I’m starting to think America’s biggest strength is mindset.
There’s this constant belief that bigger is better and anything is possible.
You can feel it everywhere.

I'm seeing my feed flooded with posts about Europeans realizing that they were lied to about America.
The consensus of their posts is that America is safer, more prosperous, and more welcoming than they were told.
This might be the most powerful effect of the World Cup.

I need to apologise to America because I judged you on stereotypes.
This country is genuinely beautiful.
The people are lovely, the roads are insane and everything feels bigger.
I get the hype now.

History won’t remember the people who said it couldn’t be done.
It will remember the people who did it anyway.
Congratulations Elon.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

RIP to the Legend JG2.
I wish I could have run with you in your prime. Watching races with you at the Thoroughbred Club was an honour, Big John. Hope you’re betting the horses up there ⛅️ 🙏🏼
John Greathouse Jr., for years an integral part of the family run Glencrest Farm, passed away Wednesday. He was 82.
“He was a hell of a horseman. It was great to get the chance to learn from him.”
