on my last flight I saw this talk, loved it
havenβt been familiar with Jack before, his story is impressive and deeply personal
the talk itself is deep, he knows the topic, problems creators face on a level Iβve not seen in a while
and great one to learn on the storytelling part as well
now on the topic itself, and thatβs the thinking I came down to as well a few years back
most people, especially in creative fields, donβt want to come up with a unicorn size startup or a company
and most founders of digital products want exactly that, maximize profits, get another VC round, sell
we already see quite well what happens to those companies who get sold in the end - instagram is a great example of how a great app people loved to use - turned into an ad money making machine addicting people to stay in as long as possible⦠how many people got happier with that sell? a handful of vcs and original founders?

October 2nd my temporary residency card is expiring, what comes next is why I haven't been as bullish/positive for Portugal and is extremely painful
Renewal process is simple, you log into government website, pay, confirm your address and new card will come to your mail.
The problem is, as I found out, they only plan to open renewal for cards expiring now - by end of year, and waiting times for the card to be delivered is 4-6 months right now, which I really hope is not true lol
So after my card expires and until government processes the renewal, for many months I'm:
- locked in Europe and have to cancel all travel plans outside of the country
- likely to loose access to every digital app, especially financial
- have to defend myself within portugal every time I show my residency card 7 replies
