Yesterday at @TheChainsmokers concert, I couldn’t stop thinking about two things:
How many ways you could use AI at concerts, from everything happening behind the scenes to the lighting. Feels like a $700M business.
I WANT to build a huge company so I can bring thousands of employees together and organize cool stuff. Imagine a company retreat with 10,000 people all having a great time…
Thanks, @Cloudflare, for the invite. That was fun!
Fun fact: they wouldn’t let me in with my bag, so I took my laptop out, left the bag hanging on a railing outside Oracle Park, and partied with my laptop the whole time 😂
After like five gin and tonics, I went back for my bag… and it was gone. Luckily, security had spotted it a few hours earlier and taken it, and I managed to convince them to give it back.
Sometimes you need to take risks to really have fun ;)
Business is like the gym.
It’s easy to finish your workout when you’re feeling good. But the real question is: do you still finish it when you’re not?
If you like talking to people, go into sales. If you like spending all day at your computer and in the terminal, become a software engineer. If you like being on social media and have an eye for design, go into marketing.
But if you like doing a bit of everything… there’s only one option: become a founder.
Go into debt if you have to, but move to Shenzhen 🇨🇳
You’ll see the best factories in the world.
You’ll find the best services in the world.
You’ll find a society that’s way better than what we have in the West.
You’ll ship your hardware product 100 times faster.
Just book a ticket!
