jer979Purpose Struggle
Yesterday, I decided that my blogging career should come to an end. I was doing myself a disservice. I told myself that the goal of the posts was to dig deeper, peel back the layers, get down to the core. But by publishing online (or on-chain as the case may be), I was subconsciously writing for others, even if I told myself that I didn't care if others read. So, in an effort to be more authentic, I figured I'd stop publishing and start doing a private journal. Within 2 hours of that decision...

I feel happy. It's fun, it's light, like a feather floating at the beginning of Forrest Gump. But, like the feather, it's not grounded. It can flitter and float away. Value is also ephemeral. We know it when we see it. We feel it, somewhere deep inside. Something connects to us, saying "yes, this is worth it." The "it" that it's worth is energy. Energy in the form of time, attention, money. The things of which our possession is limited. There's a reason why all the great traditions point to "...
jer979Coffee with AI
Every day for the past month, I’ve had a coffee date with AI. I literally sit down, with a cup of coffee, with an appointment on my calendar that says “coffee with AI”. During that time, AI (I’ve used ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Venice) and I literally have a chat, the way I would with a friend. It’s not “write this letter for me” or “do this or that.” No, it’s a chance for us to have a conversation about whatever topic I want. Many days, recently, at least, it’s been about quant...

I just returned from a week and a half in Europe, where I spent a lot of time with my teammates and colleagues.
It was both empowering and humbling.
Humbling because the in-person discussions give you the opportunity to hear the candid feedback, all delivered very kindly, about where I could be doing better.
Empowering because I learned so much, in such a short time, about the need for clarity, the importance of setting a vision, how strategy is the result of the alignment between vision and capabilities, and where OKRs as the best vehicle for ensuring strategy execution fit in.
We’re on to something special at Radix.
Now that FTX, along with the others, have exploded, we’re clearing out the debris.
One day, DeFi will be obvious in hindsight. Today’s not that day for most people, which is fine.
But, thanks to the team that is forming around me, I believe that I’ll be able to do all I can to help bring that day about.
It’s Game Time for DeFi.
