Padel is the most networked sport in Miami by far, more than golf. I have played sports my entire life and I’ve never seen a sport that leads to more connections than this. It’s become an edge to meet people

FanBasis went from $1M run rate to $100M in 4 years. Then went from $100M to $1B+ run rate within 12 months. My first employees and our CPO were both there before any of that, back when there was no traction and no guarantee it would work. They stayed because they saw where this was going and wanted to be part of building it. When people show up because they believe in the vision, you never have to convince them to care - they already do. That changes everything about how a company operates. A small team of believers will outperform a large team of people collecting paychecks every single time. The energy, the urgency, and the sense of ownership are completely different, and you can feel it in the work. Small vision attracts small people. Big vision attracts the kind of builders who want to create something that actually changes an industry. If you're not excited about where your company could go, nobody else will be either.

When I was younger I assumed everyone wanted everything to be more efficient. That iteration and improvement was something all people could get behind. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized this is not the case and my mistake was a core error in my mental model of the world and its institutions. Improvement has to be fought for. Status quo is by far the most popular position.

Miamiposting might be a phenomenon whose time has passed, but having just spent a few days visiting, it really does feel like a boomtown in a way that no other American city that I've spent time in over the past few years does. In some ways, it reminds me of Chinese cities.
