@kirbywinfield @albertmonek Great bash. Thanks for hosting for the community to get together!

Been a bit since I've talked about innovation in #jax. Should be fun chat with @DocCLR at @thelinkusa tonight. 😳🙂

These "human verification bots" are a bit out there these days. :)

File this in #thingsIdontunderstand... what I've found most perplexing today is on a flight - people that remove a mask and cough and then put the mask back on. Regardless of your views, how does this make sense? #masks #huh #why

[Elton Rivas @Elton__Rivas]

Truth.

[Web Smith @web]

The durable DTC brand:

- began with little-to-no funding
- has an organic marketing flywheel
- has a tribe of repeat purchasers
- understands earned media
- maintains 5x+ ROAS
- focuses on core competency
- outsources the rest

Most of all: stodgier VCs won't understand it.

First flight I've taken since early March. I think the strangest thing isn't the percentage of people wearing masks and the percentage not wearing them.. it's the intensity of the glares that both groups are giving each other the entire flight. 🤷‍♂️😳🤔🤦‍♂️

[Elton Rivas @Elton__Rivas]

After a BIG week. Today's mantra that came out from a few great 1:1 mtgs with our crew @semiexact was this. Simple. Straightforward. Direct. And somehow, still broad enough to encompass a lot - "Ask for Help & Do the Work." #growth

[Elton Rivas @Elton__Rivas]

You know it's been a long few weeks when you get home, see it's just after 10pm and think... "Nice! It's still early." 😬😳

That feeling as an entrepreneur going from "Everything is about to crash & burn..." to "This may be exactly what we need."

Yeah. That's today. It's a good reminder to keep working. Take lessons learned. Learn more lessons. And, be faithful.

God provides just what you need.

[Snoqualmie Pass @SnoqualmiePass]

What a thoughtful bear 🐻 We love that kind of teamwork 💪 Happy Wednesday everyone and stay dry - the rain is coming down at the summit ☔️

[Elton Rivas @Elton__Rivas]

@TriSalvagni @LewTurner So weird - One Spark has come up at least 20 times in the past two weeks.

Someone said "...it provided a megaphone for unheard voices. Sure seems like coming out of a pandemic/wild time would be another great time to launch."

Thinking of finally starting a podcast after numerous requests from people that I've shared our @semiexact journey with so far. What are some #podcasts that you like? Why do you like them? What would you want to hear about?
