An Israeli founder introduced himself to me in the strangest way today. Instead of talking about his company, funding, or title... He told me: "I'm married to Gila, we have 4 kids, and we live in Tel Aviv." This isn't the first time this has happened to me. When I was at KPMG…
I have a friend whose stress tolerance absolutely marvels me, 100% a psychopath because no normal person could tolerate that much stress and not completely crumble, handles it all with charisma and swagger too, truly exceptional and definitely someone to look up to in that…
A simple idea I'm thinking about today: Life expands or contracts according to one’s courage. This is true about every decision, however minute or seemingly insignificant. Courage expands. Fear constricts. Choose carefully.
A random list of low-consciousness vibes to avoid in business and life: Frenetic Energy. Duplicitous Behavior. Bad Reputation. Lack of Humility. No Follow-Through. All Surface / No Depth. Scarcity Mindset. Bad/Absent Communication. Big/Fragile Ego. Time-Sucking. Victim…
One lesson hiding in plain sight here is that most of the audience of any successful post does not actually read it. They are told it by someone who did read it. There’s a primary audience who carefully reads the piece and does the cognitive work of “restructuring their…
I’m joining @a16z ! After five years at Shopify, I’m moving onto my next adventure in life, and heading to Andreessen Horowitz. Shopify is an incredible place, and Tobi is one of the great founders of our era. I’ll remember those years as one of the golden chapters of my life.…
10+ people have sent me the job posting below in the last week. They are shocked PayPal would pay $236k/yr for CEO content. But honestly? i'm nonplussed. unsurprised. i mean, duhhhh For some context: If PayPal can get someone great for $236k/yr, that would be a steal. All…
Listening to podcasts at 2x speed is overrated. The point isn't more information -- it's more understanding.
One of the best guiding principles in my life is "Run with your curiosity." If you want to read about Japanese aesthetics, read about Japanese aesthetics. Quantum mechanics? Emotional regulation? Advertising and psychology? Do it. The more you learn, the more you realize it's all…
Part of the reason I moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem recently was to bask in the quiet that enables the creation and development of character. Too much city is over-stimulating. Quiet is underrated in business. Conferences overrated.
You can literally have anything you want in life but you first need to genuinely believe that you can have it and that in a way it’s already yours. Even if you forget all the business advice you've ever been told, if you develop this 1 mindset, this one emotional orientation, I…
The problem with tech is that it’s still largely being built by men who’ve never felt truly connected to themselves, to others, or to the world. It’s revenge-of-the-nerd energy disguised as innovation, and it’s torpedoing culture, intimacy, and meaning in the process.
Good taste alone can take you very far in life: that's how you recognize what is worth investing your time and energy into, that's how you recognize people who are worth building relationships with, that's how you recognize and appreciate beauty and authenticity in everything.

Tattoo this to your brain: "The world is a malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.” – Marc Andreessen
build in public? i overshare. competitors? i root for them. advice? i ditch it when it feels wrong. abundance > paranoia.
I have begun to deprioritize intelligence as an important quality in clients, colleagues and friends. More important? Integrity + Trustworthiness. Courage. Growth Mindset + Optimism.
