Social Distancing, The Stock Market, and an Attempt at Humor
I think many are entering the 'f-it' phase of shelter in place
It is *unbearably* hot in the Bay Area this week. And people have had it. If my neighborhood is an indicator, people are basically done with shelter-in-place. We are seeing more ad-hoc gatherings, more day-drinking on the street and less adherence to the 'rules' that were put in place by the state of California just 60 days ago. I am hoping for the best, and that we can somehow avoid a second wave of COVID, but it's hard to know how exactly things will play out.
I've been staying busy by trying to figure out what's next, writing and podcasting. If you have advice, I really want to hear it. For the first time in my life I don't really have a *clear* vision of what I want to do next. I'm just kind of going with the flow and spending lots of time with my family.
On the writing front - here is my attempt at humor during shelter-in-place.
On the podcasting front, here is an interview we did with Austen Allred - the CEO of Lambda School.
I also interviewed Rohan Rangaraj, who worked for Cascade Investments (a firm that manages Bill Gates' personal wealth) about what the hell is going on with the stock market
I decided I need to create a bit more structure to my search process, so I'm joining On Deck as a fellow to explore markets, companies and ideas
How is everyone holding up ~65 days in? Could you handle another 300 days of this?
