Well said.
Everything takes longer than you think.
No matter how fast or hard you work, it doesn't happen overnight. It may happen in 7 years (which is incredibly fast by many people's standards), but it's not going to happen overnight.
Every "overnight sensation" you know of today likely put in years of effort behind the scenes that nobody talks about. The game is long and most of you are babies. Remember, the bigger the ambition, the slower you need to go! Patience is the real key component to success.

Wake me up when they make one with a cupholder and a seat on top of it.
The future is now:
Introducing Cues: Voice & Gesture control for Matic
We raised $115M and spent 9 years to make the world’s first intuitive home robot
Say you spilled coffee: Point to the spill and say, "Hey Matic, clean this" and it will hear, see, locate in 3D, and go clean on its own.
Matic comes with a lot of features:
1. Say "Hey Matic" - it locates your voice, turns, and looks at you
2. Say "Hey Matic, follow me" and start walking. Matic will follow behind
3. Say "Hey Matic, go clean the living room". Since it knows your house map, it navigates and just does it
It's so easy, a 5 year old and an 80 year old can use it and it understands 75 different languages.
Matic has 8x the airflow, specialised cleaning algorithms for rugs, corners, toekicks, mopping, etc and cleans better than any other robot vacuum.
Also keeps improving with software updates.
13,000 families use and love Matic.
WIRED magazine gave it a 10/10 (the only hardware to receive this rating in a decade)
Buy yours at maticrobots.com and if you don't love it after 6 months, we'll give you a full refund.
To celebrate our launch, we're cleaning 300 homes with Matic in San Francisco and New York City.
Comment "Matic" below, we'll send you the link to sign up and come to your doorstep to clean your home with Matic.

consumer VCs used to say that we'd never again see another tiktok-like mass spending spree ($1bn/year in acq spend in 2019) that would disrupt the incumbents' network effects, but i actually think memecoins change that. apps can acquire users at scale through memecoins

People are spending more time watching screens than ever before, yet the media industry is being decimated in plain sight. Just this past week the following happened:
S&P downgraded Paramount Global‘s debt rating to junk status citing “the ongoing deterioration of the linear television ecosystem."
AMC Entertainment, the largest movie theater chain in the world, said it might sell up to $250 million worth of stock “to bolster liquidity” after a dismal first-quarter box office result.
Disney is fending off an activist investor who is trying to "restore the magic."
The media industry is ripe for new models and monetization strategies--new forms of entertainment on a global scale. Web3 may not seem like an obvious answer, but one thing is certain: there are no obvious answers for the media industry. Maybe it's time for the slow-moving giants to start paying attention...

I love this game. Best graphics and animals
Woah, what a find! I wandered a bit further and came across these fantastic Balinese-style Temples, what beautiful architecture!
They were easy to spot amongst the trees thanks to their height and unique roofing. I wonder what else we'll find?

Video games > movies
Most people don't realize the scale of video games:
Hogwarts Legacy just grossed $850M in its first two weeks. Biggest launch ever for Warner Bros Games.
By comparison, Warner Bros's biggest *movie* ever, the last Harry Potter movie, brought in $295M in its first two weeks.
