So grateful to host The Crown Prince of Iran @PahlaviReza … Hearing his speak about an Iran the gets along with its neighbors and serves his people is inspirational. May the people of Iran be free #UpfrontSummit

Travis pitches Uber (Ubercab) raising $1.5m at like a $4.5m pre. I scratched my head thinking “taxi lobbies will crush them” - @chrisfralic raises his hand on the spot and says “I’m in for $500k.” He’s retired now. I’m not. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #TrueStory

If you’re married, older and/or have kids do all these things, too. I started my 2nd company with 2 kids, my blog at 39 & lost > 50 pounds at 52. Your potential is limitless if you don’t let age & circumstances define you. You be you whenever you’re ready

If you're young, single and without kids don't take it for granted. The time and freedom you have is a real superpower. Learn a new skill. Launch a side hustle. Start a blog. Create art. Build a community. Write code. Get fit. Your potentials and possibilities are endless.

One thing I’ve noticed starting to travel again. Post-pandemic Uber … SUCKS. Crazy expensive, unreliable & slow. Ultimately - it is unreliable.

1/ Starting a company is hard. It's way more stressful & lonely than most admit. Industry has been a cheerleader for years. But failures will go up exponentially now. I urge temperance in your urge to dunk on founders or funders who struggle. Humiliation + depression is dangerous
