best take i've read so far on all this
For 15 years I've tried to be consistent about the SMB acquisition opportunity set:
1) There's tremendous opportunity in paying a reasonable price for a good SMB and helping them win.
2) Most SMBs are untransferable disasters loosely held together by sheer will and duct tape.
3) "Reasonable," "good," and "helping" are where you make money
4) AI changes zero about #1, #2, or #3

So sick of the gambling stuff being force fed into sports. I miss when degenerates had to sit in a room alone with the news paper and work through crooked bookies and I could just enjoy my beer commercials in peace
Reminds me how I started my career: cold calling banks and buying their construction loans
I like to be as transparent as I can be. We had our first builder call us today and say “I’m out of money and can’t pay you”. Loan matures Friday. 😬 We got $2M on 5 new units sitting at 67% LTV.
He asked me: “what are the options?”
My response: “liquidation. Friendly or non friendly. ”
We’ve had a lot of private capital come in last few months but this should be an interesting one.
from reviewing the app it seems like almost no one I know from twitter is going to Main St this year except @michaelnewt
@timsweetman @JackieHirsch_ @jjtejkl @msaskin @stephenolmon are any of y'all gonna be there?
in the last four years the models have gone from being like a 68000 to the M1.
What a time to be alive
