“As you move through this life & this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life —& travel — leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks — on your body or on your heart — are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.” - Bourdain

Funding rounds aren't milestones. It shouldn't be your goal to raise a series A. It should be your goal not to need to.

Kobe Bryant says he would hire a car service to get to road games before the team’s first bus so he could be inside the arena before the crowd arrived and prepare in complete silence, and says he would prepare meticulously for whatever looks the opposing defense was going to give him
“If we had a road game, say Miami, a 7:30pm game, I’d still get up early and do weights. I’d have breakfast, get on the bus, go to shootaround, get my shots up, come back to the room, do treatment, ice, stretch. I might watch a movie, I might watch a little extra film.”
“Then for the bus to the stadium, we had two buses. The first bus was generally around 4:45pm and the second bus was around 5:30pm. I was generally on the early one, just to get treatment and get shots up, because I liked getting to the arenas early.”
“Sometimes I would actually get a car and leave before the first bus because even though the first bus was leaving early, there were still people coming into the stands. I liked getting to arenas when there was nobody in there and you could kind of feel the purity of the place, especially in a road environment.”
“As far as how many shots I was trying to get up, it depended on how I was feeling physically and who we were playing. If I was playing the Spurs, I’d work on short-corner shots, mid-elbow shots, those types of shots because those were the shots their defense would give up. If I was playing Memphis and Tony Allen, I’d work on a lot of back-to-the-basket stuff, putting my body on Tony, making sure my footwork was right, making sure I was hiding the ball so he couldn’t swipe it. I’d go through those muscle-memory things. The positions of the shots would vary depending on the opponent.”
wtf. Everyone is sidelined already

Broke down what it means to actually do AI Transformation work, how to be an effective FDE, and what workflows we've seen at the enterprise level.
Give it a listen and let me know what you think. Will make more content like it if people find it helpful.
Thank you Greg for having me on!
HOW TO BECOME A FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEER (53 MIN MASTERCLASS)
Some forward deployed engineers are getting PAID $1M+/year (kinda crazy, I know)
And I REALIZED almost nobody talks about HOW they do it in any detail. It's basically nowhere online.
So I asked someone who does it ALL DAY LONG for Fortune 500 companies to walk me through it, step by step. and he shares EXACTLY how he does it

Here's what I learned:
1. They start by listening, not building. They interview the people doing the work and let agents quietly read the company's data for a few weeks. The real process is almost always 3x longer than the one on paper.
2. They sort every step into four buckets: delete it, automate it with a simple rule, give it to an AI agent, or keep a human on it. A surprising amount ends up in the first bucket.
3. They build inside the tools the company already uses. Nobody has to learn a new app. When a human needs to sign off, it's just a Slack message.
4. They use the cheapest model that gets the job done. Most of this work doesn't need the most expensive AI.
5. They measure everything before and after, then come back 6 months later and prove it worked.
This + concrete client examples + way more on today's episode of @startupideaspod (thanks to @vasuman)
A full course pretty much on the topic aivalable to you 100% for free.
This episode is for ANYONE who wants to be a FDE or who wants to make their company AI-native by deploying agents.
