Congrats to you and the team. That's fantastic growth! Thrilled to be on board as both a customer and an early indie investor in the Circle.

Circle is immensely impressive partially because they’ve figured out how to maintain a high shipping velocity and focus on the things that moves the business forward year over year. This has been quite obvious through their consistent monthly investor updates. Congrats 🎉

This past weekend, I hosted three of my favorite founder friends in Mayakoba, Mexico for a sensemaking retreat. The idea was to gather a few of my most curious friends and spend three entire days in conversation on entrepreneurship, philosophy, AI, family, community, culture,

Something I've come to believe: Most "AI mandate" memos from brilliant CEOs feel kinda vague and miss the point. They nail the why and the urgency. But the actual steps rarely seem to go beyond a simplistic mandate telling their workforce to "adopt AI." To me, it doesn't feel
