The Madoff documentary on Netflix is amazing and totally depressing. You’re waiting for some saving moment, some moral story, some redemption. Never comes. Suicides, death, ruined retirees. Brilliant but harrowing.

Founders sending revenue graphs... Considerably narrowing the x-axis on the graph does make the revenue line look steeper. Well played.

Are amazing customer support people recruited all the time while dealing with customers? It's so rare & so obvious when you get someone who is really good. Particularly when they're good relative to the baseline experience at that company.

Interesting to see if there is a reaction to this by the big stock based comp spenders

Buffett: "It's been our experience that envy is a bigger motivation than greed. You can hand somebody a $2 million bonus, and they’re fine until they find out that the person next to them got $2 million and $1, and then they’re sick for the next year."

I found a public services card on Iona Road a few days ago. I thought I knew who the owner was but it turned out I had the wrong "Shauna". So, Shauna, if you lost you public services card in Glasnevin recently, ping me and I'll get it back to you. Please RT.

Really impressed with the summarization feature of . Transcription is one thing, but rarely read back over in my own experience. The auto summary piece was excellent and seems to be very clever about picking up on actions. Multiple thumbs up 👍👍

We’ve seen multiples / market cap cut because of interest rate and cost of capital changes. Next question is how much of future earnings hits are priced in to their stocks. The two are different. Some b2b tech bizs will find out how discretionary they are. Buckle up.
