You love to see it... more of this, please.
For folks abandoning TikTok after its US takeover, consider using something like @skylight.social or @sprk.so or similar systems that give you a similar feeling but on an open protocol underneath so you'll never have to "move" again.
The ancient art of close reading is poised for a comeback. I'm excited about this one: www.fast.ai/posts/2026-0...

This is a beautifully written, powerful and *almost* optimistic piece about American democracy.
And btw, thank you @adambonica.bsky.social for taking parental leave, and discussing it publicly. That is one of the most feminist actions fathers can take!

Misha shares what it was like to lead through that moment, how crises clarify where leaders should focus their energy, and how Nova Credit found a way forward without abandoning its original purpose.

Misha Esipov is the co-founder and CEO of Nova Credit. In this episode of The Eric Ries Show, I talk with Misha about what it takes to build a company inside one of the hardest parts of finance to break into.

Seriously. He can take it.
Important finding that contradicts how most young people are counseled and coached

An absolute must read. The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, is one of the books that I read while I brought ANLMG into power. @ericries.bsky.social thank you for this masterpiece, it helped a lot.

What if technology didn’t feel so… hollow?
Some friends and I just released a manifesto about a world where tech leaves us feeling nourished (along with an evolving list of theses about how we can build it)

This is a plot point in Naomi Alderman’s book The Future

The Lean Startup by @ericries.bsky.social.
This book made it so clear why startups (when done correctly) can move so much faster, and I instantly knew this was the kind of environment I'd thrive in - and I still do to this day!

We discuss how trust and long-term relationships helped him rebuild quickly, what it takes to embed purpose in supply chains, and why he believes even B Corp standards do not go far enough.

20.11.2025 13:45 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0His career has been defined by a belief that business can be a force for human and environmental good. From a thermos of tea brewed in his kitchen to national distribution and acquisition by Coca-Cola, he has spent decades exploring how values can live inside systems built for profit.

Most companies scale by cutting corners. Seth Goldman built a brand by refusing to.
Seth is one of the founders of Honest Tea, a longtime chair at Beyond Meat, and the cofounder of Just Iced Tea.
Red Queen Bio is "is trying to make sure the AI industry's defenses are growing at least as rapidly as those who seek to exploit models to harm humans".
