Read First Round Capital's blog/subscribe to their newsletter. Excellent. It's all you need.

The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz is great.

Blitzscaling is interesting. I dont agree with all of it.

Read Techcrunch, Term Seet, Quartz/CBInsights, Businessweek, Wired, Data Sheet (newsletter from Fortune) and subscribe to thought leadership from all the Valley firms.

Osana (osano?) has a really good privacy newsletter too.

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

I was recently accepted to an Ivy League pre-med program, which has made me enormously excited. Despite this, I am now growing increasingly uncertain and afraid due to the weight of the decision. I would finish residency at 35 years of age, having passed on over $1m in earnings and in $300k of debt (although later earning $350-600k+). It scares me to think of having to provide for a family in such a situation.

How do you handle it when it takes several hours to complete something that should have taken far less because you went down research rabbit holes that were ultimately fruitless, rewrote the same thing a dozen times to get it "right", or generally let the wheels spin too long? It took me nearly 4 hours to write an email to a client's question yesterday that certainly didn't reflect the time spent drafting it. Do I bill the whole time? Self-edit time down? Bill it and note to Partner to cut?
