if i had a billionaire husband and no prenup, i’d introduce him to the Chinese spy myself
JUST IN: Jensen Huang reportedly has no prenup, meaning a divorce could cost him $81 billion, the most expensive divorce ever.

i hate when i'm trying to comfort someone and i say, "i'm sorry that happened to you," and then they're like, "oh it's not your fault" like obviously, it's not my fucking fault

i love this quote “your future is shaped by the habits you repeat, not the goals you set”

one thing i love about nyc is that no one thinks your goals are insane. like you could tell someone you want to build a billion dollar company over drinks on a random thurs and all they’d ask is when you’re starting

this also kind of applies for how much one spends on rent lol like you could tell someone you spend $5K for a studio apt in west village with no aircon, over drinks on a random thurs and all they’d ask is what cross streets your apt is on

proof that harassing men pays off
Proud to announce that @Allips has joined Shown Media as our Head of Strategic Growth. A year ago I met Alix and she harassed me to join a founders community she was running sales for. Sent 9 messages, asked me "why i'm ghosting her" and randomly called me to MAKE sure i was joining. But it got better... i reached out to @OisinO a close friend and mentor... to see what he thought about Alix joining shown Oisin said "yo dude I think she like linkedin dm'd me like 6 times trying to sell me" She had also harassed Oisin.... That's when I knew she'd be prefect for the role.

I’m excited to announce I left my dream job to become the Head of Growth at @shownmedia - the agency behind @canva, @WithCoverageInc, and @Slash's biggest launches. A few months ago, @mattepstein texted me out of nowhere. "We should chat about sales. You're really good at it. I'd love your thoughts." I figured it was a quick call to pick my brain. But the more I learned about what Shown Media was doing- engineering viral launches, generating tens of millions in pipeline for their clients- the more I couldn't stop thinking about it. I'll be honest- I was skeptical at first. Matt is 23. I didn't know if I could take a leap on someone that young. But every conversation proved me wrong. He built a $13M+ agency in under two years. 100 people. Emmy winners. Ex-Mr. Beast creatives. And he understood distribution and virality at a level that made me rethink everything I thought I knew about marketing. Here's what made this so hard: I had to leave what was once my dream job. I was the top sales hire at Hampton, closing $4.6M+ in ARR in just over a year. Some of my closest friends work there. Every day I got to chat with the most ambitious founders and help them find their people. @juliapintar @brianschardt @shamusmadan @oliverbrocato @joshsuggss to name a few But I kept asking myself one question: what if I could help founders grow their actual businesses and put millions of eyes on the thing they're building. That's exactly what Shown Media does. The last time I felt this kind of pull was when I cold emailed Travis Kalanick and joined CloudKitchens with less pay, little equity, and no guarantee. That bet changed my entire career. This one feels the same. If you're a founder planning a launch, a fundraise, or a product announcement, I want to hear from youuuu!! 🚀

Excited to announce our $10M raise from @ycombinator and @sequoia. Going sub vocal will allow you to finally say what you couldn’t say out loud.

this is the best launch i’ve ever seen
I led engineering at Google DeepMind. Today, I'm proud to introduce Fo to give personal AI something no lab ever has... Humans. Other personal AI's pretend AI can do everything. Fo employs humans to do tasks that AI cannot. - 2x better at real-world task completion (beats other agents by 69%) - 94% trust rate (4x less likely to leak private info vs Muse, Instinct) Sign up for free: wajo.ai/join-wajo
