I applied again in multiple cycles, and was consistently rejected. It was embarrassing. After 9 straight rejections this cycle, it was becoming clear the dream was dead. Then last night, I got the email: Accepted at UCLA. Pure joy.

In 2017, I got kicked out UCI’s economics PhD program b/c I sucked at solving RBC models by hand. The next few years were the most frustrating of my life. But I was too stubborn to give it up. So I took 7 more math courses. I retook the GRE. (3 times) I worked as an RA.

I met a guy who spent several years jumping dirt bikes. I asked him, as I often do when I meet people with unusual skills, what was the key to doing it well. His answer: "Committing."

Cities used to compete for jobs and tax revenue by attracting companies. In the era of remote work, they will compete to attract knowledge workers. Individuals can relocate much more easily than companies. This will swiftly reward competent cities and punish incompetent ones.

Early Amazon PR might be the greatest PR ever. Popular narrative: Amazon grew through word of mouth. Reality: Amazon grew through extremely aggressive marketing. Popular narrative: Amazon was a tech startup. Reality: Amazon spent 3X on marketing vs tech in first few years.
