Favorite part about working in web3 is the more you learn, the more you want to learn.

Texting back and forth on a Sunday with my head of sales dev and our rock star SDR team member about technical concepts to round out our understanding… bc we all are excited to learn. So good
Tradfi buddy just used the term ‘conference call’ with me. What’s that?
One of the best salesman I’ve ever known was my college roommate.

He worked through college cold calling alumni to raise money for the school.

He shattered every record the team had ever set.

The difference between road rage and wishing strangers a blessed day is a really really good workout.

Exercise those demons people.
Wow! Just had my first, ios push notification to 1 click nft mint experience for the @farcaster jaaaag. That was insanely cool and dare I say, dangerously close to a web2 like ux. Bullish.
In tense business situations sometimes a little humor goes a very long way. I’d say that’s something I’ve really evolved and learned over the years. It’s an amazing tool to get things unstuck.
I like to do minute planks at the gym.

And every time, I think this is the time, that I endured longer before looking at the clock.

And every time, my first peek is exactly at 31 seconds…
A lot of us confuse doing good work with getting good results.

They’re not even close to the same.

Keep yourself honest. Do an internal audit. Refocus yourself.
The only way forward in a sticky situation is directly at it.

Don’t try to go around, don’t try to hide, don’t hope they won’t notice.

Straight ahead with humility, empathy and a sincerity to compromise.

Always the best outcomes.
Can’t ever forget, business is 1000% only ever about the people. That’s it.

I don’t care whatever amount of “profit” that might cost. Do right.
I have never laughed in qbr presentations as often, or as hard, as I have this week in the @alchemyplatform sales sessions.

Your alchemy reps have the memes.

Super fun time learning and growing with you all. 🚀
Thinking about all my planning best practices this morning. Here’s the next one..

Fine line between being data driven and data paralyzed.

How do you keep yourself in check?
Simplicity is the highest form of sophistication

Keep it in mind.
Sometimes you need a day off to actually get work done.

Celebrating a very productive day of vaca.
Web2 small talk: “so, where are you based?”

Web3 small talk: “so, are you based?”
Today I heard someone explain how a specific Oracle provides network incentive for users to crowd source accurate real world data by comparing it to the card game of Bullshit. If you call bullshit.. and you’re right, you win. In this case, you get paid. This makes sense.
Passing professionals on the street in SF in suits carrying skis under their arms…

Winter is not over yet! Can’t wait to get myself some mountain air this weekend
Getting my morning dose of podcast mental support.

“True happiness is only achieved through very hard work”

Especially helpful on leg day…
I can’t believe I get to study CoinGecko and Dune for legitimate business purposes. lol

I used to look at these when I was avoiding work.
Nothing builds a relationship like doing work together.
My wife is a badass.

Me: on zoom, in office, door closed, hears thud, yells, ‘kids! Dad’s working!’

Wife: on couch, tv cartoon blaring, one kid asleep upstairs, one asleep on her lap, third kid snuggling next to her, laptop on her lap, working, full focus, full gsd, no factor
Q1 this year I cut out alcohol, soda, sports drinks and ultra processed foods.

Biggest problem still is running a pretty bad sleep deficit. Last night gave myself the gift of an extra 90 mins and it feels like rocket fuel in my veins.
Guaranteed formula to get the promotion you want..

Complete 100% of your current job duties. Then just start doing the job you want without saying a word about it to anyone. Have a big smile on your face the whole time until people start noticing.

I’ve never seen it fail.
Last night’s @alchemyplatform sf hh was 🔥

As I always do I went for the name tag with first name and company below..

But our customers innovated on this last night…

Memecoin, then name. New paradigm.

Tbh it was a great icebreaker 🚀
Saw the greatest prospecting call to action just now.

“Curious if you think it would be a bad idea to connect?”

Just confuse them into saying yes 😂
