Day Casino Poker and Healthcare Tech Talk
I am still determining what I am worse at – poker or golf. Both require a great deal of patience and practice. However, there is also an element of socialness that accompanies these activities, which I like. For instance, I wanted to talk to my colleague Adam Hunke from Banner Health Group about healthcare trends and technology […]
Weekend in Vegas and The Week Ahead
This weekend I had an incredible time with 15+ year old friends that I have not seen in a very long time. We spent three days at the Wynn/Encore and it was filled with “remember when” stories and belly laughs. Most of my friends seemed to be very adamant in playing slot machines which made […]
Weekend Reads and Listens and Vegas Bound
It is springtime in Phoenix, and besides a couple of weird outliers rainy days, it has been wonderful. I have gotten soft over the winter time, and it is time to start cycling and running again. One of the significant benefits of long-term aerobic activity is podcasts. I forgot how amazing it is to consume […]
SVB Debacle and My Trip to Agua Prieta
This weekend I spent in Agua Prieta for the Rancho Feliz open house. No I did not flee the country because I had 100% portfolio company exposure to SVB. This is me and my man Reyes cheesin hard. It was a weekend where many people were on pins and needles. Tech’s marquee bank was put […]
Join my chat…I guess?
A private space for us to converse and connect Today I’m announcing a brand new addition to my Substack publication: the Ramblings from David Paul subscriber chat. This is a conversation space in the Substack app that I set up exclusively for my subscribers — kind of like a group chat or live hangout. I’ll […]
Getting Through Fear, Ending the Year Strong, and Great Investor Substacks
Alrighty! I am back in the blog writing saddle! I was just not moved to write at all last week. America’s lead probably influenced me not to work between Thanksgiving and Christmas. No excuses anymore! Let’s do this! I have been in heavy reflection mode recently over the last year. Of course, this is because […]
Holiday Weekend, Missed Predictions, and Caloric Surpluses
Hello everyone – I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I feel particularly puffy from calorie access, and I am sure my body is furious at me for my gluten intake as I feel achy all over. I recently discovered I have Hashimotos, which makes gluten a no-no. It sucks getting older. Onward. I […]
My Weekend in Agua Prieta and the Week Ahead!
I had a great weekend. I snuck aboard a scholarship trip to Rancho Feliz in Agua Prieta, Mexico. Rancho Feliz is a non-profit organization that provides a retreat-like experience for small groups to serve in an incredibly underserved border town on the Arizona/Mexico border. The experience includes: What this trip does for me is that […]
Phone Addictions and Bear Markets…
I have learned two valuable things this last week. One is that I am hopelessly addicted to electronic stimulation (my phone). So much so that I find it very hard to read an article. About halfway through the page, I will check my email, SMS, or Linkedin. In a world where investing has gotten much […]
Early Morning Intruder, Relative Content, and Venture Dallas
I do not have much to pontificate on my blog today except that my 4-year-old daughter has now intruded on my “Power Hour(s).” The power hour is from 4 am-6 am to meditate, read, work out, and journal. It is hard to get this self-care time, so it is executed during normal sleep. She foiled […]
