Cycling In Italy For The Week...No AI Necessary

Good afternoon from Piedmont, Italy.

I am writing from this spot at the moment…

I will share some more details of the lovely later on villa our group is planted at for the next week.

We are here to cycle, eat and work in that order.

I am putting together my presentations and notes for our two big conferences coming up the week after next in New York.

The trip over was a nightmare. I got food poisoning from airport food in San Diego. I took an Ambien at hour two of the flight, just as the cramps kicked in and I realized that I was in trouble. The next 9 hours were hell.

It sucks to not be able to look at food when you are in Milan for a day!

Today we hit the roads about 90 minutes southwest of Milan in the Piedmont region.

This group of pals is relentless with the diarrhea jokes, which I would have no other way.

My friend Ali’s son Deke is on our trip and he just launched a prediction app (non money betting) for college aged kids called ‘Convictions’. It is a clever iteration of social and betting and I invested personally to help him get it off the ground. Of course our group has got 100 funny bets going on with this one being the first…

I actually bet on myself and even with inside information lost the bet! Although nobody was willing to ‘sniff’ to confirm.

This is my kind of degenerate economy product.

I am excited to be back on solid food as we sit down for dinner.

Have a great Sunday.
