I’ve been holding $COIN since $35 a share. I decided to finally sell half my shades at $250 because I thought war talks would lead to a down market over the next few weeks. Instead, $COIN spiked $50 in 2 days. :)))))((((

This is a good litmus test for how you view your role in markets. Are you content to watch what the market reveals, or do you feel called to shape what the market becomes? Is the best world the one that emerges from uncoordinated choice, or the one that’s nudged by those with vision and values? Both are consistent with believing in a free market, but in each case, the former implies that you're outsourcing your morality to the market. https://x.com/omooretweets/status/1935427691458740310

It has always been high status to be high agency, craft-focused, and God-conscious. Technology widens the gap between those that are and those that are not.

Native is a narrative studio for builders shaping a world of agency, craft, and belief. Our core insight is that the world is more malleable than ever, and if you're not asserting this worldview through your work and your words, you're allowing the world to devolve into slop. I've worked with early-stage teams that embody this insight for the last 18 months. I'm working on a way for more folks to meaningfully align with our ideas and work outside of consulting. We need to actively shape and share the worldview we claim to support. If you’ve resonated with Native’s ideas, reach out for a preview.

Just like “talking to customers” is obvious startup advice that very few companies take seriously enough, the same is true for “be able to recite your company in a few lines without sounding like an idiot”

One piece of feedback I saw a lot on the Startup Slop piece was “What if Cluely is right?” If most of us don’t want <insert slop startup> to be right, then they’re wrong. They will fail. A company can only win with a healthy market. The future isn’t inevitable.

I've been thinking a lot about being a "compass" for builders and teams. The world is changing really, really fast. We're stuck in this thinking of "finding the signal in the noise," but in reality, we need a direction. An orientation that points your work toward relevant information and goals. What is signal to you might not be signal to others. Unique signal is an asset if you can uniquely convert it to outcomes. But that direction is the thing that folks are missing.

Industrial age politics revolved around class and material distribution. Information age politics are shaped by values and identity.

Ego on the Internet, circa January 2023. This is still the most personally impactful blog post I’ve written. I re-read it often as a reminder to myself.
