Comment: Yesterdays dinner + notes

Transcript: For dinner I had my leftover salmon, the rice and kale salad, plus just like a handful of croutons because I guess I wanted croutons. Yeah, that was really nice. I just got off the phone with Ellie and holy crap, we just zoomed through fucking hyperspace. I just, I just downloaded to him like everything I've been working on. Actually, there's like probably stuff I forgot to cover. Actually, I know there was stuff I forgot to cover and that is, that's wild, man. That was wild. It was like a full, it was like a full send like through the universe and and Yeah, I'm very curious to know what he's gonna say in the future and I mean it was an absolute pleasure talking with him and learning about spreadsheets and you know his wizardry and yeah, I don't know, it's really interesting and of course like he has an immense set of data too, which is really cool. And yeah, it would be really interesting to see like how to work with that and you know his question about TabGarden and all of this is like, yep. Yeah, really, really great call. It's just like so much that we went through and yeah, I Yeah, really stoked. I don't know what to do and I had a bit of messaging with Jamie and I guess we'll see. I just sent him some crazy shit. So Yeah, I yeah, I don't know. I probably need to have another call with him to like show him what I've built because it's like a lot and I probably need help compressing it a bit. But yeah, I guess like I guess tomorrow probably figuring out what the deck looks like to some degree is kind of gonna be the thing like what is the meat and potatoes of the deck? Again like I Again like without showing Basically like showing value very obviously that's like kind of my goal more or less is to show like hundred plus million dollars in value without saying it explicitly. That's that's like my goal and If I can do that, then I think I think it'll be a like a good a fairly decent success I'm sure it won't be perfect and I'm sure there'll be problems and a bunch of people saying no, but Yeah, I think that there's I can try that and try a few frames and read it myself and you know try to disassociate myself emotionally from it and Be like yes, this tells a clear story. This story is You know effectively Yeah, we're we're gonna be integrated into everyone's daily life And this is the story of tab and all of this and I'm taking a markedly different approach and And that's that's kind of the point and I think this approach, you know has a much greater possibility of success Partially because all of these other approaches forgot social and that there needs to be a protocol at the end of the day if you ask me, it's clear like we have these decentralized protocols and yeah, I was a builder in web 3 so I Give a shit about that, you know, and I was not just like a Random builder. I like made some shit. So Yeah
