The Design of Time

Every year, when daylight saving time comes to an end, it makes me wonder about the concept of time. In a brief moment, we time travel. Twice a year, we experience this weird glitch, and to me, it acts as a constant reminder of how time, at least our numerical measurement of it, is perhaps one of the best designs humans have ever devised.

Create for Love not Likes

The truth is that very few ideas are genuinely original. Most of them are morphed or compounded versions of something similar, somewhere else in space and time, much like how virus - ideas and content mutate.

The Last Conference You’ve Attended, Could Have Been an Email.

Conferences, by default, are an extension of brands. Every participant, speaker, and investor must make a collective effort to produce events that tantalize the senses of the attendees. Make it feel like Live Aid. Embrace the spirit of Freddie Mercury - true showmanship. Make it so exciting that when people leave the event, they have nothing to say but this: "Man! You HAD to be there!"

Anything less than that kind of response is a failure and should have been an email.

D.R.E.A.M - Data Rules Everything Around Me

Make it a habit to do your research, test your ideas and products, have transparent conversations, and just do whatever it takes to harness as much raw data as possible.

I learned that compounding interest of great habits can help you become a person you haven’t even dreamed to be possible. I discovered that our bodies and mind are such amazing instruments and mechanism, possible of great achievement if we nourish it properly.

What happens when they call?

What happens when they call? Do you experience excitement, fear, or anxiety upon seeing a specific name appear while you're receiving a call? Do you answer eagerly, or do you hastily divert them to voicemail? These micro interactions serve as excellent indicators of the nature of your relationship with the caller and whether it's worth maintaining.

How frequently do you leave someone on "read" without responding? How long does it take you to reply to someone? These are all valuable metrics, gut feelings, manifesting themselves in real life.

The Entrepreneurship Sacrifice

Entrepreneurial success demands everything you currently are in exchange for the potential of becoming what you aspire to be. You must have an unwavering commitment, and you must trust that you will reach your goals no matter what. And if and when you do, you will no longer be the person you once were.
