It fuels me when people dismiss what I'm working on. Just means there's an opportunity others don't see yet. Many dismissed when I joined Coinbase in 2014. Feel the same joining Farcaster in 2025 with opportunity cost of running my own business. Take big swings when you see it :)

i just had an employee leave for a leadership opportunity with a growing company and while he thought i would be upset (i wouldn't have), i told him that if he felt it was the right opportunity and didn't take it, then he'd regret it.

you don't know where the road will take you if you never start walking down the path.
