I am designing a “theme park for connection” for the dads in your life on Father’s Day next Sunday. This prototype will be in a magical house in SF. 🧙‍♂️🦋🤗🍻 DM me if you want an invite (and tell me who you’re bringing!). I believe that there is opportunity for deepened connection with the people that we love most of our lives. Sometimes we need an experience to help catalyze it. This is that space.

After our kid was born, my wife said: “Mother’s Day now matters more to me than my birthday.” I asked her how she wanted to feel: She said: - heard - seen in her motherhood - free to reflect on her new identity I designed a Mother's Day around those feelings My recipe🌲👇

Investor Cyan Banister (@cyantist) has backed SpaceX, Uber, Niantic, and Flock Safety. A majority of those investments did not emerge from a formal meeting. Uber traced back to a conviction that the taxi medallion system was a racket. Niantic grew out of watching friends charter helicopters for an obscure geolocation game. Flock Safety materialized from reading the public WiFi list at a Four Seasons cafe. Her method is not a framework. It is attention: a lifelong habit of noticing bottlenecks, tracking human obsessions, and poking at reality until it reveals something others missed. In this conversation, she covers: • Why the taxi medallion system was the real Uber insight •How she found a $7 billion company on a public wifi list • The Biz, Tizz, and Rizz framework for identifying legendary founders • Why the age of the polymath is arriving faster than most people expect • How brain-computer interfaces are surfacing thoughts from two weeks prior • Why she believes vibe manufacturing will mint the largest wave of new millionaires in a generation The signals she is reading now are worth understanding. @thegeneralistco Thank you to the partners who make this possible @dottechdomains: An identity for builders at their core: go.tech/thegeneralistnl @brexHQ: The intelligent finance platform: brex.com/mario @withpersona: Trusted identity verification for any use case: withpersona.com/generalist (00:00) Intro (03:51) Never playing the game you appear to be playing (07:18) Practicing childlike wonder as a daily discipline (10:08) Questioning belief after her stroke (13:30) Cyan’s metaphysical experiments (23:24) Non-local consciousness and creativity (27:22) Investing with extreme openness to signals (29:05) The importance of timing in investing (32:26) Meeting Travis Kalanick (34:19) Finding Flock Safety through a chance encounter (38:23) The summer of Pokémon Go (what worked and what didn’t) (39:55) Human nature and what makes something "stick" (42:15) Brain-computer interfaces and AI’s accelerating effect (52:53) “Biz, Tiz, Riz:” her framework for evaluating founders (59:20) Why Cyan lives in a retirement community part-time (1:03:50) A unique way of finding books that speak to you (1:08:44) Final meditations

@polbesana_ @QuiverAI It’s sad that designers can’t just use a pen tool still. Been like two decades. So easy.

Authentic people are always slightly threatening to those living in bad faith. They make the machine visible.

@Aurelien_Gz @madebydaybreak The time to finally build the experiences designers used to dream of and developed used to shut down because of story points
