Still can't quite believe this is happening. And it's thanks to the many people I have worked with and learned from, more than any of you know. And the folks I interviewed and excerpted who generously shared wisdom. This book was not a 1 person project - thank you is not enough.

I once asked my grandmother, born in 1910 and alive until 2010, if she voted. She said "Oh yes, honey." I asked how she decided which candidate got her vote. She said, "I asked your grandfather."...Beat.... "And then I voted for the other candidate." I think about this a lot.

Great teams are not top talent individuals optimizing for themselves in a group but rather this: unselfishness in service to winning, complementing each other. Takes a certain maturity and if there is less maturity then the manager role is more critical. Create the conditions.

I think Jrue Holiday’s unselfishness has had a real impact on an increasingly unselfish Celts team. In a contract year, his usage rate dropped from 25.0% to 16.6%. FGA went from 15.3 to 10.3. He’s overqualified to be a glue guy, he knows it, he’s fine with it. Just wants to win.

Son: "It's actually a great moment for friends." Friend: "It is. Like, during the Coronavirus, we're still going to a concert, even if it's in Fortnite." Son: "I'm actually kinda crying." Never thought I'd say this: Thank you, #epicgames #Fortnitetravisscott

Just showed our son The Matrix. He predicted the outcomes in every scene. We've learned Fortnite is just a Matrix derivative.

Just showed my son The Matrix. He loved it. "Are there any sequels, dad?" "No, son. They were happy to make just one great movie."

1/ Winter break reflection: skiing is similar to growing a company. Lots of upfront costs and awkward logistics just to get on the mountain. Not infrequent equipment issues, some accompanied by physical pain.

A salute to @SusanWojcicki . Talk about company builders! Susan taught me the value of humble curiosity over and over again. Kudos and thank you, Susan! Can't wait to see where your curiosity takes you 😀

I'm noticing a concerted effort to diversify the cap table and much credit is owed to folks like @karanortman @aileenlee and you, @hunterwalk :). Also my friends @OperatorCollect !

Husband and I just realized we both attended Lollapalooza at Great Woods in 1991. Siouxsie was out due to illness, but Jane’s Addiction played “Jane Says” and the crowd exploded. First time I saw @nineinchnails . We met in 2002 at a party in NYC. #meanttobe . Oh and 280, bitches.
