You think capital is your problem.
Ask again what you’d do to get your venture to the next stage before you raise.
Capital always finds it’s way to market ready companies.
It’s 80% of raising.
Great founders always get funded.
Don’t believe me?
We don't see things as we are.
We see things as we are.
I ask myself when this is an advantage and when it's a big disadvantage and it's time to think bigger or entirely differently
If you are having a dark season in your life with your venture, don't be afraid to reach out.
Life, and business are team sports.
What industries do you feel have a PR problem?
After speaking at Ai and Data center confs, I’ll go first:
- Frontier founders owe it to the US to shout why Ai is transformative instead of spreading fear
- Data center developers need to include locals - show clear benefit
Founders: Don't Tap Out
The world is counting on you to solve their problems.
Keep going.
We are rooting for you.
Tell me what problem you are solving

When things get hard:
Just remember your future self will thank you for persisting.
Most of life, is shots on goal.
I’m rooting for you all to be wealthy.
In time. In money. In freedom.
And most importantly: in relationship to yourself and others.
People can only tell you what’s possible for them.
You will need to see beyond, for them, and for yourself.
Founders, many of you consider yourself outliers, and special snowflakes
But what have you done and what are you doing to be 100% certain that you are?
Remember how you talk to clients and customers.
They are the hero when you’re doing it right.
When having capital conversations with investors; remember they are also your customer.
What they want and inspires them matters just like it does with clients.
Pressure is a privilege - Billie Jean King
Stress is our internal response, & possibly an optional one.
Pressure is external force on us. Also responsible for creating the diamonds in our lives.
Pressure creates purpose and prosperity.
Let your perspective shift outcomes
Before you get caught in comparison, remember that there is an unlimited supply of prosperity, human ingenuity, innovation and opportunity.
Be cheering on the trailblazers
Your brother or sister, reaching their dreams, only increases the likelihood that you will do the same
Haters. Naysayers.
Bring it on.
You don’t have to understand because I do.
I was born in the heat.
Let’s see who persists.
Who can outlast. I’m made for distance.
Hope you brought lots of water
