"Where are we going? For whom and for what are we working? How are we making the world a better place?" If you can’t answer these questions proudly, it’s time to find a new job.
The world needs honest and courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good. We sometimes hear the saying: “Business is business!” In reality, it is not so. No one is absorbed by an organization to the point of becoming a mere cog or a simple function. Nor can there be true humanism without a critical sense, without the courage to ask questions: "Where are we going? For whom and for what are we working? How are we making the world a better place?"

I did not criticize the administration. My comments were pastoral, not political. I simply asked that detained Catholics have access to the sacraments—a request met with openness from federal officials.
New from me: Two bishops with ties to Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, including Bishop Robert Barron, criticized the administration’s treatment of Catholics detained by immigration officials this week. nytimes.com/2025/11/06/us/tr…

The remains of Itay Chen, a young American taken hostage by Hamas at just 19 years old, have finally returned home. We honor his life, mourn his loss, and stand with his family.
Charlotte W. Nazarian retweeted
The Chen family has been pleading for this for more than two years. Itay’s father Ruby has been a tireless advocate for his son’s return.
ברייקינג: חמאס החזיר לישראל את גופתו של החטוף החלל איתי חן. הוא היה האזרח האמריקני האחרון שהוחזק בעזה
I was given this necklace and dog tag by @EmailRubychen just two weeks after Itay was taken hostage. Despite leaving the hostage world, it stays close by.

There are really no words to describe the emotion and gravity of this moment. America breathes a sigh of relief as her last citizen, brutally held hostage by Hamas for two years, returns home. All my love to @EmailRubychen and @hagitchen who have become like family these past two years. Itay is home🎗️.
יום 760 איתי חזר הביתה Itay is back home @hagitchen @bringhomenow @POTUS @SEPeaceMissions @SebGorka @SecRubio

"this generation is lazy" is a tired phrase. give them a true mission and lazy is the last word to come to mind. roll up to @valaratomics at 6am and you will see "this generation" grinding it out to make the world's energy. this generation isn't lazy. it just needs a mission.

I want you to know that Valar Atomics will not rest until America will have the cheapest, cleanest, and safest energy in the world.

attn: @NWischoff is an incredibly cool person who did an incredibly cool piece on @DiscipulusVent and Demo Day last week. Check it out⬇️⬇️⬇️
Went to El Segundo for the first time to see what all of the deep tech noise was all about last week. Turns out it isn’t noise at all. Captured the Discipulus Ventures Demo Day and sharing here in case you missed it. Fantastic line up of companies and all raising now:
