"Even among the talented who choose a path of building, most take safe, incremental bets. Such pursuits not only fail to push the world forward, but pose a cost in opportunity. There are important challenges facing humanity that no one is working on, including critical, and even existential challenges. In other words, if you are an exceptionally capable person, failure to pursue a good quest is not neutral. It constitutes a loss for humanity."
— Trae Stephens and Markie Wagner
This will fundamentally transform the fabric of our incredible city. 51 buildings in the hands of some of the best builders Atlanta has known! Way to go @JonnyBird, @LG_SoutheastCRE, @davidcummings, @david_lightburn, April Stammel!

They called it off “for regulatory reasons” but no chance the mkt change didn’t play a role in Adobe not wanting to fight too hard on this. Crazy this is a year later.
Assume $adbe would bump up if they paid the breakup fee and dipped. Also assume they could come back later and buy cheaper. Probably better for shareholders to walk.
Couldn’t be closer to the playbook we used at SL from beginning. Basically Lou Adler hire with your head and MSA question + abbreviated Top Grade.
Founders this will be the most valuable short form video on hiring you will see.

Amazing show coming tomorrow 👇
I’m thrilled for the opportunity to use lessons from my journey to serve the world class founders of Endeavor!
Endeavor Atlanta is thrilled to welcome two of our Outlier entrepreneurs to our Board of Directors: @kyleporter and @summerville!

The other team’s calls were only part of the story. How about a team that never gave up, that fought to the very end, that found a way to make the impossible happen #GoJackets #WeCanDoThat
Salesforce is just north of 7% of Microsoft market cap today. Acquisition at 35% over mkt would still be <10% for $msft.
Interest rates, inflation, and ebitda be damned. If you’re a believer in SaaS, this is horse worth riding.
I prefer this perspective on Rule of 40 davidcummings.org/2023/02/18…
What’s different about Elon over all other larger than life polarizing figures is he seems to show the maturity of a leader who recognizes mistakes and walks them back based on learning.
What’s the likelihood @Adobe backs out of @figma deal? This was kind of glossed over in @theallinpod except for @chamath saying Fig should be pushing hard to close.
Assume $adbe would bump up if they paid the breakup fee and dipped. Also assume they could come back later and buy cheaper. Probably better for shareholders to walk.
My take on @elonmusk and censorship. Individually you are not trusted to fully decide the limits of free speech. Neither am I. Most importantly neither is he. Create true town square with full representation +no bots, so we can collectively decide.
This is the purpose of Angel investing I’ve always loved. For many investors at this level, it should be about return on fulfillment not ROI.
