In 2013, Tony invited me and other entrepreneurs to Vegas to give us his tour of what he and his team were doing to the Downtown area to revive it. It was amazing. But what really has always stuck with me is how fresh Tony’s ideas and think

I've done a lot of this as a writer. I'll actually take an article from a favorite writer of mine and paste it on the page. Then'll I'll go through that article and write my own article on top of it paragraph by paragrap

An important takeaway is to "send out any email at all". Like the time with our first startup in YC W06. Our first client was the result of me just cold emailing a CEO of a startup I saw featured in Wired magazine. "Hey I lik

That's a super interesting idea. There's a ton of community incentive to participate too since everyone's sharing this IP reputation. On the biz side, policing this sucked. Ate up a ton of support time analyzing the email bei

"spam is hardly an unnoticed issue which one meeds to raise awareness for" - I thought so too. Until I tried to run a bulk email service. We had a countless number of people, good people, sending spam, not realizing it's spam

This was definitely a point of debate before and during this. Honeypots are by definition a deceit. Whether they are a net positive we may have to disagree on. I think in many cases they are a positive as in this case. Spam is out of contro

This is also a great way to surprise people. Surprise seems to be one of the most important ingredients to getting things to spread (I won't quote the academic or anecdotal research of that here.) So I use this inversion analysis often

Yeah so far from some of the generated Tweets, etc. it seems like there's a form of using this to seed creativity. It's much better than the current give me startup idea titles. I could see someone whose super stuck brainstorming

I've always hated running. But I started at it in my 20s. But never made it probably more than about 4-5 miles at a time. And it was always a labor. Finally I tried something. I was going to run just a tiny bit longer every single day.

I think most of the time this is just Parkinson's Law playing out: "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion" Things get over-engineered because too much time is allowed for the task. The forcing func

It's wild what constraints can actually open up for your creativity. I love making videos but ran out of the time I used to have to spend on it. And so largely gave up trying. But I decided instead of complaining about it or trying to
