Endurance teaches patience. So does building things. For a while now, we've been working on a website update for @goathlos. Iterated, simplified, and agonisingly rebuilt more times than we'd like to admit. The idea wasn't really to redesign the website. More on lines of let's build a space that feels more like the world we're trying to create. Unhurried. Intentional. And a lot closer to the way we experience movement, endurance, and the outdoors. It's now live: goathlos.com Here's to becoming more us.

Hi twitter, our new website is now live. We didn’t want it to feel like a storefront demanding continuous attention. We wanted it to feel like something you could spend time inside, a field journal about trails, tracks, and endurance. Explore it here: goathlos.com

Sebastian Sawe's breakfast on the morning he made history? Two slices of bread with honey and tea. Sharda Ugra's piece on the sub-2 marathon is ostensibly about hydrogels and carb loading, but underneath the science, it is really about what it takes to be the 0.001%.

So looking forward. The Midnight Library has been one of the best books I've read
I have no idea if anyone I know is still on Twitter but just in case I want to tell you that my new book The Midnight Train is out today.

Pay it forward, founders. Connect people. Share vendor contacts. Share the agency you’re working with. Share your packaging supplier. Share your due diligence POC number. The strongest founder communities are built when people genuinely help each other grow.

Possibly the most impactful design in my career will be making Clawd the essence of Claude Code. And I have no regrets.
The Code with Claude keynote intro had no right being that cute.

How can you not love ⁦@mybmc⁩ & the State Govt ? No space for new trees & the space occupied by old trees has already been reclaimed by cutting down trees. Such visionary governance.

Today we learnt that if you destroy 1 cr trees of one of the oldest growth forests in the world to build port/hotels/casinos then you can build a township of ~3L people in one of the most seismically active zones in the world and you also get to call it your own Strait of Chomuz.

For @GoAthlos , the brand mission has always been about fostering a love for the outdoors. And what better sport to add to your outdoor adventures than climbing. Our next community event in Bengaluru is a climbing workshop for beginners at Equilibrium climbing station, Indira Nagar.

Raghu Rai didn’t chase images. He waited for them. In an age of speed, that may be his greatest lesson. A beautiful tribute by @rmnth in @FoundingF foundingfuel.com/article/rag…

Amazon MGM Studios which is valued at almost $10 billion is releasing a movie about He-Man this year which will easily make millions of dollars. Meanwhile, the literal creator of the character, who without him that movie wouldn’t even exist, has to rely on a GoFundMe for his medical care. Fucking insane.
‘He-Man’ creator Roger Sweet is suffering from dementia and he’s unable to afford the necessary care. His wife has started a GoFundMe.

This is a photograph of Albert Einstein with an unassuming Indian man you probably haven’t heard enough about. He spent his life working on one idea: women should be able to live with dignity and make their own choices. Thread. 1/14

At 8.45 am on March 19, my colleague @purnima_sah_ left me a message on whatsapp: "I'm on the way. Will reach by 9.45." She was headed to Belapur In Navi Mumbai chasing a hunch. 8 Indian seafarers had just returned after 16 harrowing days stranded in Oman, survivors of a missile attack in the West Asia war. She had been tracking them for weeks. That morning, she showed up at their guesthouse door not knowing if they would speak to her. 🧵(1/8)
