Learnings from 2024

In the first days of 2025, there are a couple of highlights and an insight I’d like to reflect on from last year:

‍

1️⃣ An achievement: launched Crash Course. 

‍

In 2024, I launched my first book. An emotional toolkit for founders.

‍

A companionship book I wish I’d had during my entrepreneurial journey.

‍

2️⃣ A celebration: my first unicorn.

‍

The journey of Exodus, becoming my first portfolio unicorn, taught me the power of patience and resilience. Almost 8 years after I invested in Exodus, the company listed on the NYSE. During this time dozens of my investments have gone to near zero.

‍

3️⃣ An Insight: I will never have time to do all the things that do want to do. 

‍

This hit home reading the book by Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks.

‍

Time is a finite and precious resource.

I’ve been reminded and very hard-pressed to learn to say “no” to things I DO WANT TO DO.

‍

Where I used to decide between things I wanted to do and not do, with options, it gets more tricky, and now I need to decide between things I want to do.

‍

I will never be able to see all the movies, listen to all the podcasts, meet all the people, learn all the skills, or visit all the places I’d like.

‍

What are your biggest highlights and insights from this year?

Let’s inspire each other more in 2025!
