Member Brief: Gen Z and The NBA Problem

Time compounds resources and amplifies opportunity. With my oldest daughter seated behind me on a rented scooter, we jetted through the winding roads of Nantucket, Massachusetts. Our goal was simple enough: we wanted to find one of the island’s cliff edges. Away from the island’s center, the roads are made of packed gravel. The pathways require your concentration as you navigate them at more than 40 miles per hour. The edges are sandy, you veer too close to the edge and you wipe out. Depending on the direction that you choose, you’ll pass dozens of sea-adjacent homes that are visibly named after the families that still own them. And it was one sequence that later inspired a deep dive into the ideas of time (t) as it relates to compounding value (Vc) and business opportunity (Ob).
