[WEEK 18/52]: Tim Cook Steps Down as Apple's CEO!? And, Epic Trip to St. Pete!
In today’s edition, we’ll cover lots. We send our thanks to Tim Cook for being an iconic leader, and making lots of money for lots of people. As well as share photo's from the my trip last week. Enjoy
Hoping you all have had a wonderful weekend, and kicked your Monday off right.
I’m back from St. Pete, the fund is launched, we began investing last Wednesday, and life is good.
Babysitting mission is complete! The two little dudes enjoyed their adventure.
St. Pete was gorgeous, and my BNB deal was astounding. I’d say a 10/10 week.
Here I am after a long walk downtown working next to the ocean.
But first..
A word from our author in a Harry Potter style talking-painting
“Hey! Welcome to my blog, Don’s Daily!”
Hey, I’m Don! I’ve been building career memories for a decade. Over the last three years I’ve been reinvesting my own capital and time back it into my business. All the while learning and growing my net worth via public markets and crypto.

Over that same period, I also hosted 50+ virtual events with some of the world’s best VC investors and founders for our CEO group. Prior to all that, aside from my first job at Meta, I was lucky enough to raise $10 million in my twenties; doing my best to learn business, investor relations, and the startup mindset all at the same time. Maybe some of you can relate.
All that’s to say, I love business, I love money, I love to try and leverage my time.
This year, I set the goal to publish a thoughtful blog every Monday.. 52 of them! Don’ Daily is a recap of the entrepreneurship adventures I collect, as well as the new lessons I’m constantly learning from doing. My hope is that this entertains, inspires, and influences new creative ideas for you. Every Monday. If you enjoy the blog, please share!

Added a v1 Analytics System to my Claude Stock Tracking Research Tool
It now documents how long I study each stock, and tallies it on the back end. This way I can run analysis on my actual busy work, it’s not perfect yet, but great for a v1.
I’m spending hours and hours each day in my custom software at this point. And sooner than later i’ll build my own investment Dashboard hooked into my brokerage.

OMG, TIM COOK NO LONGER APPLE CEO?
Hey Siri, write a thank you note to, Tim! A truly iconic CEO and leader.
Siri: “Hi Jim, Thanks for being sea ezo, ant, leader!”
Ok, still some work on Siri AI.
But, I think overall this is a good direction for Apple, they need an engineer leading the AI pivot, and Tim will remain on Board as Chairman.
So it’ s a win/win/win for Apple, Tim, and Shareholders.
And the new CEO, of course!

Here’s Why I’m Deep Diving into Software Stocks
My journey into Software stocks continues. I put together investment memo’s for myself on ADP, Adobe, and DAVE while in St. Pete. Watching a few more to add.
Like I said last week, there’s some blood in the water, this shark is swimming.
If any software stocks have peaked your fancy, please respond back and tell me so I can do a deep dive analysis of their financials and team. (don@virtualrealityinvestment.com)
We Launched a Fund!
Yes, done!
Our paperwork is done, our capital is on-boarded to our brokerage, and we’ve begun deploying into intelligent investments, while studying 8+ hours a day.
