Imagine this: If you had $86,400 in your account and someone stole $10 from you, would you be upset and throw all of the remaining $86,390 away in hopes of getting back at the person who took your $10? Or move on and live? Right, move on and live. See, we all have 86,400 seconds each day. Don’t let someone’s negative 10 seconds ruin the remaining 86,390. Don’t sweat the small stuff, life is bigger than that.

A firm that’s small by design, that makes a handful of investments per year, and that eschews board seats and administrative control.

I’ve always believed the best founders have more in common with artists than executives.
They’re obsessive about new and beautiful things, they're compelled to bring creation into the world, and they're often misunderstood for very long periods of time–even lifetimes.

Last January was the worst time in my career. I wasn't sure if @Decent had a future. But since then we have worked incredibly hard to come back stronger than ever. Big thanks to our friends at @HealthRosetta for the support and the business, and to @HeatherLandi and @FierceHealth for covering our comeback and what the future holds: affordable healthcare for all. fiercehealthcare.com/payers/…
