As I walked on stage on Demo Day, it hit me: the process of getting there was equally as important as the goal — again. Given Techstars’ emphasis on Demo Day as the culmination of our learning and progress throughout the program, I was nervous.

Your Co-workers Are Your Colleagues, Not Your Friends
Your co-workers are your colleagues, not. your friends. They are not at the office because they are looking for friends. They are there because, like you, they are looking for money. If you confide things to them, they are likely to betray you if it means they benefit…

Over the years I’ve noticed a few things that have helped me over the many trials and tribulations of startup life. I’m going to share a few things that have helped me for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek.
I began to write a story. And, then another. And, not too long later my stories became my first book, Twenties Talk (plug alert: great beach read). Writing a book was never something I set out to do. It was a lot of work. It was fun. I became an author…

Until you succeed and nothing can stop you anymore.
My full Q&A from my interview with BusinessBecause on Online MBA’s and Entrepreneurship.
I’ve seen this suggested on social media as well and I honestly don’t get it. What good are “followers” if no one reads anything? Engagement is where it’s at and that doesn’t happen unless people feel something when they read what you’ve written.

Completely agree with the notion of changing behavior in a tempered way, carried by superior customer experience, rather than radical, novel requirements of users. Outside of serendipity, it’s near impossible to plot oneself in the transformational business, so anchoring in some familiar precedent rather than complete newness is the only way to step out (pragmatically and affordably) into the future.
