Would add "purpose" and "relationship/community" but this is a great list.

Don't Waste Your Life
One of the greatest tragedies is to waste life on insignificant pursuits
24 yrs ago today the trajectory of my life & desires altered when I heard @JohnPiper
Each year I relisten in hopes of fanning the flame that was lit that day

The best episode of the year. Full of great wisdom. Highly recommend printing out the transcript and reading/highlighting it.
Brian on why pure people managers won't survive AI:
"I don't think people that only manage people will have any value in the future.
Everyone's going to have to be a hybrid people manager or manager IC.
In other words, even the managers need to code. You can't just be these managers where you're people's therapists and you're just doing meetings, just one-on-ones.
People who have lots of recurring one-on-ones are not going to survive.
That kind of leadership style is not gonna work. You need to have context.
I hear about heads of design, they don't actually manage the design. Johnny Ive manages the design. He designs and he leads people. A design leader who only manages the people that's crazy to me.
The way Frank Lloyd managed his design team is through the work. You don't manage the people, you manage the work.
I think a lot of people will survive this age of AI.
The two types of people that will not survive are pure people managers, and people that are rigid and don't want to change and evolve."

“The wise, in the next era, are already among us. The craftsman who still works with his hands when the screen would be faster. The student who sat with a painting until the painting changed her. The pilot who could still land the plane unaided. The investor who can hold a position when everyone else is selling. The skill that compounds is the skill built slowly, in friction. There will be fewer of these people. Each will matter more.”

Where Did All the Wise Men Go? by @curiousmindlabs is a must read.
“Anything that does the work for us eventually does the work instead of us, and then the question is what work we can still do when the system blinks.”
Applies to investing, AI, thinking, and many other facets of life.

I need to build a tool in Claude Code to help me keep up with all of the Claude updates
In Cowork, Claude can now build live artifacts: dashboards and trackers connected to your apps and files.
Open one any time and it refreshes with current data.

Joys of Compounding w/ Brent Beshore: Adventures in Permanent Equity
A wide-ranging conversation with our wise, soulful friend and iconoclast of private equity.
Definitely something here for everyone. Including:
🎓 the case for the liberal arts
🧘 the vital role of introspection
😜 being an unserious person doing unserious things
😇 letting Jesus take the wheel
♾️ permanent > private equity
🤔 rethinking conventional alignment of incentives
💡 first principles > convention
🫶 choosing love over fear
🤖 A refreshing and optimistic take on AI
👬 building authentic community
🎾 and, yes, the superiority of tennis over, well, everything
Much love to our sponsors @portraitanalyst and also @eightsleep. Welcome back @m_franceschetti and team! And very timely as Brent was one of the first to share with me the good news of better sleep...available for all who have ears to hear (and a JOYS discount code!) 😴 🤣
TY as always @arudansk the wonderful @colossusmag team 🙏

@buhrman_rick talks about “Shalom” meaning more than just peace, but actually meaning wholeness or completeness
This Bible Project video goes into more depth about the term and is very helpful to understanding the concept of Shalom

“The question is not whether AI is good or bad, but instead how it is forming us”
Excellent essay on choosing to slow down, wrestle with questions, and be formed by the tension.

Lots of gems, but this one was the best:
In order to become king, God didn't give David a crown. He gave him Goliath.
This is my second conversation with @JoshuaKushner.
Josh started Thrive in 2011 and the firm now manages ~$50 billion. We cover the iconic investments that defined it: Instagram, Stripe, GitHub, and spend a lot of time on OpenAI. He explains how Thrive thinks about investing today and the three categories they're currently focused on.
Josh also talks about how he built the firm – why they keep the team so small, why concentration is core to what they do, and what he's learned from A24 about enabling artists to create their best work.
Throughout the conversation, Josh shares the personal stories that shaped him, from his grandmother surviving the Holocaust to lessons from Stan Druckenmiller and Jon Winkelried at formative moments in Thrive's history.
Enjoy!
