I wonder if virtual voice assistants will ruin the game 'charades' for future generations when so many tasks can be accomplished simply via voice command 🤔 #ripcharades

Thinking about what type of Founder Archetype I fit. Humble Operator? Agile Visionary? Seasoned Executive? What version of Story Teller do I fall into? How is my Founder-Market-Fit? Great questions for personal reflection. Thank's for the wisdom @_changxu from @BasisSet. @launch

This appears to be Casper's business: Buy mattress at $400. Sell at $1,000. Refund/return 20% of them. --> Keep $400, on avg. ... then spend $290 of that on ads/marketing. ... and $270 on admin (finance, HR, IT). --> Lose $160. Repeat.

To pick up a set of #AirPodsPro the only place I could buy them was literally at the Cupertino headquarters store. Is this indicative of poor production planning or a remarkably successful product launch. After testing them out, definitely the latter. Bravo @Apple
Has your business hit a capacity tipping point? A level of busyness so great the ‘knowledge-holders’ in your organization can’t be everywhere they need to be, and things start dropping. 5-minutes of advice: lnkd.in/g9N4C_m #scaleup #growth #business #startup

Keep up the good work 👍🏼
We ❤️ our team at The Accelerator. Fun fact about us, we all have either founded or worked for startups in Calgary! Sadly our fab Director of New Ventures, Sam, was gallivanting in Costa Rica when this was taken and is missing from the shot! #theaccelerator #pitchplease #yyc

Moving from working 'in' to 'on' your business requires you to see ur business as a 'system of systems'. Often, people put in the work to outline the systems but fail to capture them into a tool that makes it easy for staff to access & follow the systems. Check out @tryknowhow

Some interesting things learned from @simonoliverraby @MRUBissett - 'Scaling Company, aka 'Scale Up' = >10 staff, 20% y/y growth, 72.8% growth/3yrs - 50% of Canadian companies survive the first 5yrs - 0.1% of businesses exceed 100 staff Q: does this reflect what u r seeing?

Somewhat reluctantly I recently returned to twitter. This short clip beautifully captures my reluctance. Twitter, LinkedIn, Snap, Instagram etc. are remarkable tools, though I wonder how their founders think about the prudent concerns raised in this video youtube.com/embed/mSbYQz3rlu…
“Simplicity is complexity resolved” something my wise friend @edwardleaman taught me. After 100’s of hours of talking to business owners, we learned that they want a simple-to-use tool to help their teams work with confidence. So we built it. #buildsomethingpeoplewant
