Somebody fill my desk drawer at the office with snacks.

@taylorotwell how many pictures in that pdf

✈️ I'm flying to Chicago next week for @LaraconUS *and* so we can launch @TransistorFM.

@jonbuda and I would like to have a meetup for our podcast listeners. Any ideas for a good spot? I'm guessing we'd have 10 (maybe 20?)

@smithtimmytim ❤️

@drewwilson @MoreWillie I'm in. I love 🍕 and 🍦 at midnight.

One of the most honest interviews I've done this year:

"I used to run away from discomfort. That was easier (in the short term). And then it exploded."

(great production by @smithtimmytim + @changelog)

@drewwilson Free ice cream?

@dceddia boost those ratings! 😂

@joanyanw Hmmm. I'm recording them in @ScreenFlow at full resolution. Then I upload!

RT @smithtimmytim: 🎙 New episode of @afk_show!

This week, @mijustin talks about his parents, dealing with depression, and a new business…

So excited to finally announce this! 🎉

@Swizec Too many 😅.

On RCP:
@tiny_wins and http://productvalidationchecklist.com

This is why @kylefox and I are friends.

@YoFolyo @adamwathan I'll take your money. ;)

@NateSmoyer My guess is higher than restaurant margins:

Starting your day with Inbox Zero is 💯.

RT @danielkempe: @levelsio Coffee is worth the $350k

@adamwathan @tillkruss @ianlandsman Are you taking selfies or photos of your ceiling?

@EGMontesano Customer throughput (measured in "turns" per table) is much higher in coffee shops.

Typical coffee shop will serve way more customers in a day than restaurant.

@iChris Both @tiny_wins and http://productvalidationchecklist.com run on RCP.

Coffee shop vs Restaurant economics:

☕
- I spend at least $5 / day x 5 days a week ($100-$150 / month)
- I almost always go to the same place
- I go every day

🍔
- I spend ~$15 for lunch.
- Unlikely that I'll go to the same place more than twice a month ($30 / month)

@adamwathan @LaraconUS 😳 @stickermule should sponsor every conference:

"Remember to order your stickers!"

@DurandRemi Yup!

@ajlkn 😄 true

If you're leading a company, you have two main responsibilities:

1. Thinking
2. Making decisions

Three questions:

📊 Which is better: B2C or B2B?
💸 When should you walk away from a sale?
😕 How do you make difficult decisions?

In this episode we discuss startup advice from @justinkan, @sehurlburt, and @naval:

@kevinblank yup! Got my ticket!

@oliviahayes I'd say there are risks!

@mcrKirei Hadn't heard of the HP!

What do you like about it?

I've been thinking about this a lot for @transistorfm and http://Spots.fm:

@mattragland Nice! Congrats!

Sobering editorial on tech hubris:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/14/opinion/sunday/elon-musk-thailand-hubris.html

@freekmurze @driesvints "Forgot standing desks! Hire a human to hold your workstation."

@buffalo_road No more eating that paleo tofu!

Plans, routine, and constraints are all essential.

Creativity thrives with structure.

This shit's still dope!

@mgentry81 Cool! I'll take a look.

@iChris On Digital Ocean, yup

I really like using @discourse for the @prodpeopleclub forums, but I'm not a fan of the profile pages.

Would love something similar to what @raunometsa is building for MakeHub.

@siddharthkp Yeah! @theleviallen is my bud.

@paulredmond @m1guelpf Nice 👌

@mariordev @garyvee It is possible that it's working for him and his family.

The bigger question for us is:

"What do we want *our* lives to look like?"

Followed by:

"What are we willing to do (and sacrifice) to get there?"

@mariepoulin #canadiancrimeproblems

@Booster_Stage Yes!

@joeworkman I agree on that front.

What I'm talking about is: "do you want to play *this* game with *those* players?"

You chose which arena you wanted to compete in.

Also worth considering: "who will you have to compete against?"

- Want to be @garyvee? Then he's your competition because he wants to win.
- Want a shot at the NBA? @KingJames isn't going to just give you his spot.
- Want to make products like Steve? You're going up against .

RT @joshfrank: @mijustin @garyvee It's easy to be envious of something, but to truly achieve things you have to 1. want something (easy) 2.…

Many of us have the privilege of getting to choose *which game we want to play.*

But before you commit, make sure you know what it's going to take to get what you want.

(There's nothing worse than playing a game you don't like, for an outcome you don't want.)

Here's the video for context:
https://youtu.be/gHEhybjRsZY

"Only 10% of my day is what you see on social media. The other 90% I'm being the CEO of VaynerX."

@KelseyLK I believe it works for him!

The question for the rest of us:

"What do we want our lives to look like?"

And them:

"Are we willing to do (and sacrifice) what it takes to get there?"

@garyvee 🤔 In the same way, each of us need to define:

"What do I want?"

and then:

"Am I willing to do what it takes to get there?"

@paquette_io I'm not being negative at all!

Just saying: this is what it takes to be a CEO at his level.

It's the real picture.

I actually *dig* it: @garyvee has the life he wants.

@FriscoSmoove @garyvee Exactly. 👌

Lots of folks want to be @garyvee.

Here's his typical day as CEO:

6am - Work out
7am – Time with kids
8am – Meetings outside the office
9am - 6pm – Meetings at the office
7pm - 11pm – Meetings outside the office

☝️ if you don't want that, you don't want his life.

@m1guelpf @dmfj lol. beauty! 🤘

Just published a new one!

@tnorthcutt I was born in 1980 but I'm only 25.

👀 The NBA and the NFL smartly applied for .NBA and .NFL domain extensions in 2012.

It doesn't appear that the NHL did though. 🤦‍♂️

@JayGreasley isn't it great? such a nice way to start the day.

I used to be paranoid about finishing all my tasks each day. I thought stopping would kill my momentum.

Now I'll happily leave a task that's 50% done until the following day.

It doesn't kill your momentum at all! It gives you something specific to work on the next morning. 👍

@applicationista yup! https://justinjackson.ca/freedom/

@jessicamwicks Yup! Yahoo Mail was huge!

@ProductHunt Yes! Great book by @limedaring 👍

@CamelToad And that Christmas tree just stood by and did NOTHING?
