You can't fake that look. The passion. The intensity. The belief. What an Interview from Mikal Bridges here. 0-0.

We updated our 4 company values this week to keep up with how the company has changed. Here's what I shared with the team internally. I hope it could be helpful for other companies.

I used to phrase it as: Startup CEOs can’t share their troubles with their employees because they’ll quit. They can’t share with their investors because they’ll get fired. And they can’t share with their spouse because she will say “You never should have quit that job at the phone company!”

Work with your brother. Go into debt if you have to.

My brother Dan has been writing the Weekly Dose of Optimism for three years. Last week was his last. Create is runrating ~$85M profitably and he needs to focus on that. It's been a dream come true getting to work with my brother. Thanks for everything, Danno!

The number of people that think this refers to gross scores is surprising. I am NOT talking about their gross score. I am talking about their handicap index.

there’s a mobile app niche no one’s touching. imagine a food diary w/ AI: - tracks how you feel - detects bad food for you - fixes your gut health there are 0 competitors and a huge market (don’t track calories). someone will make $$$ with this.

Battle of the Network Stars Between 1976 and 1988 some of the biggest names in TV battled it out in a sports extravaganza, including Lynda Carter, Adrienne Barbeau, Billy Crystal, Farrah Fawcett-Majors and many more. Telly Savalas even captains a team while smoking, just glorious

1/ One of the interesting and weird things about Silicon Valley is that no one really cares about what you did 10/20/30 years ago… unless you’re also doing something interesting today.

When I was young I fixed my parents’ computer and now that I’m older I fix computers for my kids. Are we the only generation that knows how computers work?

Patrick Collison on craft

Been thinking about Max and the week he's having. Max is relatable because his career has had a crazy arc. He's gone from not even being able to keep his card to being a top 15 player in the wold and a Ryder Cup star in six years. That's a fun and interesting narrative. But he's likable because he's vulnerable. Combine those two realities (dug-out-of-the-dirt success vulnerability), and you have somebody who is extremely easy to root for. There is a strange and perhaps silly thing that Max does that has always stood out to me. When he goes on the NLU pod, he always ends it by saying, "Love you guys." It is a thing that maybe a lot of us say to our friends, but most of us don't talk to our friends in front of thousands and thousands of people. It's not a big thing, but it's a sign of his willingness to be vulnerable at any and all times. Being vulnerable (in other words, truly caring) as a professional golfer means getting your heart shredded over and over again. If he wins today, he will weep. If he loses today, it will hit him at some point later on and he will also weep. I find it endearing when people care that much about their craft, their work, the moment that they're in. His quote. The one from Saturday. "If I catch myself thinking about what could go wrong, I let myself dream about what could go right." Dreamers are easy to root for, especially when they have fashioned success from tremendous failure. Especially when they share what they have learned along the way. Especially when they're willing to give you their heart because they truly don't know any other way to live.
