Today marks one of the most meaningful milestones in Passport’s journey: we’ve signed an agreement to be acquired by Global-e Nine years ago, Passport started with a simple but ambitious vision: Help brands reach their global potential. Since then, we’ve built a proprietary global shipping network that now leads the market in transit times and customer experience, along with a full suite of solutions that supports brands at every stage from cross-border enablement to in-country operations and marketplace management. And most importantly, we earned the trust of incredible brands and 3PLs around the world. What makes this moment special is that great companies are bought, not sold. As we continued to build for the future, Global-e approached us because they saw the value in what this team built: our logistics infrastructure, our operational depth, our customer relationships, and our approach for enabling global commerce. This partnership is so exciting because our visions to help brands go global are deeply aligned. Together, we can help more brands expand globally, faster and more confidently, with a more complete solution than either company could offer alone. To our customers: thank you for trusting us with your brands, your growth, and your customers around the world. Many of you took a chance on Passport early, partnered closely with us, pushed us to improve, and helped shape the company we are today. To our partners: thank you for helping us build a truly global ecosystem. Cross-border commerce is impossible without strong operational and strategic partnerships, and we would not be here without you. To our investors: thank you for believing in Passport’s vision from the beginning and for supporting us through every stage of growth. Your partnership, guidance, and conviction helped us build a company capable of redefining what global commerce can look like for modern brands.  And to the Passport team: thank you. This moment belongs to all of you. Thank you for the late nights, the ownership, the resilience, the creativity, and the belief in what we were building especially during the hard moments. What this team accomplished over the last 9 years is extraordinary, and this acquisition is a direct reflection of that work. I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve built together. And the best part is we’re just getting started. Press Release here: investors.global-e.com/news-…

My guest today is Paul Tudor Jones (@ptj_official), one of the greatest macro traders of all time. He correctly predicted the 1987 stock market crash and shorted the Japanese bubble in 1990. For over 40 years, his flagship fund has had a negative correlation to the S&P 500. 100% of his returns are alpha. He says today's market has so many similarities to 2000, "the easiest bear market I've ever seen in my whole life." He makes the case for going long dollar-yen, why Bitcoin beats gold as an inflation hedge, and why he was wrong about Warren Buffett. But what I'll remember most from this conversation is Paul's zest for life. He's 71 and still wakes at 2:30 every morning to trade the London open. He works out for two hours a day. He walks with his wife every evening. He travels the country chasing peak spring and peak fall. He's so excited about the songs picked for his funeral that he wishes he could be there to hear them. Paul has lived five lifetimes in one. He's one of the most entertaining and interesting people I've met, and the conversation will leave you searching to be as passionate about what you do as he is about what he does. Enjoy!

I'm excited to share that Brev.io has raised a $3.3M pre-seed round, led by @ResoluteVC to build the AI-native layer between business goals and work. Most AI today is doing execution work in a vacuum. Without your goals, metrics, and live progress in the context window, you get motion without alignment -- it's the missing link in a lot of AI deployments right now. As AI drives down the cost of execution, the bottleneck shifts to strategy, coordination, and alignment. That’s the gap we’re building Brev to close. $100 in free credits: get.brev.io/free-100 Learn more: get.brev.io/ai-goals We're hiring: get.brev.io/Join-Brev

Vercel AI Gateway now supports video generation. Grok Imagine Video & Image are 🆓 until tomorrow. We used @v0 to create an open source Creative Studio powered by @xai Grok. Create images, videos, or make your own design tool! v0-grokstudio.vercel.app – it's quite fast. Some cool technical tidbits: ▪️ Vercel Workflows for reliable generation Video generation can take long. Users might restart their browsers or their wifi / LTE might drop. We smooth over that automatically. ▪️ Instant vector search Try searching the public generations. Now back to me. We used @mixedbreadai to index the content visually, so you can search 𝚋𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚏𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 and get a cat (try it!) ▪️ Vercel AI Gateway All existing and future Grok models are accessible via our gateway without extra setup. When you deploy to Vercel, you get access to hundreds of models with a single account and unified billing It's obviously built with @nextjs (RSC). Open it in v0 to make it your own! h/t @estebansuarez for shipping this.
