@johnnytong I think, in startup lore, we overemphasize the accidents. 😉

Glitch --> Slack
Odeo --> Twitter

Most businesses don't get a second chance like that.

@heyjoshwood thx luv u 4ever 😘

@patrickjmq 👍

@seanwes "Fonts from Dropbox..." I'm already out. 🤣

@ispekhov Yup, coming up with low-quality ideas is easy.

(So is executing on something poorly).

@jimmyjacobson But that’s not the way it’s normally presented: https://sivers.org/multiply

@chrisfosterelli That’s not the way it’s often presented: https://sivers.org/multiply

@theideasofchris Can you give me an example?

@caruizdiaz Did they give you any seed funding?

@richwaldron And this is for @tray?

@staydecent Gotcha.

How did it differ from being a part of an online community? (Forums, Slack chats, etc…)

@Swizec Wait, are you in YC right now?

@richwaldron What does that look like, tangibly?

@AndrewAskins Why did you originally “need” them?

Was it primarily the $16k investment?

How much did their mentorship + additional resources play into it?

@CasJam Apple has been ridiculously slow in updating lately.

Their new official response is that it takes "up to 24 hours" for an episode to appear in Apple Podcasts (mobile, desktop, web).

@maxogles Lol. I grew up in a sheltered farm town in Alberta, Canada. Give me some slack! 😅

@taylortomlinson listening to your episode with @marcmaron right and now and it’s great!

I’m going to watch your special tonight. 👍

@CatchKristen Have you listened to the @planetmoney episode on this yet?

It’s enlightening!

@JesperBylund I believe the USA is the only developed nation without universal healthcare. 😜

@JesperBylund If you were neighbors with the USA, you wouldn’t feel that way. Seeing the devestation their system causes on their people is heartbreaking.

@JesperBylund I’m Canadian: I’m a huge believer in public health care! Most Canadians agree with me (plus, folks in the UK, France, Denmark, Sweden....)

@emd Thanks for sharing it Erin.

@paidinsights Whoa! 🤯 Is that normal?

@evankirby Congrats on the move! 🙌

@StephenWilson There are tons of companies that make decks (some of which feature pretty awful misogynistic graphics).

Some cool deck companies to check out:
- @WELCOMEsk8brds
- Almost
- Element
- Polar

@StephenWilson Ok, generally there are two ways to buy a skateboard:

A) as a “complete” (deck, trucks, bearings, wheels, grip tape - all pre-assembled)

B) custom build where you choose each component (or, choose a deck you like and get your local shop to recommend trucks, wheels, etc)

@StephenWilson Do you know if he has a favorite pro skater?

@StephenWilson Kids these days are riding wider boards.

I’d say you’re looking for something 8”-8.25” wide.

Element is a classic choice:

RT @dohertyjf: Love this honest post from @mijustin. https://justinjackson.ca/cure

@patrickbjohnson A rant during a concert is one thing, but so much *good music* is political:

- Rage Against the Machine
- Green Day
- Beastie Boys
- Black Sabbath
- Even Iron Maiden has protest songs!

@patrickbjohnson Yup, that’s totally fair.

Although… a lot of good music is political. 😉

@DKThomp When you have a breadline, you should design it so the people who need bread the most are at the front.

@chrislema @curtismchale @rezzz @mikecodemonkey Good cognitive reasoning is, in itself, long-term thinking.

It gives us the time, space, and energy to fully consider a bigger picture.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/good-thinking/201309/why-having-too-little-leads-bad-decisions

@chrislema @curtismchale @rezzz @mikecodemonkey You don’t think this study proves that point?

“Neuroimaging results suggest that a scarcity mindset affects neural mechanisms underlying goal-directed decision making.”

Meaning, we’re able to engage in goal-oriented thinking when our needs are met.
