Travis Kalanick reveals Bill Gurley pressured him to take a $6 billion valuation. Two months later, he raised at $17.5 billion. "Gurley was convinced it was the end of the world and we've got to raise, and just take your first term sheet, just f*cking take it." "We got...

Gurley got scared. It’s well documented.

Gurly argued on his BG2 podcast that free trade was good because it raised a lot of people in China out of poverty at the cost of hollowing out the middle class in the USA. That very elitist take turned me off to him; not a fan.

Travis' run at Uber will be studied for decades. No denying his genius and success nor the poor oversight of the culture that led to some pretty awful things happening on his watch. Either way, love seeing him with the gloves off, especially when it comes to VCs.

Travis is a operator. Gurley watches from the sideline and pretends to play.

@shervin Can someone say vendetta? Travis settling scores should not be confused with an objective history of what happened.

If the guy is pushing for a 6bn valuation and you then close at 3x that then that should just end that type of conversation, and that vc should just stop trying to get involved.

Never realized what I’d been missing until now. His previous talks felt mostly buzzword-heavy and surface-level, completely different energy here. Great stuff - really loved it @trviks

The dominant silicon photonics IP poetfolio is acquired by Nvdia on the cheap because Comven and ARCH panicked during the telecom bust in the early aughts and screwed over the founder of one of their portfolio companies. They ruined a good man and blew up an opportunity yo exit for a lot more than they did. I hope karma found the people responsible. I learned very valuable lessons from that episode.

The tell is Gurley wanted certainty and Kalanick had a close call. The biggest calls in a company are never the clean 80/20s, those get automated. They are the close ones where a framework narrows the field but somebody still makes the leap, never the investors leap to make.

Joe Rogan issues a HEARTFELT apology to Theo Von over his recent comments: “I apologized to Theo. He knows I love him and he said that and we laughed and we joked around about it and I apologized for the way I talked about this. But I felt like I needed to explain to other people too, to get what was going on in my mind out and it certainly wasn’t like covering for Israel and it wasn’t trying to paint him out like he’s damaged or treat him like a child.” “I just want him to be okay. And when you’re dealing with someone, or when you have had experience dealing with someone where it winds up going very badly, and then you’re just left with this feeling, like, what could I have done? You know, I didn’t do a good job of it, especially the Marcus King thing. That’s terrible what I did. I didn’t mean to.” “I was just trying to—you don’t think sometimes when you are in the middle of a podcast. You’re having a conversation, you don’t think about the impact that it’s gonna have. That’s one of the reasons why, you know, podcasts are so weird because like you’re in the middle of trying to be entertaining, but you’re also just having a conversation and I f*cked up because I felt so badly about it. It was like there’s got to be a way to address this where I just express myself and so that’s why we’ve never done this before.” “We’ve never done this kind of a thing after a podcast, but it was very important to me. He’s an awesome person, a great friend, and one of the most interesting and funny people I’ve ever met in my life. And I just felt terrible about it. And I told them I would never bring it up publicly again, but I think it is important to let people know that aspect of it.” “So I’m gonna call him and clear this with him and make sure he’s cool with me saying this, but I’m pretty sure he is gonna be. And that’s it… I’m a human and I’m flawed like all of us and I f*ck up and it’s probably not the last time. It’s definitely not. I’m going to f*ck up again. But my intention is never to hurt anybody, ever. And that’s why I mean I very rarely if ever even get upset at anyone other than like corrupt politicians. But I do my best to just try to be a good person, spread positivity.”

Trump on World Cup: Trump: All I did was ask for a review because I didn’t think it was a foul. And I think it would have been terrible if they wouldn’t allow, you know, a top player—maybe the best, maybe among the best players on the team—to play. I think it would have had a big stain, How would you feel if we took Messi out? You know, “Messi, you ran into somebody.” Or we took Ronaldo out. “Ronaldo, you bumped into somebody. We’re going to take you out of the game.” Or Harry Kane. “Harry Kane, we’re going to take you out of the game, Harry, because you happened to hit somebody a little bit harder.” You can’t do that. If you would have taken him out, I think it would have really stained this incredible championship. We’ve got to have our best players, and Belgium has a great team, by the way. We have to have our best players, and they have to have their best players. If we win or we lose, it’s fair. Otherwise, let’s say we lost him and we lose the game—it would be a terrible thing. So I think they made a really brilliant decision. I think the referee’s call was horrible, and nobody talks about that. They talk about the red card like it’s fine. Nobody talks about the referee’s decision to issue the red card. I didn’t know what the hell a red card was. When I found out, I said, “You’ve got to be kidding.” This guy just holds it up: “OK, your best player is not going to play in the next game.” I said, “Wow, that’s a lot of power. That’s terrible.” But then I looked at his past, and it wasn’t so great.

.Naval: There was a story that I read about Elon Musk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something. And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.” And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust. And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it. Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes. Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy. He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.

Elizabeth Olsen says her husband got down on one knee to propose and had to stand back up because the wooden dock hurt “My husband is incredibly neurotic, very uncomfortable all the time, always has something wrong with his anything, his coccyx, his pinky - but he actually has things wrong with him, but they’re always like this 1% odd thing and they have real diagnosis” “And so when we got engaged, we went to this place in Northern California in Inverness, and he was just so annoyed. There wasn’t a cheeseboard. He asked for a cheeseboard and we got there and I was like, ‘You’ve never cared this much about a cheeseboard before.’ And he was freaking out” “This place had a wood burning fireplace that was massive and he couldn’t start a fire and he was like, ‘What kind of man doesn’t know how to start a fire?’ He was just so mean to himself trying to figure out how to get this fire going. He was like, ‘It’s embarrassing if I had to ask someone to get a fire’” “And then it was 30 minutes later he proposed when we were outside, but he needed there to be a cheeseboard, fire going, in order for it to feel romantic or something” “He tried to go down on his knee, he’s going to hate me saying this, but it’s fine because he’s charming. But we were on this wood dock, so he goes down on his knee and he’s like, ‘Ow, sorry, this really hurts, back up’” “And it was just the two of us. There’s not a single photo. It was just so lovely. I loved it so much just because it was him and all of his like-”

Quentin Tarantino recounts a dinner with Robert De Niro during the making of Jackie Brown, where he asked him whether he understood when he landed the role of Vito in The Godfather Part II, that it would change his life. De Niro’s answer revealed a great deal about his mindset at the time. “I was working with Robert De Niro on Jackie brown, and we went out to dinner once. - When he got Vito in the Godfather Part II, that was going to be a big thing for him. He won the Oscar for it - it set him up to be a movie star. So I asked him - and I've asked this to quite a few actors when it comes to when they got the role that would end up changing their career - did he realize that the moment when he got the role, that it would have this sort of effect? And he goes oh, “I tried not to let it do that. I tried not to think about that” I go, "really? and why did you try not to think about that?" “Well because I’ve seen it happen and then go the other way” And then he used an example. “There was this guy, he was a young actor, and he was part of our crowd in New York. He'd been doing okay, but we were all in the same boat. Then all of a sudden he got a lead role. He's one of the two leads in a brand new movie by a director who had just done a smash hit.” And he's talking about Larry Pierce (the director) and uh... Goodbye Columbus. ”And he started dining out on it. And all of a sudden I go to the places that we used to go to, and now he's there and everyone's kind of revolving around him. He's kind of holding court. He's not doing anything bad; he's just arisen in the way that none of us have - and we're all treating him different. Then the movie comes out; nobody likes it - The movie comes out, and it goes away, and he's exactly in the same place he was. And I just wanted to make sure that that would never happen to me because I watched it happen to him.” Quote from Video Archives Podcast, sourced from James Whale Bake Sale YouTube channel. Clip below from the Godfather Part II (1974)

I remember going into a bathroom, pulling down his pants, and then crying because of how hard I was laughing.” “It genuinely was the smallest p*nis I've ever seen in my life.
