Added a (extremely incomplete and unfinished) new section to my blog with my favorite/most recommended essays.
Thoughts on a better/more fun way to present this? Any good examples?

Gonna start sending out a Monthly Homies Letter.
Thinking about it as a personal and professional update for friends, so that I can keep them up to date, ask for help, offer help, and spark conversations with folks I haven't talked to in a while.
If we're mutuals and you want to receive this email, DC me.

I think the caveat here is that people want to find a squad, and once they have it, they no longer care as much about meeting new people.
Doesn't mean they're closed off, but I think finding a squad is sort of like getting into a committed relationship – takes you off the apps.

Platforms exist to sell distribution to other businesses. They can do this because the networks are closed.
We’re headed toward a future where no business will need to buy distribution.
That changes everything.

5.5 day work week:
- Full day Mon-Thurs
- Half days Fri-Sun
Ideal because you maintain momentum through the weekend but also have a ton of flexibility for life to happen.

“We help founders tell their stories” is the wrong framing.
It’s not about the founder. Most founders aren’t that interesting, and most users don’t care.
“Founder storytelling” services are a grift that play to the founder’s ego.
