I was looking at OpenTable data and Hotel Data this week. As I am back in SF, I have been looking to catch up with friends over dinner.
I can’t imagine how painful it must be to own a boutique hotel or a restaurant. Aside from the many that have gone bankrupt, the ones that survived are still operating under capacity.
The same goes for hotels. I flew 20+ times since October, both in Brazil and in the US. This past weekend my MIA-SFO was completely full. Good.
It’s coming back. Slowly, but coming back. Let’s go America. Let’s come back.

Shoe Dog, the recently published book by Phil Knight (Nike's founder), is a fantastic read that demonstrates how challenging it is to build a global business.
I am a voracious reader. For me, it is extremely important to read at least for 45 minutes every day. The days I read are better than the ones I don't.
Hold the elevator for someone, genuinely be happy for a friend you love, and even raise millions of dollars for your entrepreneurial quest. Express your joy.
