The video breaks down how individual investors got shut out of buying into one of the fastest-growing private companies ever, while explaining the sketchy SPV structures that were being used to trade employee shares before Anthropic killed the deals.

The Diary Of A CEO
Pulitzer Prize Historian: You Won't Notice Until It’s Too Late - Anne Applebaum
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Anne Applebaum warns that modern democracies don't collapse with coups but when legitimately elected leaders systematically dismantle neutral institutions like independent courts, media, and bureaucracies to ensure they stay in power forever. She argues Trump exemplifies this threat, pointing to his massive wealth increase while in office and his admiration for autocratic leaders, as America faces the early stages of democratic deterioration that's already underway.

Most people fail because they prefer avoiding problems altogether, but breaking through requires making your aspirational vision non-negotiable over your personal preferences for ease and comfort.

#1 Trait of the Highest Achievers
High achievers view responsibility as positive and exciting, eagerly embracing challenges as opportunities to prove themselves and show others what's possible. Underperformers see the same responsibilities as negative burdens because they lack personal empowerment and are more focused on themselves than on growth.
