“A soul that has never been tested against genuine consequence has no contours. It's a petrified and unformed soul. How can you stand for judgement if you've never faced the potentiality of failure.”

Warren Buffett: "Think about a company with a market cap of $500 billion. To justify paying this price, you would have to earn $50 billion every year until perpetuity, assuming a 10% discount rate. And if the business doesn't begin this payout for a year, the figure rises to $55 billion annually, and if you wait three years, $66.5 billion."
“So long as they fought back with all their strength, with all their heart, as they were doing, they were safe at least from fear.”
Ursula Le Guin, from Planet of Exile, 1966

9 days after being fired, i'm launching my startup to the world.
introducing RallyUp (@rallyupteam): a platform for companies to create, automate, and track linkedin posting competitions that boost reach, culture, and recruiting.
launching september 1st with 10 private beta partners (almost at capacity) but room for 2-3 more all-star teams.
if you miss out on the september cohort, i'm opening up to 50 companies for our q4 challenge in october.
learn more + get your company involved here → rallyup.team/
why now? trust for brands is at an all-time low. companies investing in employee-led growth have an unfair competitive advantage.
• 76% of people trust employee posts over branded ones
• employee content drives 8x more engagement than brand content
• 60% of job seekers research employers on social media
and guess what? it costs a fraction of other marketing costs. early teams get my hands-on expertise guiding them through the process.
i've never been more bullish on linkedin. it's not cringe anymore, it's a goldmine for companies.
now why me?
i saw employee-led growth work magic at both ramp and beehiiv (two companies crushing this strategy).
in 90 days i've generated 2.5 million impressions. so i know a bit about how this works.
i also launched my very own linkedin 50 day challenge with people all over the world posting consistently on linkedin. everyday in our groupchat there are more and more wins.
lastly, i just got fired and am now all in.
now friends and strangers of x, please do me a solid.
so i can prove to my father-in-law that entrepreneur doesn't mean unemployed, comment a company/team/person that would benefit from this 👇
all gas. no breaks. #firedtoacquired
stay building, alec

At this point I’m reading this Druckenmiller quote to myself every single day
Sometimes twice a day
Question for @kyliu99
Last year, I started reading again after a decade of banking / investing jobs taking all my time. What print Fantasy magazine would you recommend if I only have time for one?
I’m loving Gene Wolfe (so much), LeGuin, Pratchett, you, and @aptshadow
Anyone else havign your @beehiiv site have a formatting issue with the navigation bar?

Outsmart your worst tendencies
It’s much easier and reliable to build a process or backup to solve your own common mistakes than it is rely on your ability to completely exterminate those tendencies…

Warren Buffet has already given away 56.6% of his shares in Berkshire Hathaway. If he still owned them he'd be the richest man in the world.

Can anyone tell what this book outlined in red is? From Charlie Munger's bookshelf...
@kejca @rationalwalk @LibertyRPF
Not that reading things on his shelf should necessarily be a goal.. just curious and annoyed I can't tell what it is!
