no regrets about going with my gut.
So I was watching the Techcrunch 50 tonight live on ustream while waiting for Julie to get off the phone before watching Mad Men, and just as I was about to switch it off, I saw a name I recognized. The upcoming presenter was a company called Yext, a company I knew. My jaw hit […]
Talk About It
It’s definitely been an interesting 2 months or so for me. In addition to traveling a lot for weddings and a vacation, moving into a new (and better, much better) apartment, I’ve seen a lot professionally as well. Coming off of my so called “failed entrepreneurial experiment,” I really struggled for a little while in […]
Opportunities in the moment
Image via Wikipedia I’ve been meaning to write something on Fred Wilson‘s post last week on job losses here in the US, noting that the announcement last week of 75,000 jobs being wiped out in one day exceeded the amount of jobs he had helped create in 22 years of venture investing. Wow. He […]
Why are you scared?
(See, she’s harmless) As the proud new owner of a puppy (she’s about a year, so technically still a puppy, but almost full grown) in New York City, I’ve become quite good at reading people and instantly identifying dog people and non-dog people. Dog people generally look down at her as we approach them with […]
Project to lifestyle
(“Learning to Swim,” on flickr by sposta via CC – You can’t learn to swim until you jump in) I feel like everyone I speak to these days has at least a “project or two,” they are working on. By project I mean they have something they are at least thinking about that hopefully could […]
Life Tip: Don’t worry about what other people think…
I have a new dog (puppy really, she’s about a year) and she’s great. Anyway there are a lot of dogs in my building and it’s been great talking with my neighbors as we all head out on our morning and evening walks. I never realized how great a connector dogs can be. I’ve talked […]
I’m good, really
It seems like everytime I post to this blog I start off with an apology for not posting in awhile and while I’m tempted to do the same here, I won’t… Things have been great. I’ve moved into a nice new apartment on e. 17th st. just a short walk from Union Square, which I’m […]
Starbucks here, Starbucks there
One of the very first things I noticed when I moved to New York City was the unbelievable amount of Starbucks. I can, right now, think of roughly 7 Starbucks that are within a reasonable walking distance of me, 4 that are within 5 minutes of walking. You know what? They are ALL busy most […]
Talk about your dreams without the “buts”
I had dinner a few weeks ago with some friends from home while they were visiting New York. They were both extremely excited to be in the city, and mentioned that they would love to move up here…BUT they can’t because of this, this, and this. “You know how it is…” Nope. You can really […]
Mind Petals: Young Entrepreneur Network
I’m excited to announce today that I’ve been asked and accepted an opportunity to join the Advisory Board of Mind Petals, a thriving community for young entrepreneurs. I first heard about Mind Petals when their founder, David, wrote a little story about me after stumbling across my blog in a google search. I was flattered […]
