“The last sustainable edge in markets is arbitraging human nature.” I had the good fortune to spend an hour and a half with an iconic Wall Street investor last week. I was invited to be a guest on Jim O’Shaughessy’s podcast Infinite Loops. I felt like the luckiest woman in the world. I’m blessed to […]

Day 980 and I Am Beff Jezos
Humans are horny for hierarchy. We are eager to give our power away as a species. Please will someone else just be responsible for making our decisions for us? Can someone point me to the person in charge? “Take me to your leader!” If someone seems smarter, richer, more capable, more aggressive, heck even if […]
If you are working in artificial intelligence or medicine I’d like to pleased my case to you. Id just like to pass along a note. The current “responsible” safety stance is that we should not have AI agents dispense healthcare advice as if they had the knowledge of a doctor. I think this is safetyism […]

Day 970 and Be Your Publicist
My day job is as an early stage venture investor. Like most people who do angel investing and pre-seed startup investing, I learned my trade on the job as an operator. I founded and sold some startups. I helped my friends with their startups. We invested in each other. Because startups are primarily about teamwork […]

Day 947 and Dreams
I slept quite a bit last night. I slept more this afternoon. I can’t say why I needed so much rest. But what I can say is that I dreamed a lot. Odd, florid, turbulent dreams too demanding to be ignored. It’s unclear to me what my unconscious was tidying up. Was it the detritus […]

Day 935 and Rebranding
Changing someone’s opinion is hard. Twitter is being rebranded to X so the topic is newsworthy. I was on rebranding efforts at Pepsi (the infamous one) Tropicana (that didn’t go well) and Ann Taylor (which won us a lot of awards & made money) so I have lived through the challengers of remaking a corporate […]

Day 910 and The Chessboard
You can feel it. I know you can. The chessboard is being reset. Pieces are being moved. Gambits are unfolding. Absolutely everyone you know is going a little bit nuts. I would not be surprised if these small informational disruptions will be recognized as part of a global conflict in a hundred years. I hope […]

Day 900 and Let It Go
It’s nice to have another milestone day on my journey to write every single day. One hundred more days of writing till the big milestone that seemed unreachable when I began. I have so much constancy to be proud of as I look at the body of work I created. I gave myself permission to […]
