He frequently celebrates milestones for companies like Tive, which brings tracking technology to the global supply chain, and Fi, a smart GPS collar for dogs, showing he supports founders who build practical tools for both industry and daily life.
• Appreciation for golf and sportsmanship as a reflection of character. Beyond just following the sport, he admires displays of class and elegance, such as when he praised a Masters caddie for bowing to the course or highlighted a runner helping a rival cross the finish line, suggesting he values founders who demonstrate grace and honor.
• Strong emphasis on personal loyalty and family support. He uses his platform to champion the personal projects of his loved ones, most notably sending multiple tweets encouraging people to buy a mystery novel written by his ninety-one-year-old mother.
