Renowned investor and philanthropist Mohnish Pabrai on the single worst reason to start a company: "When we embark on a startup, we should never do a startup to make money. It's the worst reason to start a company." It's a bold claim, especially in a world where valuations, funding rounds, and exit strategies dominate the startup conversation. So if money shouldn't be the goal, what should be? "The purpose of business is not to make money. The purpose of business is to deliver an incredible product or service to humanity." The distinction matters. Founders who chase profit first tend to optimise for the wrong things, while founders who chase genuine value creation tend to build something people actually want. And when you get that right, the financial reward takes care of itself: "If you do that, the money is a side effect. It'll happen. We don't need to focus on it." Mohnish Pabrai leaves aspiring founders with one essential question to ask themselves before starting anything: "Do we have a product or a service that we are thinking about that we could bring into this world that is going to improve the world in some way?" That's the filter. Not "can this make money?" but "can this make a difference?"

Announcing the Operators Only Podcast An experiment I'm running with Rameel Sheikh ⚙️ where we talk to startup operators who built iconic startups and/or are building the next breakout companies. First episode is with Preeya Goenka 🐝, the COO at beehiiv 🐝. - Preeya joined Beehiiv as employee #7 and Tyler Denk 🐝's chief of staff. - In case you live under a rock, Beehiiv's one of the fastest growing companies in tech right now. Impossible to be on Twitter and not hear about them. - She's played a big role in their success. - Excited for more folks to get to know her story and see some of the behind the scenes of how they're building Beehiiv. - We talked about her journey prior to Beehiiv, how she met Tyler, why/when founders should hire a chief of staff (including why my tweet saying the opposite is wrong), acquihires, and more. Give the show a listen on Youtube, Spotify, and wherever you listen to podcasts. (link further in the thread) ----- A couple notes on why I wanted to do this: - I've long felt that startup operators are some of the most unsung heroes in tech. - We constantly hear the same stories from the same founders (especially CEOs) and VCs involved in successful companies. - Much less common to hear from the early employees that made big but less appreciated contributions to making these companies successful. - These folks are the unsung heroes of the startup world. We think their stories should be told more often. - Lastly, I think we need spaces for more nuanced conversations with builders in startups. Too much fluff and surface level narrative in most tech media. Not enough depth about the craft of the game itself. Transparently, I don't think we've yet created the perfect representation of what I want to exist. But I think we've made a good start and will iterate from here. --- This is very much a WIP. And we're new to podcasting. Figuring out the format as we go. Any feedback on how we can make the show better, questions to ask, guests to have on, etc.... is welcome. 🙏

--> But I also want to talk about the thing most people are not talking about, and that is this air pollution gets inside of our buildings. So it's not enough simply to go inside. You need to go inside to a place that has good levels of filtration. The reality is we breathe more outdoor air pollution indoors. That is shocking to most people, but it's the truth.

We have a habit of forgetting to talk about some of the most important issues facing ordinary Americans. At the top of my list? Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than at any time in the history of America. Our country is rapidly becoming an oligarchy.

RFK Jr came to Michigan today and I had to try to talk to him about improving women’s health. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to talk to him, but I did talk to someone at HHS that works with him. My advice for HHS is that we need to start changing the standards of care. The science is there, it’s just about implementing it. Some examples: most women labor on their backs, babies get their cords clamped right away, and mom and baby are not getting an hour uninterrupted of skin time after birth- all things proven to be harmful. It’s time for HHS to set the standards so we can improve our nations health, starting with the most vulnerable - our babies.

“Some years ago, my family pressured me to build my own house, saying that a man at my level should have moved beyond renting an apartment. But I refused. Instead, I rented an apartment in the most expensive estate in the state. I chose to invest the hundreds of millions I could have spent building a big mansion into a business that would generate more value. Some people use their own hands to bury capital by building houses—money they could have used to start or expand a business. Put your money where it multiplies, not where it sleeps.” — Chidomere

Every chapter in the history of my X account has granted me some of my closest friendships, showcased some of my greatest triumphs, and helped me overcome some of my most challenging obstacles. Here’s to many more adventures on X 🥂

Weinstein: We are going to talk about this Hantavirus situation. I think you will get a view here that is different from what you hear elsewhere. We are going to do some integrating of evolutionary biology with some of the value we got from the graduate level education we were put through during COVID. So we've learned some of the propaganda tricks and some of the medical and public health tricks, and we're trying to divine what is going on with this strange story. So that is upcoming. Heying: I also want to talk about the drought in Washington state. Weinstein: Yes, and maybe a relationship between such things, which is— Heying: There is at least a thread to tie the two stories together, yes.

I spent $3k on a singing coach last year. Why? Because the voice is the most important music instrument we were never taught to play. In this exercise, Jimmy was teaching me how to unlock my deeper, louder, and more commanding voice. I've invested a lot of money in personal growth, and to be honest, that $3k was likely some one of the best investments I've ever made.

📹Spent the afternoon in Mitchells Plain, connecting with residents to get a sense of their views on the deployment of the SANDF across the Cape Flats today. Some are excited, some have doubts, but there is a sense of hope that this is a step forward in ending the violence ravaging our families. Drugs + Guns: this is what they want OFF the streets!

“I was trying purposefully not to be clever with this. I wanted to get a very simple chorus but one which still had some substance to the harmony and melody. Something that was easy to digest but still had a bit of character to it. So Much is about mortality, getting old, all the bright, cheerful subjects, but I think when you get to my sort of age, you either run away from mortality or you jump into it and try and live life to the full and that always seems to make a lot more sense to me. The countries that seem most alive are those that have death as part of their culture.” - pg

.Naval on Finding Technical Co-founders Join the conversation: "It's getting harder and harder because these days those people just go and start their own company. So what do you bring to the table that a good technical co-founder would not have? That's number one. And that would either mean you have some particular deep insight and relationships into a market and you have capital because you've got to bring a lot to the table because you're not creating the product anymore. Or secondly, you have to have a relationship that's pre-existing. You worked together before at some company or you've gone to school together. Outside of those cases, it's incredibly hard to recruit a quality technical co-founder. And I'm not even sure you're in a position to start a company. This is why so many companies come out of universities or come out of the Bay Area because there you're just very likely to have business founders and technical founders next to each other. The business founders at least have enough technical experience that they can properly evaluate the technical co-founder. And then the business founder has to hustle and raise money, recruit people, have a vision, have a customer base, have a market ready to go, and have proven themselves. And now lots and lots of other things to balance out the skills a technical founder brings to the table. There are now more successful cases of solo technical founders starting companies than there are of solo non-technical founders starting companies. So it is an uphill climb. I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you.”

Bloomberg's James Seyffart on why ETF flows are a mirror, not a signal "They're just a piece of the pie. Honestly, they reflect what's going on in the broader market more than anything. There was a time where you got an ETF on an underlying asset and that actually moved the market, people thought it was going to bring more demand, whatnot. There's some truth to that." "But for the most part it's just reflecting what's going on in the market. We had some puking in June when the whole market was puking, which was the first time the ETFs really puked up some Bitcoin. It's really just a reflection of what's going on." "And some underlying heartbeat of demand, I think, is true from advisors."

Not to be that guy and to be clear I think Sagat is too good ( damage and carry is too high), but this is actually one of the easiest ways to get the match on your terms, especially if you have a fast walk speed he has some of the most whiff punishable buttons in the game 😬

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on if he feels there's a target on our back as champions: "From today, no, because we start from scratch, from zero tomorrow, and we're going to have to prove we have the level to go back to that position again. "But I think that happened in the last three seasons: at some point we were first, some of the time we were chasing it, and you never know what is better. "You give me the choice, I want to be first, I want to be hunted, and I want to be in control of our future rather than depend on somebody else."

This is the hard truth black people need to come to understand. And most of the “black leaders” today don’t talk about this. It’s on us to incentivize businesses to want to be in black communities. It’s on us to be a part of the community that allows those businesses to thrive. Not be part of the reason they need to shut down. We don’t talk about accountability enough and that needs to change.
