[Music]
hey everybody good morning today is now
Thursday last night was a ton of fun at
my team in dinner as I mentioned we went
to TOA of town which is slightly
different than to downtown that is way
more of a club but it was still a very
fun place it was kind of that Asian
fusion so you saw some great appetizers
and then I got sushi for dinner which
was fantastic but yeah today is going to
be an interesting day my sister actually

lot of fun plans with her this weekend
but now I am heading off to the office
today is fortunately a much nicer day
than it was yesterday uh you can see
outside now nice and sunny um a little
bit cooler actually but the sun makes it
a little bit nicer than just the ugly
rain and gray that we experienced
yesterday so heading off to the office
looking forward to having a productive
day and I will see you later
[Music]
hey everyone it is now Friday afternoon
I'm working from home today as you can
tell and I just wrapped up a fantastic
podcast episode with Jack Buro from Tik
Tok if you're into finance and on Tik
Tok you probably have seen one of his
videos he used to work at JP Morgan then
he worked in VC at Tech Stars now he's
building his own startup so he has so
much value to offer and I'm really just
enjoyed our conversation I think we have
a lot in common both with respect to how
we approach the world and also just our
own background so really enjoyed that
conversation with Jack now I am going to
head to the gym at some point here soon
and start editing this podcast but to
catch you up on what you missed
yesterday my sister came to town so
after she got here I went up to Time
Square with her showed her the sites um
not that they're really that nice uh
honestly it's a little bit dirty and
kind of crazy over there but got that
touristy stuff out of the way now later
on tonight we are going to get a nice
dinner have some fun there somewhere
else cool here in New York
but yeah it's a beautiful weekend the
sun is shining although it is still cold
but I just feel so energized from that
conversation with Jack and I think all
of you are going to get so much value
out of it so looking forward to getting
that out to you but with that I need to
focus on what's in store for today so
let me go do
that I'm walking alone streets empty the
only I
my own silouette I'm getting stronger
step by step the clock is scking but all
right everybody voiceover mode now
because we did a lot on Saturday despite
the rain we went down to FYE and went to
Pearl's Diner which was honestly really
good and pretty affordable then we just
walked around FY saw some of the old
architecture here is Tiffany and Co and
then we walked over to the stock
exchange honestly although I quote
unquote work on Wall Street I really
don't come down to Wall Street too often
so really cool to just be here see some
of the history you know this is Old
School New York and afterwards we went
then into Trinity Church which was
pretty cool just because a lot of really
well-known people were buried here um
John Watts there and more importantly
Alexander Hamilton as a history geek
that was pretty cool just to see some of
the other people who were part of the
Revolution then after that we went to
the Oculus and went to the 911 memorial
so took that in and then for dinner we
went to a Mexican place over near Bryant
Park I got a nice big Margarita that I
truly enjoyed then we walked up to
Rockefeller we got Magnolia Bakery their
famous banana pudding and then we just
watched the people ice skate and at this
point we were extremely exhausted so
then walked home and called it a
night hey everybody it's now Sunday
morning it has been a busy weekend like
I said my sister and a friend are in
town so I've been playing a lot of good
Big Brother um this weekend taking them
around the town today fortunately is a
beautiful day after yesterday it was
just ugly so we are going to walk up to
Central Park grab some food and just
soak in this nice weather that we have
so that is what's on to for the day I'll
see you at Central
Parky to protect your
soul we are hero tonight we will fly
above the sky we are heroes
[Music]
toight yeah we are hero
hey everybody it is now Sunday evening
my sister and her friend just left and I
am now grinding away over here on all of
the content I fortunately was able to
get the podcast already fully edited and
it's uploading on YouTube now and I'm
also currently working on this Vlog so I
just realized I have some free time this
tonight so want to get as much done as
possible before starting another busy
week just those things inevitably come
up but fortunately the video that I had
go live earlier today is doing really
well it's currently 1 out of 10 um so
for those of you who know kind of how
YouTube analytics work that is very
exciting but yeah this is going to wrap
up the Vlog here really grateful to have
the time and flexibility to spend a lot
of time with my sister and of course
Maddie and all my friends in my my daily
life but just very grateful um it's
always good to kind of reflect on that
and it's easier to do that when people
come to town and come visit the city of
New York who don't live here I think
when you live here it's easy to kind of
get used to it the the everything about
the city becomes very normalized to us
and for me at least it's always really
kind of reinvigorated that passion and
that excitement to be in New York
anytime I have a friend or a family
member come visit me because it just
reminds me how great the city is and
that I truly am living my dream so I
hope you kind of got a taste of that
this weekend sorry this was a little bit
of an unorthodox Vlog didn't talk too
much about the business side of things
but hope you enjoyed it nonetheless and
I will see you in the next one
[Music]
peace
