@mullalatweets read it. Thank you!

@itengelhardt thanks! I'll check it out tomorrow.

If your business is dying, nostalgia and sentimentalism are two good ways to put the final nails in the coffin.

Call me old-fashioned, but "record sales" don't mean much unless they're also paired with "record profits".

@adii We eliminated a $19/month plan years ago for a $50/mth plan. I still think it's one of the best business decisions we made.

@SachaGreif .... a baby?

@rrhoover hmmmm.

I don't think Quibb is letting in anyone outside of an inner circle of startups. Feels like an echo chamber to me.

@rrhoover beauty! It's perfect.

Follow-back y'all! https://angel.co/mijustin

@rrhoover you should add Startup Edition to your profile here: https://angel.co/ryan-hoover ;)

For me, the best time to write is when inspiration hits.

If I write an idea down in a notebook, it doesn't happen.

@marcoarment YESSSSSSS

@allanbranch Maybe "success" is the wrong word. I'm talking more about growth: most of my growth happened when I jumped in a "big" pond.

1. People don't mind seeing ads on Google

@iChris how's this. You and your family come take a nice vacation in the Okanagan, and we'll hang out then. ;)

@kylefox @raspberrysarah actually we're IMMORTAL enemies. That's even worse.

No doubt about it: @digidod is the best host in #yegfood. Every time I go to to @TresCarnales he steps it up: amazing food, great service.

@einarvollset ah yes. I hear you.

@iChris @raspberrysarah FAKE mustaches run the family.

@bitmakerlabs @Medium thanks for sharing!

@youdain thank you Yudai! Does the Japanese translation look good?

@Krizel77 yup!

Good content / products / ideas need good distribution.

Even if what you've built is awesome, people still need to find out about it.

@rrhoover hahaha. I can't remember if I mentioned it, but that was sung around 2008-2009.

Just sent an email to 800 people on my Build & Launch list.

Blown away by how many respond to the email personally. Email is a winner.

Happy Canada Day!

I'll be in at @industrymailout helping our American and European customers today!
