Almost every founder has to survive some version of what Gabe describes here Although Rogo has raised over $300M, 40 investors passed on their Series A (except Keith Rabois) Gabe on why every pass at that stage is a pass on the founder: "I met with Sequoia, Kleiner, Benchmark,...

@rabois No idea other VCs thoughts, but I remember thinking @GabeStengel was obviously a good founder

@rabois Get @davidtisch on your cap table - he's a legend: "David was an early pre-seed seed investor who introduced me to a bunch of all-time greats for the Series A. David introduced us to 40 investors, and I met with everybody...Sequoia, Kleiner, Benchmark." 🐐

@rabois "Keith, if it's not contrarian, why did every single one of your friends just say it was a bad idea and not believe in me?" This is incredible

@rabois rogo raised $300M+ after that so somebody's math was very wrong 39 times over

@rabois Curious how founders should read forty near identical passes. Do you update on the idea, on the pitch, or just accept that conviction in a founder is subjective enough that it takes one person who happens to see it?

I genuinely hate having to make this public bro, but Kanel still hasn’t paid me for my work, and is no longer replying to my invoices or requests. I worked for Kanel Joseph as his assistant, helping with production, creative development, operations, and tasks in his personal life. I’m currently still owed $2853.30 for work already completed and have been trying to resolve it privately for a while now. I completed work with the team in Los Angeles and expected payment once the work concluded, but payment has not been issued. I’ve watched Kanel for over four years now, and I genuinely would’ve never expected this. I was told payment would be made once the laptop they claim is company property is returned, but it’s not their property. Gabe purchased that MacBook with his own money, and gave it to me personally. Gabe was Kanel’s editor for nearly five years, before leaving the team. Attached is a video of the incident involving the laptop that later became the central point of the dispute. I only share this for additional context to the situation. After the milkshake was thrown on Gabe, they got into a massive argument after the video cuts. Kanel purchased a new MacBook for Gabe. Gabe then decided to give me his old MacBook, explicitly telling me “I’m giving this to you, not Kanel.” Now that I have left the team as well, Kanel and his management are saying that the old MacBook is company property “since they bought Gabe a new MacBook,” but that’s not how it works. You don’t just magically gain ownership of his old MacBook because you bought him a new one. Gabe gave me the MacBook— not Kanel, not the team, he gave it to me. And now I’m being told that I won’t be paid unless I give it to the team. I still hope to solve this professionally, but if we’re unable to, then I will be continuing to seek legal action.

Keith Keith Rabois Breaks Down Trump's Political Super Powers: Keith on E207: "So the most interesting question to me, over the last year was: how is (Trump), who everybody in the media and everybody in the legal groups of various things is trying to attack and hate, why is he on the precipice of being elected President of United States twice?" "(Trump) must have a super power or two." "So what it came down to, and I interviewed a lot of people who were critics of him but knew him well, like ex-cabinet people that don't like him." "It comes down to he just asks a lot of 'why?'" 1) Asking "Why?" Keith: "Trump asks a lot of "why?": 'Why do we have to do it this way? Why have we done it this way?'" And it turns out in politics and in DC, most of the answers are pretty mediocre, or weak, or poor, or haven't been rethought for 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years." "And so (Trump) just constantly dives in and says, 'why, why, why, why?'" "And that's actually what predicts success for founders, is in a domain they don't know anything about, they're just like, 'why?'" In Airbnb's case, the founders asked, "Why should we take hotels for granted? Why should they be so expensive?" 2) Getting Feedback from a Diverse Group of Thinkers Keith: "(Trump) doesn't just take one source of input. And so you can never totally predict the output." "But he arrays an interesting cast of characters and listens to them." "Like for example, I haven't spent that much time with him, but in so far as I have, he would go around the room and ask every single person at dinner, 'What's your view on 'X'?' And literally go around a room of 28 people and listen to every single person." "So I think that's how he makes decisions."

Caleb Hammer reveals he rents a private jet to help him get over his panic attacks - "I burst down in tears. It's really bad." Caleb: "I'm trying to get over my fear of flights and I guess I'm rich now, so that's nice. Knock on wood with all." Chris: "Does that help you get over your fear of flights?" Caleb: "I rented a PJ. Tell me. That's a waste of money." Chris: "Is that easier or harder?" Caleb: "So, it's a control thing for me. I don't like being stuck in a situation that I can't control." Chris: "Do you know how to fly the PJ?" Caleb: "No, but I can say let's land. I can't do that with a commercial jet." Chris: "Well, you could make a big enough fuss, but it would be a real headache." Caleb: "And bad for my career, too. So, that would be a real headache." Chris: "Pause." Caleb: "Yeah." Chris: "What was the first time with your travel anxiety getting on a PJ? Like," Caleb: "It was—oh, the PJ itself, it was actually really bad when we filmed it, too. We filmed it. It's on the internet. I burst down in tears. It's really bad." Chris: "I'm sorry, man." Caleb: "Oh, it was anxiety. Like, that's not—" Chris: "Yeah, I don't think that you should dismiss it like that." Caleb: "But it's not like something bad happened to me, right? Like, anxiety is make-believe. It's not real. My brain thinks it's real, but it's not. So, I was crying. I was sad. But you know what was actually making me more sad and crying? A lot of people thought it was out of pure terror. It was remembering a lot of the things that I haven't done. A lot of the family I haven't visited because of my fear of travel."

Freya Doom discloses she turned down a $20,000 bag after walking onto a set that tried to ambush her with an unscripted gangbang: "Don't do anything for money. People are gonna throw thousands of dollars—like I got offered 20 grand to do an anal scene, and I still said fuck no because I own my shit. And a lot of people will be like, 'Oh my god, what the fuck is wrong with you?'" "And I'm like, for me personally, I have too much love for myself to like sell myself for anything that I'm not comfortable with. If I'm not comfortable doing a scene, I don't care how much money you're gonna throw my way, I'm not gonna do it. And a lot of these girls—mostly girls, sometimes guys, but mostly girls—will show up on set, and it's not the set that they signed up for." "Like one time I showed up, and it was only supposed to be a boy-girl-girl scene. I walked in, I was doing paperwork, and I saw all these guys around me and I was like, 'Oh cool, it's just crew.' Next thing I know, they were trying to do a gangbang scene, and they were throwing me like thousands of dollars to do it, and I just looked at them and I was like, 'No.'" "Like this is not—I don't care how much you pay me, I'm gonna stand by what I wanna do. A lot of girls that I talk to about that, they're like, 'But they offered this much, I would fucking do it.' And I'm like, 'But how would you feel afterwards?'" "Because at the end of the day, they're not going home with you, you have to go home to yourself. So you have to be very comfortable with yourself, you have to fucking own that shit and love yourself. And know that whatever you're doing is respectable to yourself."

Matt Fitzpatrick thinks gambling is “definitely an issue” that’s affecting how fans behave at golf tournaments: “Yeah, it's a great question because you just look at all the messages people get -- footballers, tennis players, you name it, everyone's getting messages of, oh, you missed that penalty; you cost me this. Oh, you didn't make a birdie; cost me this. “I've had my fair share. I would say every golfer that's played a professional tournament has had a message of abuse from someone that is related to gambling. I mean, you could see it this week. You go and type in a player's name who maybe isn't playing well, maybe someone who's favored to play well, you type the name into Twitter and you'll just see their name followed by abuse after abuse after abuse. “It's difficult because I've had 20 quid on England to win the World Cup, but at the same time, if it doesn't come in, I'm not going to send a message to Harry Kane and be like, why did you play rubbish? There's obviously individuals that have that problem. “I don't know, obviously I don't condone gambling in the slightest. It doesn't -- it's not really for me. It's a thing that me and my mate do every World Cup and Euros, that's it. “For me, it's definitely becoming a problem and the issue is, particularly in golf, it would be very easy to influence a bet, whether it's you're shouting on someone's backswing, shouting on a putting stroke. It's really easy. Obviously that is really hard to monitor, but it is definitely an issue.” Matt Fitzpatrick The Open

James McAvoy admits he lied to his agent and pretended to love the X-Men script before accepting the role "X-Men came in. I went, 'Where's it filming?' They went, 'Pinewood.'" "It's 40 minutes from my front door. I was like, awesome. And I was also like, X-Men, great, I loved the cartoon when I was a kid, that'd be brilliant." "I loved the movies that came out in 2000, Bryan Singer's original movies, they were brilliant.And I was like, what part? And they were like, it's Charles. And I was like, great, I get to be fucking Jean-Luc Xavier, it's gonna be brilliant." "They said the script is under wraps, so you need to go to this restaurant and they'll give it to you, and you read it, and then you have to give them an answer quick." "So I went, it was like a chain restaurant, it wasn't even fancy, not like a McDonald's, but it was like, you know, like a Burger King." "And I go in and I meet Matthew Vaughn, and he has a quick chat with me, and then I sit and read the script." "Nobody tells me that there's only like 60 pages of it at this point, and I feel like it's good, Jane Goldman did a great job, it's good, but it's incomplete, really. Don't know where it's going." "But I was like, this is a three-picture deal, they're paying well, it's 40 minutes from my front door, I'm a fan of the original material, I get to be young Jean-Luc Xavier. I was like, this is a no-brainer." "So my agent called me, and she was like, what do you think? And I was like, it's a work of genius, we're doing it."

NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez: “One on Iran and one on Cuba. Is Iran now bigger foreign policy priority for you than China and on Cuba — the Cuban government —” President Trump: “Iran is just a military operation. To me, Iran is something that was essentially largely over in two or three days because the Navy was wiped out almost immediately. The air force came next, the anti-aircraft came next. I mean, we're flying over Iran. We could take out their electric capacity in one hour. We have all the there's nothing they can do right now because everything is knocked out. They have no — again, no radar, no anti-aircraft. They have nothing, and we don't — and it was a decision I made. We discussed it. Pete, Marco, JD all of us, Chris. We discussed it. We can knock out their electricity in a matter of minutes if we wanted to. There's nothing they can do about it. We can knock out their oil in Kharg Island. The only thing we didn't take down was the oil. Because if we knock out, I call them the pipes. Very complex. But if you do that, it will take them forever to rebuild, meaning whoever — and hopefully it's a sane group of people, but whoever it is, it's going to be running that, and we're going to try to get people that are going to run it well. And you know, it's going to be a prosperous, wonderful place. It used to be, you know, if you go back, it used to be a very — the people are great. The people are smart and energetic and it used to be very successful. Now, it's a country run by fear. It's a country where they tell protesters, don't go outside, because if you do, we're going to kill you....Well, Cuba right now is in very bad shape. They're talking to Marco, and we'll be doing something with Cuba very soon. We're really focused on this, but we're dealing with Cuba. Marco, do you want to say a couple of words about it?” Secretary of State Rubio: “Yeah. I mean, Cuba has an economy that doesn't work and a political and governmental system. They can't fix it. It's not dramatic enough. It's not going to fix it, so they've got some big decisions to make over there.” Gutierrez: “But Secretary — Secretary Rubio, do you support and I know this is up to Congress, but do you support easing the Cuban trade embargo if you get more cooperation from Havana?” Rubio: “Well, I'm not going to discuss what we would talk about or not. Suffice it to say that the embargo is tied to political change on the island. The law has been the embargo is codified. And — but the bottom line is their economy doesn't work. It's a nonfunctional economy. It's an economy that has survived. It's for 40 — that revolution — it's not even a revolution, that thing they have — has survived on subsidies from the Soviet Union and now from Venezuela. They don't get subsidies anymore, so they're in a lot of trouble. And the people in charge are — they don't know how to fix it, so they have to get new people in charge. That's what happened.” Trump: “And the relationship we have with Venezuela has been, I think you could almost say, incredible. It's been really good. It's been good for Venezuela and it's been good for us. And I congratulate the Venezuelan baseball team because that was a big — that was a big win. And I guess they play another game tonight in the finals.” Rubio: “Against the U.S.” Trump: “And I said a lot of good things have happened to Venezuela lately. This is the first time they've ever been in the finals, and it was pretty exciting.
