Diff.

A controversial view but equally shouldn't be an excuse to act unkind.

Might be frustrating but it's true. I saw this first hand during my time on Wall Street and this has continued to be the case through a decade of venture.

Whether it's founders, LPs, customers, our families, or our community- it could be all of them! This is something I harp on to my kids because it's been such a difference maker for me.

For many years, I've asked every successful person I encounter, "How much did luck play into your success?" I've found that the folks who can quickly build trust and rapport with me don't shy away from attributing luck to portion of their success.

And there is big $$ in playing into this through what we generously describe as "convenience."
