@jmitch You should talk to @markpearson for sure. That’s his jam!

There is a certain amount of bravery required to build a startup that you believe in. But when you truly think about the consequences of giving up on your dream there is really no risk, only opportunity #startup

Father Stu is a must see movie. A lost man who found God only to be physically hindered by circumstances outside of his control, but never lost his faith. Played amazing well by @markwahlberg. Plus on Election Day we got the movie to ourselves! #win #FatherStu #inspo

A tough time for startups or an opportunity for creative growth? @ycombinator sent this email to all its Founders this week. Point 9 stands out to me the most.

@9NewsAUS @eddy_meyer Thank you Eddy!

[Mark Bowness @MarkBowness]

A massive thanks to @eddy_meyer for inviting me to share my experience of having my social media accounts hacked.

Plus giving me the ability to provide advice to other business owners to prevent this from happening to them.

Check out 9News tonight.

PSA for non-technical founders looking for a technical co-founder:

Don't bring an idea to the conversation, bring traction

[Mark Bowness @MarkBowness]

82% of young Australian’s said they experienced mental health issues during COVID and this is Australia alone.

Government, charities and startups should be focusing on solving this crisis. We all have a role to play.

Pretty honoured and humbled to be interviewed by @JBandTheDoctor for their podcast today. Can’t wait to share it once it’s live. Thanks guys!

[Mark Bowness @MarkBowness]

@ShaneBinny @adirshiffman Yes mine was 3 attempts. I am on a 3 attempt roll at the moment!

[Mark Bowness @MarkBowness]

I love Wordle, but will NYT’s end up loving its purchase of this current “craze”, our will there be an upside that all struggling newspapers can learn from? Definitely worth reading @adirshiffman ’s take on this: https://t.co/5T9N88odJj

The support that is currently out there for the Aussie start-up scene is next level 🚀. Atlassian alumni raises $10.6 million for tech to create “a world with more founders” https://t.co/cVBUAfQLKo #startup

[Mark Bowness @MarkBowness]

@adirshiffman My pleasure. You made some awesome points

[Mark Bowness @MarkBowness]

When you come across as such a newbie to the “guy” at the @binance stand only to realise later on at the event that the “guy” is the Australian CEO @TraversLeigh << thanks for your patience!

[Mark Bowness @MarkBowness]

What’s your #startups cold out reach response rate? 16 scheduled calls out of 56 messages - is that good? #inspo

[Mark Bowness @MarkBowness]

I am intrigued by the bribes verses perks perspective. In the startup world what now differentiates a bribe verses perk - just so us #startups can get it right?

[@jason @Jason]

breaking news: Facebook is a miserable company and is removing the bribes they used to infantilize their workers and commodify their dissent.

perhaps a savvy move by Zuck to shed the entitled & get back to their hardcore "lock the doors, we ain't leaving" roots

[Mark Bowness @MarkBowness]

A massive congratulations to the EarlyWork team @DanBrockwell @jono_herman and @_mazzwu - this is inspo for us all!

[Jono Herman @jono_herman]

Whilst this is a massive milestone for us, what it signals is more important: a radical shift in how young people in Australia & New Zealand are thinking about their careers

But for @EarlyworkHQ, it's early days 🌞💼

[Mark Bowness @MarkBowness]

The startup scene is the healthiest it has ever been supported by the massive amounts of capital that is coming in. But this is focused on the big companies, not the early stage start ups - this needs to change (paraphrased) - Steve Grace, The Nudge Group #Emergence2022

“The high valuations of businesses that we saw during COVID are now over” says @jason #Emergence2022
