The Story That Stuck With Me
When I first heard Masami Sato, founder of B1G1, speak about the meaning of leadership, it wasn’t a flashy success story or headline-making deal that struck me.
It was her insistence on letting go of judgment, choosing vulnerability, and honoring small acts. She reminded me that leadership isn’t always in the spotlight.
Sometimes it’s in the quiet choice to release an assumption, share something real, or take one small action that creates ripple effects over time.
Here’s what I learned:
When we amputate judgement, we create space for connection.
When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we discover strength.
And when we honor the small, multiplied acts in our leadership, we create long-term resilience and joy.
These aren’t just ideas, they’re practices you can start today.
How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential
Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.
Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.
Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
