Good luck at the conference!

We help you make more work friends and remember what you talked about with them.

A terrible football team.

I'm open to VC funding but am happy to bootstrap. The first reason is that with one startup I launched, we got accepted into Antler's accelerator program but did not get funding, nor did we get much out of it. It felt very impersonal, cold, and like they tossed us aside once they decided not to invest. It wasn't easy emotionally. With the product I'm launching here on Product Hunt, we...

I'm out of town this weekend for a wedding. I'm actually in a hotel right now doing some work before heading out to meet family and friends. 😁

This is a great newsletter topic! Communicating clearly and confidently is important. The words we use can determine other people's perceptions of us.

Organize my tasks, which includes checking my email because there might be some things in there I need to take action on.

I'm grateful for feedback from anyone. It is important, however, to assess the validity of the feedback given the context of the situation and project to determine if it's actionable.

This is a great question. I recently saw this quote: "Instead of forcing something that doesn't feel right, I think sometimes you gotta have the strength to let go. Because what lies ahead may be more beautiful than what lies behind." I don't know who said it, but it resonated with me. I am considering walking away from a project I've been working on for a couple of years. There are a number...

Congrats!

Congrats on the launch! Upvoted!
