Happy New Year

It’s mind over matter, if you don’t mind, it don’t matter.

-Robert Raven Kraft, 51 years of running every single day

Miami Boyfriends | Chris

There are not very many men in my life that I put on a pedestal. Chris, my former (land)lord is one of them. He’s humble to the point of correcting me when I call him my landlord, so I just call him my lord. It feels more appropriate.

When you go out to dinner with him, he follows rules that people learn in cotillion. He buys art like a fancy art collector who attends Art Basel to buy does and asks me to come over to help him hang, which makes me feel fancy. I documented his first trip to Trader Joe’s—he’s more of a Whole Foods guy—and worked with my dear friend who used to come down to Miami and live in my guest room every January and is, more importantly, an on air host and reporter for ESPN edit the video of Chris perusing Trader Joes and mocking at my TD favs (love you regardless of your taste in my favs, Christopher) I would post the video if I knew Chris would love it, but I won’t because I know it would embarrass him.

This photo, he didn’t love because of the house socks and shoes with his khaki shorts. He’s more of a tailored top, pleated pants, custom shoes type of man, so take my words and the adorable back garden gnomes as proof. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet…my lord, Christ. I mean…Chris. :)

Robert Raven Kraft

Known for his remarkable running streak, Robert “Raven” Kraft has run eight, then later five, miles on Miami Beach every day since January 1, 1975. People from all over the world join his daily run, after which he gives them a unique nickname. In his honor, a portion of 3rd Street in Miami Beach was renamed “Robert ‘Raven’ Kraft Way”.

Loved seeing Raven on NBC’s Today Show this morning. 🏃🏻‍♂️💨

Blood Brothers | ESPN

Cameron and Cayden Boozer, twin sons of Duke legend Carlos Boozer, are two of the most highly touted high school basketball recruits in the country. But their most crucial assist came long before either set foot on a basketball court. A new episode of ESPN E60 updates the story of how the twins helped save the life of their older brother Carmani through an incredible chain of events more than 15 years ago.

Sam Bankman-Fried | AFR

Sam Bankman-Fried is worth $US16.5 billion, yet he drives a Toyota Corolla. He's spent $US1 billion bailing out cryptocurrency businesses, yet he thinks crypto has yet to prove it's had a positive impact, saying the industry is still 'pre-use case.' He's an advocate of Effective Altruism, and is vegan, yet he lives in the Bahamas, a tax haven. And he's on the cover of the Young Rich issue of The Australian Financial Review Magazine. ⁠
⁠
"A lot of this is being at the right place at the right time," he tells Mark Di Stefano, with whom he chatted about the 'crypto winter', about being tagged the 'Millennial Warren Buffett' and about Elon Musk, with whom he discussed acquiring Twitter. ("He moved markets, he moved everything.") ⁠
⁠
What does the future of entrepreneurialism look like? Pick up a copy of our Young Rich List issue to find out. Inside you'll find crypto, gaming, start-up founders trying to meet payroll, music, athleisure, unicorn balloons and Elvis. ⁠
