Trevor McKendrick - It's harder to be kind than nice

Hi all,

Have an amazing week.

Trevor

Private Equity: A Memoir (book)

The former executive assistant of Chase Coleman, the founder and CEO of Tiger Global, wrote a memoir about her time in that role.

It’s not a “tell all” - if anything she goes out of her way multiple times to say that Chase treated her well, and is (roughly) as good as one can be for a billionaire.

I assume she felt bad for writing something about someone who goes far out of his way to protect his privacy?

It felt like a book written by someone with all the talent & opportunity in the world but who still doesn’t know what to do with their life.

Kind vs nice (article)

A kind person will help you discover reality. A nice person will tell you what you want to hear.

Kindness takes courage.

How to be a good podcast guest (article)

Lots of in-the-weeds, tactical, and specific advice from someone who’s done a lot of high profile podcasts (Joe Rogan, Sam Harris, etc.)

Devon Zuegal writes about California Forever, the new city proposal in the bay area (article)

“As a native Californian, I’ve never been more captivated by a vision for the future of my home state in my lifetime.”

I feel the same.
