Back in 2012 and 2013, I couldn’t stop talking about Bitcoin. I was in high school, looking at ways to get crypto. It was a new technology, and I was very much an early adopter. I loved gadgets and I loved what Bitcoin meant. It was freedom, decentralization, and a better way to move money…
I’ve always been interested in tracking my health. For years, I used the Gyroscope app along with Fitbits and other fitness trackers. That all changed when my Apple Watch Series 2 unexpectedly died and I haven’t used anything since. Now I’m back into fitness and body tracking, partly because the health and longevity space is…
There is never a right way to do a deal. You can negotiate and find creative ways to finance or fund the deal. This is not always clear as there are “rules” most follow, but owner financing or financing with others is always flexible. I’ve started to run into more businesses and startups that want…
I do a version of these annual reviews each year: I am going to change my template a bit from previous years, partially to break from that template and share my thoughts without the template boxing me in. My previous statements still stand. I don’t want to set resolutions or make new changes; I want…
I went to Austin for the Formula 1 racing at the Austin Grand Prix. It was one of my first races, at least one that I remember, don’t think I ever did any as a kid. The event was a blast, since it was not only a regular race weekend but also a Sprint weekend….
This was my first CaboPress, my first time in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and my first business conference since COVID. And honestly, it may have set the bar too high for any future conferences. CaboPress is anything but a typical conference. There are no convention halls, no windowless rooms, and no crowds of people wandering…
At the start of 2024, I was invited to be a mentor within the Geekdom Mentor network. What is Geekdom? Geekdom is a community-driven coworking space that empowers entrepreneurs through collaboration and community. They offer programs like Startup Bootcamp, helping people turn ideas into businesses with support from mentors, workshops, and other programming. It’s a…
I have become more obsessed with weather, not just for small talk, but because it’s fascinating how we forecast and track storms and other weather systems. Most weather forecasts are not accurate, I am sure everyone knows that. Most weather people on TV have the hated job of telling a whole city that it will…
Apple’s WWDC was software-focused with no hardware, but a lot was announced. It was a bit boring in sections, but the biggest announcement was about Apple Intelligence. Apple is ushering in the future of computing and doing it at scale. Other companies like Humane AI or Rabbit AI are doing it innovatively, but they are…
Recently, I made it a goal to be more active on Twitter (yes, I still call it Twitter). One of the tools I am using to schedule content, track metrics, and generate ideas is Typefully. In recent years, the tool has become more popular among Twitter power users and professional content creators. It was founded…
