One of my favorite things as a father is watching things “click” for my kids. My 4 year old daughter figured out skiing today. 😎 Good form overall! She might just take on a blue before the season is over. 🤩

Got a nice feature by Morning Brew’s Alex Lieberman (@businessbarista)! Not a bad pitch for just 60 seconds. 😎😏 Proud of my team at @SweaterVentures.

Sweater believes the VC community shapes the future, but the RIGHT to shape the future belongs to everyone. VC has been controlled by a very small segment of society, so THEY hold the keys. When all of us are involved with our money, we bring our influence to the table as well.

I feel like we’ll have to leave a tip for this extra level of service. 😅 Happy Monday! #amazonprime lnkd.in/gYSnmbJm
