Yet another reminder that the people you make things with are just as important as the things you make✨
Felt like the 4:3 version needed to be shared.
“The body of work of your life compounds.”
@Suffoca is one of my favourite storytellers. @CailinDoran has a way with words that stays with you.

The heroes journey is a circle, you always return to the start.
I left New York just after we shot this video, looking for answers to my own ennui while knowing what everyone says: wherever you go, there you are.
I left with the hope that an open heart, receptive to the vast opportunity of the world, meant that something of note would intersect with my potential. That love or purpose or place would make clear the undeniable next steps.
This has not happened. Like a story folding in on itself, and back out again, I am back in France, pulling back up to London, and then to New York again on the same reversed path where this petit odyssey began in the spring.
Out of the blue this week, @Suffoca sends me this small section of video from our time together he can't stop thinking about, from when we were shooting with @Solana.
How startling to have my own voice remind me that:
The body of work of your life compounds.
The clarity I have been seeking, coming up from cycles I thought already rotated through.
The resilience of our lives never stops surfacing, the cycles may be super, but they often return us to our truest qualities, our purest pleasures, our undeniable gifts. We are a museum of everything we have ever loved, we are the sum of all of our parts.
I can promise you, that all of your training and capacity, as disparate and strange as it may be, feeds what comes next, if you can just get back to the source.
I can sense old tricks in the next turning.
Which is a long way of saying, see you in London ;)
Why We Ship: The Non-Technical Developers of @DoubleZero & @MalbecLabs_xyz
@CailinDoran came from theater and @eden_ from ocean conservation, two routes nobody plans into crypto infrastructure. Now they're the storytellers at DoubleZero and Malbec Labs, translating deeply technical work and bringing infrastructure once reserved for big tech and Wall Street to the Solana ecosystem.

legit one of my favourite podcast episodes that I've listened to this year. so much free game.
"I'd rather be behind. I'm a much better person being behind than when I'm ahead. You want to be ahead for a while, but you want the rules to change, to fall behind, so you can innovate again."
"The best expression of humans is in the intersection between chaos and order. If you're too orderly, you don't innovate. If you're too chaotic, you don't communicate and you break."
"If anybody can explain anything complex to you in a napkin, it means they have studied enough that they know how to articulate it.
.@mickymalka is the founder of @RibbitCapital — the firm behind Revolut, Robinhood, Nubank, Coinbase, and more.
He bought his first share of Berkshire Hathaway when he was 13, in Venezuela, with money he borrowed from his grandfather.
His grandfather charged him interest.
He started his first company at 17. In his mid-20s, he put every dollar he had into launching a bank in Brazil for the 50 million Brazilians nobody else would serve.
Micky is a quiet killer. Respected by the elite of the elite.
When I asked @patrick_oshag how he’d describe Micky to someone who didn’t know him, he said: “He’s a mfing moneymaker.”
Micky hates labels. The only label he wants is on his tombstone: “He was a rebel.”
