“I can’t say that I’m a winner, I haven’t won on any level.”
- Jimmy Butler.
That’s quite the statement from one of the NBAs best players.
Jimmy has a winners resume. He just doesn’t have an NBA Championship.
• 6× NBA All-Star (2015–2018, 2020, 2022)
• NBA Eastern Conference Finals MVP (2023)
• All-NBA Second Team (2023)
• 4× All-NBA Third Team (2017, 2018, 2020, 2021)
• 5× NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2014–2016,
2018, 2021)
• NBA Most Improved Player (2015)
• NBA steals leader (2021)
• Olympic Gold Medal (2016)
Jimmy Butler is so competitive that he doesn’t consider himself a winner without a championship.
No wonder Pat Riley loves him. This is a mindset that cannot be taught.
The clip below is a fascinating look inside the mind of one of the most fierce competitors in sports.
Winning is measured in Championships for Jimmy Butler.
Jimmy Butler and the @MiamiHEAT have lost 2 of the last 4 NBA Championships. It’s time to see if they can learn from that failure and get over the hump.
Each year brings its own variables, but Jimmy and the Miami Heat still have some time left on their clock.
His band deserves just as much credit. On the fly they did everything they could to back Lewis up. True artistry around every note.
There will never be another night like this at Red Rocks. Only the people there last night will ever see that performance.
Once in a lifetime.
The 2 hour stripped down set was a TRUE treat.
Even more impressive, Lewis never faltered. No crash out, no freak out. Just a love for the songs and the crowd who came to see him.

At times it felt like we were all watching a rehearsal as they briefly discussed how to tackle certain songs between performances. Adjusting keys, tempo, instruments, and everything in between.
Lewis Capaldi’s voice bounced off those Red Rocks all night.
The crew hands Lewis a guitar. Aiden (pianoman) sits down at the new piano.
What followed was one of the most incredible performances by an artist and his band.

The crowd loves him.
LET’S TRY THIS AGAIN.
….
NIGHTMARE REPEATING. This piano is not getting played tonight.
The crew brings out another piano. Lewis announces that this is now an acoustic set.
They’ve NEVER done this before.

“We’re gonna fix the issue, and come back out. You NEVERRR saw me” LOL
HERE WE GO.
Back to the start. Darkness, band on stage, music playing. Seconds later, NIGHTMARE.
The Piano is still having issues.
Lewis comes back, apologizing in the funniest most genuine way possible.

Rather, he is in disbelief and channels his comedic side to let the crowd know that this is not how the show is supposed to start.
He asks the crowd if they should start over from the top.
The crowd says YES!

This is when the trouble starts. Night 2 is about to go very differently from night 1.
There is an issue with the piano. What exactly, is unclear. But when Lewis comes out for what is supposed to be the opening song, he is not singing.

A piano tech issue leads to one of the greatest Red Rocks shows of all time.
Lewis Capaldi, April 29th 2026, Red Rocks night 2.
The theater goes dark, the band takes their places and the music begins.

Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.
Brilliant
UPDATE: We are overnighting our Whoop Body collection to all the tennis players at the Australian Open. The sensor can be worn discreetly and effectively in our new undergarments. It’s going to take a strip search to keep @whoop off the court!!!

This data is SO cool.
Amazing thing we learned from working with Alex Honnold on @whoop is that he gets an outlier level of REM sleep every night. 5+ hours of restorative sleep between REM sleep + SWS.
Studies show a high amount of REM sleep decreases your amygdala response (aka fight or flight).

- Work with editor in chief @jeremysternla, managing editor @domcooke, deputy editor @gabi_imarques, photographers, illustrators, and design team to create features that feel cinematic, literary, or in some way canonical
- File 4-6 deeply reported long-form stories per year, along with occasional shorter-form Front Matter features
- Be easy to edit and excited to work under editors who will teach and elevate you
- Travel the world to interview the most interesting, important, and difficult to access founders, investors, CEOs, operators, and more
- Contact: jeremy@joincolossus.com
COMMERCIAL/REVENUE GROWTH
- Wake up and fall asleep thinking “number go up,” while being long term greedy
- Deeply Commercial: people are surprised by looking forward to calls with a “salesperson”
- Aesthetic for cool brands and cool ads from companies that might also make great investment opportunities
- Share in the money you bring home to the business
- Inventory you’re proud to sell because it’s growing like crazy and in front of the highest quality audience in the world
