Welcome back to my series #TheSmartestPeopleIKnow, where I ask rapid-fire Q&As with some of the best minds in business. In this issue: @dmcp, CMO with @Invoca. linkedin.com/pulse/smartest-…
Dee Anna is a thoughtful leader with great ideas and someone I’ve always admired.
Really true... something all of us can do better with..
A few weeks ago, a company we invested in shut down.
The founder sent a very detailed email to the investor base explaining the situation.
I responded with three clear questions:
1. I am very sorry to hear this, are you ok? Losing a company is a very personal loss. I want to make sure that you yourself are okay.
2. Is there anything that I can do in the next steps with the investor base to help?
3. What are your thoughts on your next steps? Is there anything I can do to help facilitate those?
This is not the time to discuss lessons or negotiate for cents. This is the moment of peak pain. Be gentle.
The way you act in hard times is the way you will be treated in good times. People will always appreciate you for thinking long term and being there for them when it matters.

We redesigned Cybercab production for production over 5 times faster than conventional automotive manufacturing!
pretty amazing..
Today we're sharing our work on interaction models. A new class of model trained from scratch to handle real-time interaction natively, instead of gluing it onto a turn-based one.

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

This brings tears. Inspiration for your day.
First time I’m seeing this view of one of the most insane comebacks in sports history.
2022 Kentucky Derby. Going into the last turn, Rich Strike was in 18th place (out of 20). He had 80-1 odds, the 2nd lowest of any winner in history.
He wasn’t even supposed to race that day. Another horse was scratched last minute, and his owner got him registered 30 seconds before the deadline.
Proceeded to pull off one of the greatest moments in sports history.
