Firmly believe that the only way to justify living in NYC is to take full advantage of the city If you live here, you should be going to standup shows and jazz clubs. Find new people every week to grab dinner with - almost anyone you could hope to meet passes through NYC at some point during the year. There are spontaneous pop ups in the parks all the time; go to them when you're free. There are endless coffee shops and restaurants to try. Countless bookstores, art galleries, and museums to explore. Took me about a year and a half to realize all of this and embracing it dramatically improved how much I enjoy the city

Everyone should think of themselves as an athlete Imo it’s the single greatest unlock for staying healthy. So much easier to eat well, exercise intentionally, and recover consistently when the litmus test is “what would an athlete do?”

Saw Materialists this weekend Initially disliked it (it’s NOT a rom com) but I also haven’t stopped thinking about it Feel like every person will have a different reaction to it based on where they are in life, and that actually makes it a way more interesting movie

One of the most striking insights from Coinbase's State of Crypto summit today came from @barmstrong's fireside: how is it that Coinbase is such a startup factory? There are more paths to a yes than a no Twice a year, Coinbase holds an internal pitch competition, where anyone can suggest an initiative for Coinbase to pursue. Every internal leader has a budget for these venture-like bets; all it takes is ONE yes to get an initiative greenlit When making venture bets, there are often far more paths to a "no" than a "yes" - it's often easier to imagine how something can go wrong than how it can go really right. Coinbase inverted this model and my guess is that it's a big part of the reason why Coinbase is such an impressive founder factory
