X IS DOWN, I REPEAT X IS DOWN

PURPLE APP'S TIME TO SHINE
what i love about nyc is that i can go to a @coopahtroopa.eth show, my friend's 3 year old's bday party (so many babies), a basement techno rave, and a schubert arrangement of goethe's poems

all in one weekend. whew

i caught up with a friend of mine last night (36F) who i had always seen as a mentor / aspirational figure when i first met her at google in my early 20s, and though i love her to death i was shocked to hear how much fear she had about the future

she & her husband probably make $500k+ base, they spend $10k/mo on rent, have a 3 year old with a full time nanny but are always home for dinner as a family. yet she was worried about a potential new hire threatening the her work dynamic, how she and her husband feel trapped in the US with the new administration threatening europe (they're both EU citizens), one of them getting sick before her kid's bday party this weekend

becoming a founder has changed my brain - i have to orient towards optimism or there's no chance of success. being in crypto has changed my risk tolerance - the ups & downs of the market are just part of the journey, and there are always pros/cons to both
i think my doji fits belong here

I'm a Type 7 (The Enthusiast)! Check out your own Enneagram analysis by pressing the button below.
i spoke to my grandma, my 外婆, last night for the first time since grandpa passed - i'm ngl my first thought when we got the news was concern for her - it feels like an unfathomable transition to lose someone you've woken up next to every day for 60+ years.

she told me that after crying her eyes out for days and feeling hopeless, she realized she still had so much to live for - 3 children, 5 grandchildren, her faith - and that despite her age / declining health she was going to "跳出来", which directly translates to something like "jump out". i'm interpreting it as "get back up and live life". we thought she was too frail to embark on int'l travel but not only does she want to come back to the US, she even wants to visit me and @briang in nyc for the first time -- from china!!! i was blown away, that's a full 24 hr travel day that i barely feel like i could do anymore, and the woman is 89 !!!!!!!

it's honestly crazy to see that kind of mental and physical resilience in these moments. <3

my 外公 (maternal grandfather) passed away in his sleep yesterday. he was 88 (extremely lucky number in china) and lived a long, full life as a math teacher, basketball aficionado, and english learner (he always said the same 3 phrases to our childhood friends lol).

i'm sure there's endless 🍰🍪🍲🥘🥜🥮🍚🥟 wherever you are now ❤️‍🩹

not-so-secret confession: i love reality tv. not the kind where scenes are scripted & drama is obviously manufactured, but where viewers get a glimpse into another person's reality.

for our next @unlonely show, i was inspired by nasubi - a record breaking japanese tv show from the 90s where a man was trapped naked in a room for 335 days (!!), and one of the pioneering "livestreamed" shows to 17M engrossed viewers - sans the nudity and psychological damage of being isolated for that long 😅

[LOCKED IN] is our take on this idea. on jan 20th, 3 contestants will be locked in an apartment for 30 days with 24/7 livestreamed security cameras to compete for a $10k cash prize.

how do they win? they fully commit to going tiktok viral. first to 100k followers wins.

LOCK IN 🔒

ps tiktok saw it first → https://tiktok.com/@unlonely.app

(more) contestants dropping next week!
happy new year babes ✨

it’s been a season of major personal and professional change for me but one thing is constant - i am so energized by what we’ve been working on creating for viewers on @unlonely, and today is (finally) the grand reveal of our very first interactive horror show!!

it’s part fear factor, part escape room, part hunger games, and part something we’ve never seen before… making the jump from our virtual “love on leverage” productions to IRL venue scouting and talent contracting has been a huge learning curve. but i genuinely can’t wait for you all to watch, jump in the chat, and maybe even send a care or scare package to the contestants 👀

still out here, innovating, learning to see what sticks 🤞🏼 time to spread “the FUD” hehe 👻
/Unlonely
me: sends new figma designs, a linear task with product feedback, a link to docs for a freshly launched feature offering from one of our service providers, and ask for times today that we can talk through onboarding user flows

my dev: "ok"

THANKS DANNY OK TO YOU TOO

/Unlonely
allow me to get a lil sentimental if you will - one year ago i took a major leap into the unknown and joined brian in building @unlonely as a new paradigm for synchronous online social experiences. ethcc 2023 was the first crypto conference i attended and i was SO overwhelmed - every event i went to was full of strange new people saying things i didn’t understand. i was still getting used to introducing myself as a “founder” and perfecting the 1 line pitch for unlonely, begging people to use our product… there was crazy imposter syndrome and i questioned if this was what i should really be doing with my life post MBA + 5 yrs at google when everyone else had gone into VC / PE / consulting etc.
