One of my family’s core values is humility. This results in two things:

1. We want our work to speak for itself, so we’re driven to always do our best work (feature)

2. We don’t want to speak about our work, so we’re bad at selling ourselves (bug)

The latter is particularly dangerous when we do need to sell ourselves, which is every time an opportunity presents itself.

I was talking to @keccers.eth in a full what-have-I-ever-done-that’s-moved-the-needle spiral when she asked me to send her my CV. “It’s just a CV,” I said. "Bullet points and numbers."

This morning, she sends me a 15 min podcast of a guy and a girl analyzing me: my character, my values, my accomplishments, my potential.

“I popped your CV into NotebookLM and gave it one instruction: tell me what kind of person ted is,” she said.

It was critical, accurate, grounded, and bullish. Two AI-generated voices selling me TO ME.

What the fuck.

This type of collaborative AI (AI with friends) is unbeatable. Same goes for crypto.

@ted I love that your family has explicitly defined your core values.

Any process recommendations for young families in the /parenting channel who want define theirs?

Show not tell.

I come from an Asian family and in general your parents don’t affirm affection verbally. They just dedicate their lives to us. A struggle when juxtaposed against non-immigrant American families.

When each of our kids turned 10, each parent took them on a 1:1 trip (trips varied: backpack camping, city break, Camino de Santiago). We got to talk about all kinds of things, including core values. 

My values:

-Honesty
-Trustworthiness
-Loyalty
-Humility
-Compassion

Spend the time to make yours explicit; totally worth the effort!

Family values started with our vows.  Excerpts:

- accept you for who you are and who you will be
- respect and support
- share celebrations and burdens
- stay sweet, never take for granted

Turns out these are also my life values
