I've been a Knicks fan since I was zero years old, the days of Ewing and Marbury and LJ.
But what struck me about the run was, you know, when OG tips it in, there is no debate about like what happens.
And I came back to like the foundation of as a knowledge worker, a white collar or whatever, we're just drooling in Google Docs and strategic documents and building products that no one might ever see ever.
And there's something so clear about when the athlete gets the ball in the basket.
So it's a foundational point about sports, but it just really resonated for me on this run.
Like in my early career, I was in banking, I was in corporate America, and there's so much that we do day to day where it's like you're in a spreadsheet and you mark this medium risk and you write this memo and a company I worked for got sold.
And I was like looking back and I was like, man, like years and years and years of my hard work is probably just like vaporized in Microsoft Office somewhere.
It's like, we should be creating, we should be doing awesome, being entrepreneurs, creating art, doing awesome things.
I mean- You know, I write books for founders, tons of content for VCs and artists and therapists and founders around the world.
But when my work goes well, it changes the way that someone thinks about themselves and tells their story and is out there in the public.
But it's hard to say the ball went in the basket or we're holding a trophy, obviously.
