I got invited to a dinner in NYC by a "big company."
There were a lot of hot names on the list and I was interested in their product so I figured, hey, it's a big company, so they probably have an established playbook that I can learn from.
I went to the dinner and immediately felt like I was wasting my time there; nothing against the company or person inviting me.
One key thing I found with hosting dinners is that everything has to be in excess. If I'm going to invite someone to dinner and ask them to spend 2 hours with me, I need to make it worth their time.
What that means is extra appetizers that go uneaten and extra drinks that go undrunk. If we go for sushi, they do not leave so hungry that they have to get a slice of pizza after. And lastly, the moment the menu hits the table, the order gets placed.

Stretching after the gym is highly underrated. Stretch for at least 10 minutes after your workout, and I guarantee you'll have an euphoric feeling if you don't do this very frequently.

Celebrated our head of ops
@_rosslinton wedding this week at Lake Como.
Working with Ross has been one of the best parts of my time at
@Meow.
He is honest, always optimistic, outright hilarious, the most responsive person I know, and never cares who gets credit.
Ross has worn more hats than anyone I've seen at a company. That includes running support for thousands of customers solo for over a year, owning onboardings, providing endless product feedback, training our CS team, establishing our RIA entity, and now becoming one of the best closers on our sales team. His impact is extraordinary and his potential is endless.
This was such an amazing time celebrating him and Gaby and I cannot wait for their future together.

Huge for crypto. Keep an eye out for the burn mint ratio to see how much utility this drives $CC

Having an office has been such an unlock already. Kind of crazy to not be taking calls over printers and jostling for phone booths.
A new office isn't a right. It's a privilege, and one we must earn every day.
Today is our first day in @Meow's new HQ in the heart of Soho. The internet isn't even up yet, so I'm typing this tethered to my phone.
I'm proud of the early Meow team that graduated from dark rooms to a space of our own. We could have done this years ago but we waited until we crossed 8 figures in net revenue and until we knew our growth engine actually repeats. The entire team, since day 1, has never complained and has been on board with this ethos.
Above all, we're grateful for our customers. None of this is possible without the customer. And we must earn the right to serve our customers every single day.

They said they chose canton 1st. They just recently announce stellar and you don’t even know what they are using them for. Canton goes first in July / October.

This crypto selloff is making me increasingly bullish on Canton canton-network:native . Utility is the only thing that matters in the end, and if your network isn’t driving real-world value, don’t be the last one holding the bag.

I'm kind of convinced Apple slowed my Macbook Pro down two weeks ago. It was working fine, and now it can barely keep up

$CNTN is trading at a meaningful discount to its NAV. My best guess is because the underlying $CC token it holds is still illiquid.
Once DTCC opens tokenization to the public in October, I expect liquidity in $CC to pick up significantly. That should hopefully tighten the discount and push $CNTN higher as it starts trading closer to its true NAV.
