I’ll never understand how people wake up every day, drive to a job they hate, save all this money just to retire after 50 years and maybe have a good 5 to 10 years to enjoy it before they die. Does that sound like Freedom to you? Sounds like slavery to me. The system is corrupt and the government has you fooled

The older I get, the more I realize, I don’t want a busy life. I want a deep life. Slow mornings. Focused work. Calm people. Meaningful progress. Good books. A quiet mind at night. Nothing flashy. Nothing trendy. Just a life that feels good to live. Depth over noise. That'll do.

It sure would be great if Christian influencers were influenced by Jesus.

Allbirds post-mortem (don’t need WSJ article): - Bad shoes. Look worse after only months - VCs have awful style - They dump $200M into low-TAM, bad product that’s not good fit for venture model - Forced to launch more bad products to justify all the $ they raised - Failure

It's been a few years, but Founder-led sales is back to being a priority and focus for many early-stage startups. This is a really, really, really good thing.

0-1 startup sales talent does not exist. Founders, this is you.

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

This place is packed for a .500 team hosting the worst team in the league. This program has no NCAA Tournament wins. A postseason berth of any kind hasn’t happened since 2018-19. When they say “there is no place like Nebraska”, this is what they mean. #Huskers

You don’t have to grind when running a startup. “40 hours a week” is sufficient is you are focused, have a solid vision, and ignore the noise. #startup #audittwitter

If you live in the North Platte or McCook area, stock up on your beef, chicken, and more before the holidays! Heritage Local is having their final markets of the year, so this week is the last opportunity to get fresh, locally produced food. buff.ly/3UxCaf4 #nebraska
