Today marks my 10th year being sober
May 5, 2010, 3 days after I graduated from college, I totaled the car, got 4 tickets & I got arrested
That day I decided to change my life
I almost died many times before that but today I reflect on lessons from the last decade w/ gratitude
How dope would it be if
@duolingo
entered you in a raffle to go on an all expense paid trip to the country for the language that you are studying if you maintain a 365 day streak?
For example, if you do it for Portuguese, you enter a raffle to go to Brazil 🇧🇷
Is it just me, or are there more purpose driven founders and venture capitalists moving to the Bay Area?
Feels good to meet people that dream of solving problems further down Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs

It’s a new era
When applying to YC was a stretch goal. Grateful that we have the things we prayed for back in the day now. Really excited about our growth in the next 5-7 years...

Black Unicorns Are Coming
Most people hate to admit they’re wrong, but it didn’t bother Bill one bit
All he cared about was what was right, not who was right
That’s what makes Bill very, very dangerous

Iris graduated from a Coding Bootcamp (Nov 2017)
She's a teacher that wanted to get skills to create social justice apps
We got her a scholarship, but she had to get a loan to live in the Bay
Can you help us cover her basic needs during her job search?
Today is my 36th birthday. My word for the year is: Nemawashi (根回し) - a Japanese business informal process of quietly laying the foundation for a change or project by talking to the people concerned & gathering support and feedback before a formal announcement. Stay tuned 🇯🇵
Today is my birthday. 37. Feeling blessed to be a builder during this time in history. For some of you it's still Friday, but I'm in Japan right now, on Saturday, March 30, in the future, thinking about my purpose and what I have been chosen to do. Grateful to the believers.

There's a difference between controlling your emotions and suppressing your emotions
Pretending you don't feel a certain way and being unaware of how you actually feel will damage you more than you know
Would you listen to a podcast where successful people interview their parents and ask them about their thought process and approach to how they raised them?
Upbringing matters
Defining moments in your childhood often lead you to becoming who you are
There's a lot of power in speaking things into existence
There's a difference between writing things down and saying it out loud
There's power in boldness
