A reminder this weekend: Doing nothing, unfortunately, is doing something. Make sure the something is a continued vote for who you want to be.
Had a 45 minute jam session with @jeremyutley today. It’s fun to talk shop with people smarter than you.
It took me too long to learn this.
Love hanging out with people smarter than me.
I don’t care how productive you are. If you are working on the wrong thing it doesn’t matter.
Every company I have been involved in prior to this has been bootstrapped. As a first-time fundraiser, I learned so many valuable lessons:
Do I have any connections who have dealt with having a PayPal account shut down without warning? DM me if you do.

I'm ok with this.
This is the beginning, year 1 of an infinite sprint. Small audience, tweets don't hit, haven't gone viral, just starting on @heycreatorhey & my own content. It's going to take 10 years to post enough to become who I want to be as a creator. And I'm finally okay with it.
Starting a super simple newsletter. Recently inspired by some of @thesamparr's more personal blog posts and I think blogging / sharing updates with friends should come back. Every Friday, 1 minute read, a few topics I've come across that week. Super super simple. Going to try…
There's only one way to fail as a creator (with @nateliason):
