One Quote:
“I never allow myself to have an opinion on anything that I don’t know the other side’s argument better than they do.” - Charlie Munger
You don’t have to have an opinion on everything. It is perfectly acceptable to plead no contest. Opinions aren’t free - you have to work to earn the right to have them. Once you internalize that, you’ll start doing things differently.
One Podcast:
Not From Silicon Valley has quickly become my favorite new podcast. Each episode chronicles the stories of entrepreneurs from frontier and emerging economies as they build and scale their businesses. I have listened to every episode and am craving more.
Highly recommend the “Delivering On Demand in Angola” episode as a starting point!
Listen to it on Apple Podcasts.
One Tweet:
The stats on YouTube constantly blow my mind. This tweet had some great ones. 500 hours of video uploaded every single minute is absolute insanity!
One Article
A Framework for the Metaverse - Matthew Ball
There are a few writers who are so thoughtful that I simply drop everything on my plate to read their latest work when it drops.
Matthew Ball is at the top of that list. I feel lucky to call him a friend.
He just released a monster collection of writing on the metaverse. Admittedly, this is going to take me a while to get through, but the foreword piece above was a great place to start.
One Bonus:
Nature is simply mesmerizing. Enjoy it this weekend.

(P.S. a note from Fundrise: here's all the legal jargon we know you love reading)
Another memorizing movie that follows a herd of animals around is March of the Penguins (2005) a documentary co-written and directed by Luc Jacquet about the annual back and forth 70-mile walk Emperor penguins take in order to find a mate and raise a baby chick in the harsh climate of Antarctica, where the average temperature is 58 degrees below 0.
Life Lesson: Life is a beautiful struggle–splendor and sadness co-exist for us all.
