I just left the hellscape formerly know as Pacific Palisades where I’ve lived for 26 years. I’m mad at what I saw. Our politicians have failed us. Unprepared, unimaginative, understaffed, now overwhelmed. Heads must roll for this disaster. I personally saw 100+ homes fully…
Obama made sure that Rick Caruso, who is extremely competent, lost to utterly incompetent Mayor Karen (her real name)
Rick Caruso, billionaire real estate developer, called into LA local news: “This is like a third world country… there is no water coming out of the fire hydrants. LA Mayor Karen Bass is on a foreign trip to Ghana.”
There is a real risk that the Palisades fire will hit Santa Monica and West LA overnight. That would just be unprecedented.
I haven't seen Landman yet but this is an all-time speech by Jerry Jones. Probably because he’s not acting. That’s his real life.
Amazing opportunity to work with my better half who has done some extremely successful ground up development projects here in SoCal.

Pacific Palisades is the most hidden gem neighborhood in LA
One of my biggest personal financial regrets is selling a lot of my $TSLA I bought in 2012 over the subsequent years. I killed the compounding! 💀

Getting to cash flow positive is one of the most important and rewarding stages of the founder journey.
Here’s how the S&P 500 has performed every year since 1874
Wow, didn’t know Jamie Salter was partners with Mikey Rubin at GSI Commerce. Both have since respectively crushed.

What a great year. Let's all work together to make 2025 even better!
The S&P 500 is up 47% since Michael Burry said ‘Sell’.
New business idea. We buy this hotel out of foreclosure. Equip guests with taser guns, armed IDF soldiers, and Humvees. Wait until city gets its act together, then sell for large profit. Who’s in?!
Proud angel investor here thanks to my better half @Gelenasays
Most impressive part of the $240m acquisition of Olive and June: The brand was founded in 2013 as a physical nail salon and by 2019 it was only doing $2m of revenue, with an experimental new product line of in-home nail care kits. From 2019 to 2024 it grew from $2m to $92m.

If you’re going through a tough time, just keep moving. One foot in front of the other until you get to the other side.

I started @DellTech 37 years ago with $1000. Revenues in 1984 were $6 million. Last year's revenues were $94.2 billion. Impossible is nothing.
