Me ha costado 10 años invirtiendo en startups, montando dos de ellas y vendiendo ambas y hablando con cientos de emprendedores el indentificar un ÚNICO rasgo común que tienen todos los emprendedores de éxito: Cuando reciben feedback no rechistan: si no les cuadra, lo asimilan, agradecen y punto. Si les cuadra, lo ponen en producción el mismo día o tan pronto pueden y te lo muestran contentos. El resto: rechistan, te dan explicaciones de por qué eso no es posible, tiran balones fuera de campo, etc, etc. Es como hablar con un fucking muro. ES EL P*TO ÚNICO RASGO COMÚN QUE HE PODIDO IDENTIFICAR. Dios, por eso soy tan malo invirtiendo en startups.

My take: surround yourself by easy going, flowing nice people that will just enjoy a meal or a beer over a small talk, as Alejandro says. It’s already hard enough to work and develop a professional career in an ambitious industry. You don’t have to be a brilliant guy 24/7.
I do agree for the most part as a Spaniard, but I'm also incredibly grateful for my Spanish circle, because I feel like they serve as a fantastic reminder that life is more than just intellectual or physical achievement, and that little things like just spending time with one another is priceless and as big a part of a fulfilling life as the biggest achievements. Given my nature to push myself, when I'm exclusively with other people obsessed with their achievements for long periods I have noticed that I end up less happy than when I surround myself with people that help relativize work and personal achievement. For my case is also an incredibly humbling experience: "how can they not even care about achievements at all in the first place?", which I find very beneficial.

Mañana comenzará el Mundial, y muchos estarán atentos a los partidos. El fútbol nos recuerda algo que no debemos olvidar: la vida no es una carrera para lucirse en solitario, sino un camino que aprendemos a recorrer juntos. Quien no sabe pasar el balón, aunque tenga talento, todavía no ha entendido el juego. Y quien no sabe vivir con los demás y para los demás, todavía no ha entendido la vida. #ViajeApostólico

No es habitual que los políticos te den la oportunidad de explicar, como VC, cómo estás viendo que la IA puede cambiar el entorno laboral, especialmente en white collar jobs. La que se viene es grande y debemos prepararnos con formación, profesionalización y curiosidad por tech.
.@brasses_co nos habla de algo que cada vez pesa más en la Due Diligence: el desempeño social y los "pasivos ocultos" de una mala gestión preventiva.

“AI won’t replace your job”. Meanwhile AI:
we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

Lo nuevo de OpenAi cambia todo. Si alguien como yo ha podido crear esto en 10 minutos con GPT y Canva uniendo: - una bonita estética, - el producto de una marca top como @NudeProject_ , - y un personaje como @juliomeva, qué podrán hacer equipos creativos que sepan de verdad?

No one is going to stand up at your funeral and say: "He fucked like a wildebeest and had the best golf swing I've ever seen." Life is about loving people, not impressing them.
