Have fun.
HQ Trivia’s founders are facing fundraising roadblocks after investors learned of alleged bad behavior – Recode
Not saying these guys have done anything but it is good to see some trepidation on behalf of VC’s where there is alleged bad actors.
We need more of this.
Next book up :: The Startup Way
Okay – update. Finished but I have to say I loved the lean startup much more but maybe this book is good for the right folks. I can imagine some big company folks getting a lot out of it.
I gleaned a few tricks and might even refer to it as a good reference guide. I try to remind myself that sometimes it’s okay to not read or dig every chapter but still love the book.
On to the next one!

Picked this one up at the airport on the way out – The Startup Way.
Already digging it and learning some new tricks.
Ray Dalio on Masters in Business
Ray has been doing the podcast circuit with the book being out but this was one of my favorite ones.
I don’t love Forbes but this article captures some of the salient points I am trying to grok and put into my work practice.
First is to have an “idea meritocracy” that spans across meaningful work and meaningful relationships.
I like this – may the best idea win and of course we all want rewarding work with good people.
I also like his framework for putting this into place with serious meeting rigour and a culture that supports radical transparency and radical candor. (This is why I am super excited that the next book up is Radical Candor by Kim Scott.)
Within these concepts there are rules for open disagreement, discourse for challenging ideas (not the people) and some protocol for making sure that when a decision is made – everyone falls in line to support it, regardless of where you personally stand on the issue.
I need to get the book and dig in.
Also excited to try and implement better goal and learning this year with another notebook..
Descript – Transcription and Audio Editing
Descript – Transcription and Audio Editing
Listened to this yesterday and I find the model of editing audio via text so interesting.
I bet he eventually figures out simple video editing using audio as the manipulation paradigm,
Killer stuff.
Prof Galloway at TEDNYC
Prof Galloway at TEDNYC – great video.
Interested to see what happens as he keeps beating this drum.
Not missing the USA
I miss my family a ton. I miss old friends, camping, shake shack and long motorcycle rides along the Cali coast to nowhere. I really miss those things.
But what is going in America is scary. Trump, the FCC and the takeover of large unchecked tech giants is not a great future.
If you don’t already read Redef – you should start. Great daily curation of awesome web reads and the best part – the Rant from Jason Hirschhorn the Curator.
I love his work. I am hoping him and the Prof get together some time for a the Prof’s video series.
