Founders:
Some days you will feel like an absolute failure along the way. I know I do.
Don't fight it, because it's part of the process. I just want anyone that needs to hear this right now to hear it: you're not alone. you're not a failure. if you ever want to chat, hmu.
There are very few things in life that are more difficult than running a business. Be proud of yourself for believing in yourself enough to chase your dreams.
More than anything, Keep going. 🤘
It's funny how Apple gets hammered for "vaporware" for not shipping Apple Intelligence with iPhone 16, yet Meta gets hailed for demoing a prototype.
Had so much fun catching up and learning more about how @wimpdecaf came to be. Thanks @whale!
Just had an awesome convo about @wimpdecaf with @kenseals for his podcast Everyday Empires. It's been 12 years since Ken and I have spoken and we jumped right in. Episode coming soon! everydayempires.com/
I’m in full dad mode, y’all. I’m shopping for my first roof top cargo box, and thinking to myself, “oh that looks so good!”
Before this, I never once took a second glance at a car with a cargo box. Now here I am considering how they might accentuate the lines of my car 😅

Rowdee just hit 500 orders on @Shopify. 🤘🍻🎉
The first of many milestones to come.
Easy recovery drink:
- whole milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- pinch of sea salt
Good for those times when your kids are napping and a blender is just not an option

I want to take this tweet to thank @kenseals for checking off the my first interview as a founder.
Honored.
Thankful.
Motivated.
I love this early-stage, pack and ship and load up in your car phase 🫶. Reminds me of seeing @tylerjohnson_59 load up his iconic toddler golf bags
Shipping boxes of coffee!! wimpdecaf.com went live on Friday and it's been a great first 5 days. Grateful to have such wonderful customers. Everyone's been really sweet.
People want their good decaf!

Awesome conversation with @kenseals about starting my design studio and the path that got me here. Watch the recorded conversation in the link below!
I recently chatted with @isabelle_bilmes of @PrettyClever_ai. We talked about:
1. The transition from freelancer to design agency founder
2. Why she focuses on design for early-stage startups
3. Where she gets clients
4. And the advice she’d give herself

I’ve been super impressed with the brand, the website, and the emails ahead of the Wimp’s launch today. Excited to chat with @whale soon and share the story on Everyday Empires 👌🏼

I’ve been experimenting with homemade endurance drinks for my long runs in the heat. Here’s my go to recipe:
- 500ml water (~17oz)
- 1/3 tsp sea salt (~790mg sodium)
- 2tbsp maple syrup (~26g carbs)
- 1tbsp milled chia seeds (~5g carbs)
- 1/2 half lime juice (flavor + potassium)
I recently started writing a newsletter every Monday morning where I’m rounding up what’s going on in the ultrarunning world. Wanted this to exist and it’s a fun way to start the week. Looking for “beta” readers to give feedback and lmk if it’s garbage or not.
Ran my first 30+ mile week in a long time last week. Stroller runs coming in clutch, adding up to 20 miles. Convinced I’m on the path to becoming an elite now 😅
Ultrarunner or ultrarunning curious? Don’t miss @MountainOutpost’s live coverage of the High Lonesome 100 from Buena Vista, Colorado today. Fun to have on in the background :)

I’ve been getting into ultras as a spectator more recently. The live coverage is getting to be really incredible. Amazing to see these athletes pushing the limits
