🚀 It's never easy to start a company. And like most founders who have been at this for a while know, the idea you start with, will change. That's the case for the hottest company out there right now Coinbase. Brian Armstrong showed the thread from the days he was looking for a co-founder. It's worth looking at it here.
🎤 If I could put Peter Zeihan and Balaji in the same room to debate, we would all have a blast. If you have no idea why I am saying this please give Balaji's episode with Tim Ferris a listen. It's the longest and most encompassing podcast out there right now. But it's worth it. Thanks to my friend who recommended it.

👊 When you think of an underestimated investor who comes to mind? That's right, freaking Nas! He aligns with the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba, Serena Williams, Andre Igoudala (my top 2), and Jared Leto as some of the most prolific tech investors out there. But his track record is ridiculously good by any measure. Take a look in “A Surprise Winner From Coinbase’s Direct Listing? Rapper Nas”.
📈 Mix analytics with professional sports and you get the boom that we've been waiting for in our main. Happy and high-performing athletes in the right clubs, equal a better fan experience. Belgian superstar, Kevin De Bruyne is an example to follow, now that he signed his 100m contract without the help of an agent. Check the full story in “How Data Helped Negotiate A $100 Million Deal”.
