Room 14. Trust the process. Celebrate the miracles…28all. Eya. *JG, JD* The Warm-Up: “Friendship, without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.” ~James Francis Byrnes The Core: “To lead the people, walk behind them.” ~Lao Tzu “I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief.” ~C.S. Lewis “Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.” ~Maya Angelou “Just because people don’t get ‘it’ that doesn’t mean it aint ‘it’. You’ve got to bet on yourself.” ~Dr. Marcus Collins “This is not an access tournament. It’s a national championship event. You should have to do something hard to get in.” ~Jay Bilas, on expanding the NCAA men’s tournament “The fact that we continue to fall in love with people and ideas and places is not evidence of our cupidity or our dumbness, but our strength. When we love…really love…in any way, we are announcing to the world that we intend to survive.” ~Tennessee Williams (@__nitch) “Don’t market to your audience, connect with them. Be a part of the tribe, if you’re outside trying to push in, you will fail. Some brands today act like undercover cops, trying to ‘catch’ their audience. If you’re in the gang already you don’t have to infiltrate them.” ~Chris Kubby “The best way to gain trust from others is to simply get your life in order. You are responsible for your health, your mood, your finances, your relationships with others. You want to attract better opportunities, start taking responsibility for where you currently are in life.” ~Orange Book “The weapon may be formed, but it won’t prosper | When the darkness falls, it won’t prevail | ‘Cause the God I serve knows only how to triumph | My God will never fail | Oh, my God will never fail…| I’m gonna see a victory | I’m gonna see a victory…” ~Elevation Worship, See A Victory “The deepest connections are cultivated through intellectual intimacy. Diving in each other’s mind to find understanding that goes beyond the surface, swimming in each other’s essence to find depth beyond the superficial, an exploration of the soul through emotional intelligence.” ~Billy Chapata “The right path in life feels like you are playing a game: you level up, you travel around, you learn new rules, you upgrade your skills, you get stronger, smarter, wealthier, you encounter challenges you cannot solve alone, you connect with the people you need, you make progress.” ~Orange Book “Realize this: In your struggle for power you will stir up rivalries and create enemies. There will be people you cannot win over, who will remain your enemies no matter what. But whatever wound you inflicted on them, deliberately or not, do not take their hatred personally.” ~Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power “You may not see it today or tomorrow, but you will look back in a few years and be absolutely perplexed and awed by how every little thing added up and brought you somewhere wonderful—or where you always wanted to be. You will be grateful that things didn’t work out the way you once wanted them to.” ~Tim Karsliyev Last Set: “A year ago, I think the big question Bill was is there going to be enough productivity gains in the world to justify this compute buildout? Remember people thought, ‘Oh we’re pulling forward all the demand for NVIDIA.’ ‘This is like dark fiber in 2000,’ ‘We’re going to be way over supplied,’ ‘We’re going to have a glut…’ I think the evidence on the field is that that was wrong. I think the evidence on the field is that in fact, just like we talked about on the last pod – we tend to underestimate the size of these super cycles because when you have these phase shifts everything changes. You have positive reflexivity in the world. More begets more because it’s better…” ~BG2 w/ Bill Gurley & Brad Gerstner | NVDA, Chips, AI Compute Build Out, AI Impact on Big Tech | E03 Food For Thought: “Bob [Marley’s] attempts to remain neutral and apolitical were being tested. He still performed in front of eighty thousand people [at the Smile Jamaica Show] because, as he said, ‘The people who are trying to make the world worse aren’t taking a day off, so how can I?’ He was scheduled to sing just one song in front of the huge crowd, but ended up playing for ninety minutes with the bullet freshly lodged in his arm and his wounds clearly visible.” ~Chris Blackwell, The Islander
