Sophia, are you suggesting there is a risk of a startup executive surnamed “Best” is at risk of acquiring a superiority complex????

Im only halfway thru and I really enjoy that 1) Sophia wont let you off the hook with her questions and 2) she’s constantly thinking from the mind of writers. This kind of dialogue that we never would have seen before, being so transparent and COOL to watch—and it gives me a lot of confidence in the platform!

What a lovely guest. I am very sad though that we won’t see you on live for a while Chris. I enjoyed these very much!

@sophia…you are so spot on with the differences of IG live versus Substack. I have yet to miss one of Chris’ lives

Take a vacation, Chris. You’ve earned it.

Maybe you can find the perfect humility/confidence ratio and blow Sophia away when you come back.

You should also take a vacation. My identity has already melted and reformed several times without the rigid structure of a calendar and meeting schedule. My kids haven’t needed to see one deck.

That’s just it. You point (but don’t discuss how many hours go into a point) and then sprint. Damnedest thing. Still trying to figure out where all the code ends up.

One thing I like about live filming is that although I and many others can't always watch it live, when I rewatch it later it seems more authentic. Everything doesn't seem super rehearsed and planned out so I feel like I'm more likely to get the truth and see people go on weird tangents.

Love that our younger ones are finding the old school ‘prestigious’ are irrelevant ☀️
