So we know the Federal Govt has limited power to curb inflation. Most policy seems aimed at subsidies which would may actually drive more inflation not reduce it. What if they went all in to support the supply chain? Wartime-like effort to bring it back in line? Plausible?

Still struggling to believe how fast this happened. Over the last two years we’ve seen interest rates go from 2.6% to 6.2% and home prices grow 25%+. So for the monthly payment of what was a $600K house you can now only afford what was a $300K house. 🤯

Can someone please explain this weird Internet trend where people record themselves watching a video and then repost it split screen alongside the original video? What am I missing? Why would I want to watch someone watch a video?
Excited for classes to start again today at @LeMoyne! @MDEredita @Just1Read @JimJoseph83

I’ve worked with entrepreneurs across the full political spectrum, but one thing I love about the context of entrepreneurship, we talk about their story, their goals, them as a person. Amazing how all of the noise clears out when you focus on the individual.
When you’re scheduling a meeting and the other person knows you have young kids but says “I’m really crammed, can we meet at 6pm?”
Observation of behavior from today’s #economy. Customers make investments driven by 1) Current #cashflow 2) Expected cash flows 3) Asset Values. Thus stock market has significant impact but cashflow keeping steady. Agree? @MoreGoodJobs #VC @Trace_Cohen @JoeMaruschak @dunkhippo33

A lot of #VC is re-examining the exuberant investing thesis of the past 10yrs. Are any seriously modeling out alternatives w/ more emphasis on “profit” and “cashflow”? @Trace_Cohen @MDEredita @MoreGoodJobs @MacConwell @AngelSpanInc @somakc @JoeMaruschak @turoczy @benrav

Follow up. Had 2 convos w/ founders this week, a seed-stage & a unicorn. Seed founder says investors pitching smaller rounds for shorter runway. Unicorn believes late-stage investors will start stacking liquidation pref etc. to cover downside but keep higher valuations. Thoughts?
This is awesome. I was not expecting this much interest in the topic. It’s something @MDEredita and I have been exploring a lot@lately. I’d like to host a conversation about it through @MoreGoodJobs. If you’re interested in joining, like or rely and I can DM you the link.
Put into perspective how much #wealth was created in the last decade. Since 2010 the number of cars with a value over $1M on the planet went from a few thousand to over 100,000. That means the global market cap for $1M cars is now in the $100’s of Billions …

Just want to say how genuinely grateful I am for the @MoreGoodJobs community. Every convo I learn something not just for #community building but also my business. Thanks @_zach_marshall, @MDEredita & I are seriously considering using the SEAL doc template from calm capital.

W/ increased frequency as I have convos with #entrepreneurs & #communitybuilders I respect, there is growing disdain for the meritocracy of modern #VentureCapital. Who & what gets funded w/ focus on growth almost irrespective of other concerns. Thoughts? @MoreGoodJobs
