1/ Y’all...it’s really simple..support the people and the brands YOU believe in..

It might seem like a small action, but it’s not. It’s what can enable you to actually have an impact in the ecosystems that are connected to what you value.

2/ If you’re working on breaking into investing ( #VC #PE etc) you can get practice by exercising your ability to spot good products, teams, and services as a consumer.

Think of your bank account as your fund. How are you going to deploy the money from your fund into the market?

3/The products you chose to purchase/brands you support essentially reflect your personal investment thesis.

Every-time you make your purchase, it is like you’re signing a term sheet over and over again.

Your investment committee is yourself ...https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> but still you get it.

4/ A lot of times we miss out on how our everyday actions can be the entry point for the things we say we want to be able to do.

I guarantee you, if you adjust your perspective, you’ll see there is something in your life ALREADY that you can leverage for practicing your skills.

5/ This is for everyone not just folks who want to be #investors.

Also, I’m not trying to imply any of this is easy per se. The journey is definitely not a walk in a park in terms of spotting these things. I’m just sharing what I’m starting to discover as I reflect and improve.

6/ Also, this thread was inspired by @thebloomingu a brand, a story, a team I believe in and will continue to put my money behind.

So, yeah I encourage y’all to find the people, products, and brands that resonate with YOU.
