I have a few friends like this that traded their 20s to get caked but now they feel “behind” in other aspects of life
You can do both. You can get rich and advance on all the other fronts too. Your 20s are a perfect time to just absolutely go experience it all.
Do not trade some money for atrophying your sense of adventure

I have a friend who’s 31 and makes close to $2M a year at a hedge fund in NYC.
He’s completely normal looking. Not ugly, not a Chad. Works out maybe 1-3x a week when he can. His entire life is work.
In the last 6 years he’s been on maybe 3 dates and gone out on 4 Friday nights. No girlfriend. Barely travels. Missed weddings, birthdays, everything.
But he’s 31 with millions in the bank.
He’s having a mid life crisis rn with me and 2 of our other friends from home.
“Was it worth it?”
Would you trade your entire 20s for that?

This graphic accurately explains so much of my life, ty @joshu for sharing
I;m not sure how to explain this phenomenon or if there's a name for it:
I got a decent espresso machine and setup recently for the first time. I used it a few times and then I just lost all interest in coffee altogether: making it, the machine, drinking coffee, etc.

I think the phenomenon is more introspective, like I spend too much time focusing on simplicity and future states instead of just living

You’ll find more answers in life by looking at the painting from a different angle than running through the museum
If you're married to someone who takes care of you, and is a good parent to your children, then you've won the game. There isn't anything out there that you're missing. You've already found what you're supposed to find.
So many people ruin their lives with a vague sense of dissatisfaction that is entirely constructed within their own minds. You're not going to find the answer by separating from your spouse, ruining your children's lives, partying, sleeping with strangers, "finding yourself" by taking a plane staring into the dead gas lamp sky of a thousand cities that all look the same in the heat of your misguided misery. I've blown my life enough to know that I'm skillful enough to recreate my own personal hell no matter the circumstances.
Stop trying to find the answer by running away. It's time to stay. Stay. You need to love harder. Explore what you already possess. Possess more only to give and enrich the life you currently have. Take responsibility for something important to you. Start a business. Take care of a relative. Be a better friend. Be a better parent. Create something beautiful. Love some more. Everything else is a dead end.

California is so beautiful
At some point the restaurants can’t get nicer, the trips can’t get more exotic, and the cars can’t get rarer. You can spend years searching for new experiences.
When you have a child, you realize the highest form of novelty is going through life with the family you build

$OPEN I just experienced one of those surreal moments where real life intersects with one of my largest investments.
Last night at an impromptu dinner, my cousin said she’s finally decided to move away from California’s high cost‑of‑living chaos and is actively looking for a home in the Midwest with a move planned soon.
She mentioned she’s been browsing Zillow… so I figured, why not check out Opendoor — the same site I wouldn’t have dared send anyone to a year ago.
But Kaz’s fingerprints are all over it now. The UX is clean, fast, intuitive. Listings feel curated instead of chaotic. And I’m not exaggerating — I found her the perfect home. Great neighborhood, great price, built in 2020, and the whole experience felt… modern. Trustworthy. Actually usable.
Wild to say this, but Opendoor went from “I’d never recommend it” to “I just found my relative’s next home on it.” 😅
That’s a real first‑hand look at a turnaround — and the dedication behind it. Impressive. Absolutely impressive.

In a network, 10% of the population can redefine what everyone else sees as normal. Tipping point is around 25%, not 50.
Bad actors become extremely expensive. You must aggressively punish bad actors while aggressively and visibly rewarding good actors.
Culture is always built at the extremes. You teaching everyone what the institution tolerates and what it promotes.

Personally I think this is a skill issue. It’s an excellent sign if the CEO of a company can structure the company in way where it can be nimble and change direction or reverse course with new information.

I talk a lot about keeping life simple and avoiding unforced errors.
However, very recently I believe I have made an unforced error in my personal life. Nothing irreversible but just have to soldier through it for a bit. Annoyed at myself that I did not think through alternative scenarios. I will have to treat this as an experience and a lesson.
Yes its a vague post but just trying to keep it real, nothing to do with professional life, etc

Damn. This is a great reminder.

The number of people on a team or in a slack channel is inversely correlated to total impact
After some threshold, 50% of the people self organize into just being note takers, coordinators, and messengers. Another 30% only work on the easy, shiny, and minimally useful things. Leaving only 20% of people doing the real work but now spending half their time filtering through noise and chaos
The ideal team size for a product or initiative is usually 9 or less
