The CEO of Horizon just used the word “daction” in a 4As panel. Data plus data driven action. He said it with such conviction. He’s so positive and seemingly sincere. I don’t know if I could do that.

As a hiring manager (for interns), would you find it weird if your incoming intern asked specific questions about dress code? He just sent a bunch of info regarding the first day and I’m thinking of replying asking about if a tie is a must or not.

Would you say summaries are as effective for self help books like "the subtle art of giving a fk" and other similar books? I feel the books themselves ramble on too much on a side story only to tell a point that could be summed up in a couple sentences.
Or am I just not getting good book recommendations for growth/development on mental well being and productivity

Had a therapist who encouraged me to quit my job to be happy. Also encouraged me to not settle with my girlfriend because I’ll regret it (like how he regrets getting married).

Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?

His holdings are $10m+ and mostly in real estate but he wants to get more involved in tech investing. I have a background in both and it won’t violate my obligations. What terms should I offer him? I was thinking: 1% AUM and 10% profits. Please offer any advice.
