Hey nerds, doing a little meetup in Wellington NZ: Tomorrow (March 23rd) 10AM at Swimsuit Coffee (Lombard St).

I’m in Wellington New Zealand until Thursday 🇳🇿 Thinking about doing a little coffee meetup Thursday morning. Who wants to join?

I want to test this service out. Can anyone help me skip the wait? https://t.co/vNlf0bgEZz

Simultaneously inspired and terrified watching this: https://t.co/HqmH1Gl8v5

Pickle ball players: What product can you not live without?

Is there a men's fashion app that gives you brain dead simple color coordinated outfits? Example: Wear black top, khakis, white socks.

Going to be in New Zealand the 20-28th. Would love to meet some founders! Will be in Auckland + Wellington. Not sure where else yet. Where should I go?

A friend at a pension fund is extremely well capitalized and looking to help companies in need. If anyone is looking for a significant ($25M+) distress bail out due to SVB, email me and I'll intro you.

"Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." –Warren Buffett

A good refresher on why you should hold treasury bills instead of cash. In a bank. Like SVB for example: https://t.co/MbGbbOqQ3R

Going to be in New Zealand March 20-28th. Would love to meet some founders in Auckland or Wellington :-)

"Being in a business with bad economics is like being the shuttlecock in someone else’s badminton game." –Charlie Munger

Here's a big list of incredible Charlie Munger quotes from Buffett's annual letter. "The world is full of foolish gamblers, and they will not do as well as the patient investor."

Has someone made a calendar app that is designed for personal assistants?

My thoughts and prayers go out to Tai's shareholders. Who could have seen this coming? With all that knawledge... https://t.co/SQoYceMDrG

It's tempting to panic about the impending AI revolution. It will undoubtedly cause a massive amount of disruption. But it's interesting to think about some of the industries that *should* have been disrupted by existing technology but haven't been...

Companies are just groups of people. So your company will not grow without the right group of people. The problem is, if you haven't experienced the next level of scale before, you don't *know* what those people look like. Inevitably you hire bozos...

1,000 nerds @myfirstmilpod

What should we talk about at the event tonight?

See you tomorrow, Vancouver! https://t.co/LyrpNXkfqN

Tiny is on the hunt for a CEO for a high end services business. Someone who thrives in unstructured environments + has experience building a world-class marketing org. US/Canada based. Apply now: aman@tiny.com (include your resume). Do not DM or email me directly.

This was me until I read The E Myth. If you aren't good at accounting, hire someone who is and let them do it. Don't feel guilty. You gave someone a job, and they like accounting. https://t.co/LHXEyHHQQH

Can someone hook me up with a Google Bard invite?

Health nerds parents: What do you feed your kids for breakfast? Any tricks to make it healthier? Mine are 3 and 5 and I feel like I’m defaulting to toast and peanut butter (despite many efforts).

AirBnB rental nerds: Could someone review my listing and tell me how to optimize it?

Something I've learned over and over again: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. If you give someone a chance to do something that is a big swing/has low probability of success, then you need to be 100% ready to have them hate your guts with a passion....

Tiny is hosting a dinner the night before the MFM podcast recording in Vancouver. Want to come? Fill out this survey: https://t.co/pJ4k6cWHFu P.S. I won’t be at the dinner but my co-founder @_Sparling_ as well as two of Tiny’s investors will be there!

We put shop into your ChatGPT https://t.co/8Q3e7bfnJt

We’re ok if the inventor of the iPhone gets rich, but we want the inventor of the cure for cancer to do it for charity. There is some learning to be had in this asymmetry.

We've been working tirelessly at @getvesto to support new account openings, so companies can access US Treasury Bills, Money Market Funds, and Cash Sweeps, held at BNY-Mellon/Pershing. Apply for an account at https://t.co/Grt0uPcwVO, and let us know when you do.

This is it, folks. Absolutely insane lines today. Unprecedented run on Starbucks points. Saw several people redeeming their points for free coffees. One man redeemed for TWO breakfast sandwiches. Manager said they may run out of sandwiches today. https://t.co/Io6sI2pbLR

This is basically ChatGPT running on a MacBook. I thought that 12 -18 months LLMs would become commoditized and available to any app developer for free. It's happened in < 1 month! The speed of AI advancement is unprecedented. It's also worth nothing Apple's Neural Engine… https://t.co/x6y6ZojNB2

I've spent my career helping companies like https://t.co/UDQb83LAcF, https://t.co/UdLoxpcyOY, and https://t.co/Q4V5D6n3uY manage their war chest in times of emergency. Yesterday with SVB was wild. A trigger for companies to do homework. I'm advising clients to think about this:

The gov’t has about 48 hours to fix a-soon-to-be-irreversible mistake. By allowing @SVB_Financial to fail without protecting all depositors, the world has woken up to what an uninsured deposit is — an unsecured illiquid claim on a failed bank. Absent @jpmorgan @citi or… https://t.co/SqdkFK7Fld

1 founder year is 5 years of aging

With the recent scare of bank counterparty risks, we’ve been working overtime to support new account openings @getvesto, so companies can access US Treasury Bills with up to 5.2% yields, custodied at BNY-Mellon/Pershing. Get in touch at contact@getvesto.com. We’d love to help.

1/ I got rejected every day on purpose - and it completely changed my life. I was under-confident and shy until I watched a TED talk on rejection therapy. The idea was simple: Get a random person to reject you at least once a day. Build resilience. Rejection means winning. 🧵

‘show up and do stuff, and then do more of what works’ is underrated advice

This was so much fun. Me, @ShaanVP and @awilkinson did a somewhat impromptu live My First Million podcast in Vancouver. It was at theater that fit like 1,300 people and we sold it out right away. We did some meet and greets afterwards. It was pretty epic.

That defining moment in life where you finally get what really matters

Hi Chris, I see that we both have LinkedIn accounts. We should connect!

Who would want a low caff coffee? 20-30mg caffeine per cup instead of 150mg? 🙋‍♂️ https://t.co/1eOMnfVfma
