It actually felt just like the universe stated “hey idiot, you shoulda done this whole ‘start a company thing’ sooner”. So many superior moments and so appreciative of all of the assist from creators, manufacturers, and company prospects.

Some particular moments and shoutouts:
Decibel Partners placed on yet one more excellent occasion, they’re masterful at these items. Jon Sakoda Dan Nguyen-Huu and Stacey Wueste completely crushed it. Their components of mixing attention-grabbing safety subjects with unbelievable founder pushed port-cos (Damien Lewke I’m taking a look at you!) and creators is a positive hearth winner. Hope they do that each single 12 months.

I did my first podcast with Aspiron Influence and Nina Korfias. Don’t bear in mind what I stated 🫣 Can’t wait to search out out!

Went to the safety creator dinner (thanks Miscreants and Sean Sun for all of the meat sweats <3). Melted with essentially the most artistic minds within the content material house, lastly obtained to hang around with THE Jason and Julia Haddix from the Arcanum Information Security crew. Chilled with Daniel Miessler and am grateful for spending many hours with Matt Johansen and his Austin safety crew. Also noticed Ashish Rajan 🤴🏾🧔🏾♂️and Shilpi Bhattacharjee for a pleasant second. Ashish and Shilpi are actually The Incredibles at these occasions. It’s legit spectacular.

I met Greg Brockman on the OpenAI/SpecterOps and requested him if I knew him from someplace 🤣 … (additionally assumed I will need to have met him at RSA… so embarassing). Thank you Clint Gibler for stepping in. I dwell underneath a rock (in my workplace).

Got to play blues within the Harmonic sales space(additionally thanks Ana Corio and Mariana Padilla for introducing us to sharks in a on line casino whereas I ate their fish buddies). Whoever got here up with the aquarium concept will get an A+.

Island gained finest night time vibes. Also there’s a saxophonist at their occasions who seems to even be a Crossfit champion (doing each acrobatics and saxophone solos on the similar time). Island events are actually a one-of-a-kind throwback to a bygone period of high-end, elite class. Later, I obtained to have fun Steakfest 2026 with Lexi Croisdale, in what absolutely is now to be an annual custom.

Went to the Four Seasons Veranda restaurant 6 instances in 2 days as a result of all your firms apparently guide each single restaurant within the Mandalay Bay always (in equity, I might do this if I had been you too). 😅.

Social engineered my manner into a non-public get together; later noticed Kevin Mandia play guitar like a rockstar on the Armadin get together (Is there a peptide I can take to be as cool as that man? He’s Clark Kent). Finished off the week assembly up with some wonderful prospects, new creators, and kicking it with the OG’s who run the content material world. Special shoutout to Ed (Low Level) for saving me from video poker.

Anyway, I’m lacking lots of issues. Overall a frivolously unhinged, tremendous invaluable journey and I’m already prepared for the following one (transfer it to October guys). Viva Las Vegas!
