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.

As Stoics, our motto is to "Live According to Nature". Seneca talks about this in a lovely manner on Letter from a Stoic.
More than a startup or your VC fund, the very first legacy you will build as a man (or woman) is your relationship with your loved one, followed by family.
