This weekend I watched this cool fireside chat between Jeff Bezos and his brother. Watch it in one sitting rather than in pieces.
Daily, before I leave my bedroom for the day I stare at this post-it note that says "legacy is built daily". It is a powerful reminder.
It goes well with "Bezos Day 1 policy", or the discipline that I see Sequoia Capital insert in their companies, with their anti-shortcuts approach, mixed with daily paranoia, Grove style.
It reminded me of the importance of family and world exploration.
It made me think that I need to venture out a bit more and not stare at my phone so much.
I doubt that Bezos would have quit his Wall Street job if he didn't have such stellar grandparents that taught him grit from a young age.
Nobody becomes this wealthy and powerful by accident.
Also, I love his approach to dating.
"I want a woman that can break me out of a third world prison."
Same.
This was the shitty and extremely tiny studio I lived in Boulder, Colorado from 2010-2011. It was a tiny place where I started to execute my dreams.
I am back in San Francisco for the 5th time since leaving for Miami. This is an important week for Atman. We will have some public announcements about our first
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.
