This is 3km from Lake Como and I'd argue the view is better than half the lakefront places.
Stone house, 2 levels, fully renovated, 94m2 (1,012 sqft). + terrace, balcony, and a 300 m2 (3,230 sq ft) garden.
Price: €380k ($445k)
Location: Cremia (western shore of Como). ~1h45 from Milan.
Not lakefront, but from up here you get the whole lake and the Alps behind it. I like this one.

Breaking: Anthropic is now at $30B ARR.
Up from $19B in February.
That's $11B ARR added in one month.
WAT.
Anthropic is on an unprecedented growth run.
Just in the past year they grew from $1B to $19B ARR. They added $6B in ARR just in *February*. Companies like Palantir and Atlassian took 15-20 years to reach ~$5B ARR. Anthropic is adding that every month.
Amol Avasare is head of growth at Anthropic, and one of the most impressive people I've had on the podcast.
In his first ever public interview, Amol shares:
🔸 How Anthropic is automating growth experiments with Claude (their internal tool called “CASH”)
🔸 Why activation is the single highest-leverage growth problem in AI
🔸 Why Amol is hiring more PMs, not less
🔸 How he uses Cowork to automatically detect team misalignment in Slack
🔸 How the company’s focus on AI coding created a research flywheel that accelerated their models
🔸 How Amol landed his role by cold emailing Anthropic’s CPO @mikeyk
🔸 The brain injury that nearly ended Amol's career

One of the most useful exercises you can do each morning is to look at your calendar and ask yourself:
Am I moving closer towards or further away from my goals and who I truly want to become?

I bet everyone (myself included) would 2x their productivity this year by closing all browser tabs except for one or two that are hyper specific to your task. Focus sharpens the mind.

1/ The Startup Brand Fallacy. Brand marketing is mostly useless for consumer startups. Startups build a great brand by being successful, finding product market fit and scaling traction, etc. But it’s not a real lever. Let’s not mix up correlation with causation!

As a reporter who covered Blagojevich, I find some of today's revisionism jaw-dropping. A state house led by his own Democratic party voted 114-1 to impeach; Senate 59-0 to convict. Unanimous federal court jury convicted him on 17 counts of fraud, attempted extortion and bribery
