As for me, I will have my book ready and 1-2 things done for Star Labs and Skye this year. One thing at a time -- done beautifully, executed well. Thanks for all the interest we have & the applications! We look forward to building things out over time. ✨

Charlie Munger’s inversion principle is so helpful. 💡 wish I had used that sooner. Can be scary at first, but then truly remarkable. His writings & him - such a gift 💝

Tim Cook took Apple up a level, to the crown jewel it is. He brought much-needed process and systems to the beautiful company that Steve Jobs built. He made it a company known all over the world and where you see Apple computers and devices everywhere now :) Thank you Tim. ❤️

Japan leads the way! Over 33,000 companies have crossed the 100-year mark. Shinise (老舗). Here at home, GE adopted the Kaizen approach under Larry Culp. Brilliance 💡✨ Much to learn & apply. 😇🪽

Sky full of stars. Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.

Star Labs is our modern Renaissance bottega & lab where we go from idea 💡 sketches ✍️ > actual prototypes and problem-solving.
Star Labs at Elf: ⭐️ 💫 Formed in 2019, Star Labs is our R&D unit. It is a place for us to experiment, invent, and create. We began Star Labs as our incubator for Skye, a new aviation company. However, today Star Labs is now growing... :)

We have an incredible team at Elf and now at Skye. These are the projects that I started a company to do - using our abilities in the best way and to contribute to society and invent excellent solutions that improve quality of life and explore what we can be and do as humans.
