Thank you for the feedback Ledell. And congratulations to you on the latest $ 100 million fund raise. Really great to see the space growing.

Could it be Mr. Musk? :)

Wonderful insight. Most people use humour to reduce the pain of complexity of a situation , in this case, esoteric tech stuff. Thank you for this. Will try it out.

Management is a function of maturity. There are kids who have just graduated from B school and with just a year or two of work experience, who are great managers. We have to remember that they have been living on the planet for 20-24 years and their experiences in life , families , sports teams etc. Define their level of EQ and maturity. So it’s not just those years of work experience that lead to great young managers - it’s life experience as well.

Works everywhere all the time. It is common sense but people are so nervous and insecure especially in sales that they believe talking would somehow build credibility. To be more effective they have to listen with a clear intent on addressing what is going on in the speakers mind / life so they can provide an apt solution.

Tampering with the environment is going to affect the entire planet. Air and ocean currents get affected. This kind of tampering will be harmful to China as well. I hope they understand that they are part of the planet as well. What goes around comes around.

It’s an often quoted story , but having built a couple of companies, I believe a founder takes a decision based on the information available at that instant. It’s always a 50/50 deal, sometimes you get it right, sometimes you learn.

It is one of the biggest problems in modern biology. The news that Deepmind’s A.I has shown extremely high accuracy results on the protein folding problem will accelerate Bioinformatics and biology research. The implications for drug discovery are enormous.

RIP Tony Hsieh, his philosophy of delighting the customer will live on. It has influenced the culture at my company. Thank you for the wisdom.
