This just showed up in my inbox.... "I kid you not, I legitimately just FORGOT about Fall when I said that (and Fall is my favorite)." It happens to the best of us, but don't forget to stop enjoy the foliage. It's one of the best times of the year. ššš

Every day a star is born! @sienna_spiro has one of those voices that standout in a sea of new talent.
Happy Wimbledon Finals to those that celebrate. Johnny McEnroe is such a good commentator. Just sayinā!
Not that I have much time for TV... but I need a new show to nibble on.... should I watch the last season of Hacks or season 1 of The Studio? Why?
The Bending Spoons philosophy when starting their business after liquidating their last business and being down to their last 40k was brilliant and on pointā¦Luck is essential in stating a business. Luck becomes irrelevant when operating that business. They nailed that thesis!
This is a great listen about the spirit and hustle of a music executive and how it applies to breaking artists and investing in founders / brands.

Social media drives discovery but conversion happens somewhere else: 44% of fans (and closer to 60% of Gen
Z fans) say they discover content on social media (where engagement is monetized through advertising) and then go somewhere else to watch, listen to, or buy the full version
Smart man
Iām excited to announce that Iām invested in @MeekMill Series A for $67M alongside @jackkuveke of @jabronicap
We canāt talk specifics about the project yet, as itās just recently coming out of stealth, but the idea is an AI-driven B2B SaaS solution to streamline royalty analysis. When you look at the market, thereās a huge opportunity in music tech optimization that actively supports creators.
Mr. Mills exclusive industry knowledge alone will revolutionize the current tech landscape. Not naming names, but one of the largest VC/incubators is going in on it.
Glad we were able to close this lightning hot round quickly.
I canāt wait for you all to learn about what weāre building.
