Entrepreneurs need to roam wild more.

"We are not thinking machines that feel, we are feeling machines that think."

I relaunched Founders' Club at scale in my head.

I didn't see my own founder loneliness until I helped friends through theirs.

As a founder, are you lonely?

I made a mistake with Founders' Club recently.

I keep hearing we need more ways to connect.

Attention is the rarest thing you can offer me today.

Having brewed kombucha for years, I've seen firsthand how the craft brewing industry follows a predictable pattern: build, scale, get acquired by a giant brewery, watch loyal customers hope "they don't change" (they always do).

Reusable Floss Holder The Problem: Disposable floss picks have taken over as the go-to solution for easy flossing, but they come at a significant environmental cost.

I read this book back in 2010 when it was published so...I don't have notes.

This book is currently changing my life....like for real.

This is the content for my first post.

This one is fresh and very close to home for me.
