in more than $800 million to date, it is already the biggest blockbuster of Tom Cruise’s career. A lot has changed since the original nearly four decades ago, but the secret to its success lies in what hasn’t changed — its “playbook.”
When one of the movie’s producers recently described how his team approached the script, he highlighted a conversation he had with Cruise shortly before the project started. The message was clear. C -
Blog postA quick story about athletes and investors.
A big difference between professional and amateur athletes is the intensity of training. The intuition of amateur athletes is to push as hard as they can, testing the limits of their potential, maximizing what they’re capable of, grind until you’re broken, no pain no gain.
The training schedules of professional athletes – once a good coach enters the picture – tends to be calmer.
A group of researchers recently looked at the -

Confidence without arrogance.
Optimism without complacency.
Independence without isolation.

Opportunistic without FOMO.
Patience without stubbornness.
Caution without pessimism.

Towards that end, we’ve decided to work with a few partners that foster the type of innovation and breakthrough we look to support. First, we teamed up with Y Combinator to offe -
Blog postThe transportation sector is the fourth-largest global contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, following Energy, Industry, and Agriculture.
In the U.S., Transportation is the largest direct source of GHG emissions, representing 29% of total.
This is why decarbonizing transportation must be a priority.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are a viable solution to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars. But for long-haul transportation – which includes medium and heavy-duty -
Blog postI want to try to explain part of why the world seems so crazy these days.
Evelyn Marie Adams won $3.9 million in the New Jersey lottery in 1986. Four months later she won again, collecting another $1.4 million.
'‘I’m going to quit playing,’’ she told the New York Times. ‘‘I’m going to give everyone else a chance.’’
It was a big story at the time, because number-crunchers put the odds of her double win at a staggering 1 in 17 trillion.
Three years later two math -
Blog postThere are three important facts about bullshit: It’s everywhere, it’s influential, and it’s dangerous.
The amount of publicly accessible information today would have seemed unfathomable 10 or 20 years ago. What used to be hidden is now free and abundant, from financial information to global news to insight into how millions of people live on social media. But are we actually better informed? Are we making decisions? Less susceptible to bad ones? Sometimes yes. But often the answer is -
Blog postThe night before the D-Day invasion, a nervous Franklin Roosevelt asked his wife Eleanor how she felt about not knowing what would happen next.
“To be nearly sixty years old and still rebel at uncertainty is ridiculous isn’t it?” she said.
It is. But my God, we do. And in strange ways.
As we sit here today – the highest inflation in 40 years, rising interest rates, plenty of tech stocks down 50%+, a war in Ukraine, supply chains broken, a lingering pandemic, China on l -
