@chartyios I’m very excited for this! Charty is crucial component of my personal productivity toolkit. Swift Charts looks like a great addition too.

Happy to participate in a TestFlight if you’d like beta feedback.

I spent 10 years with corporate objective-focused technology businesses, the last 5 in customer experience design consulting.

I can’t imagine aver going back to a product business that isn’t aligned around their customer’s needs.

[Scott Obara @ScottObara]

I can recall the exact day I learned the importance of spending time with customers to build products that genuinely meet their needs.

@danielpunkass I saved my Garbage pail collection for over 35 years and you’re telling me it’s not worth its weight in gold? 😧

@cameronwilson The question isn’t how you got in my phone, it’s how you got those calluses

Imagine if all meetings could be this productive! 🙃

@mrdanmiller Funny you mention. I was actually just thinking about incentive models. I’m pre-seed at the moment, paying contracted developers, but have a few team members contributing out of a combination of interest/excitement, trust and equity. Incentive models should be win win for all.

[Scott Obara @ScottObara]

There’s a different kind of pressure telling your developers to “go” when it’s your money on the line instead of an employer’s. #startup

@darth We kept ours under the bathroom sink, which meant it primarily got used while on the toilet. Good memories. 😌💭🚽🌊🏀🗑

Be a Kermit the Frog. Have a creative vision and no ego. Recognize the unique talents of those around you. Attract weirdos. Manage chaos. Show kindness. Be sincere.

I'm curious if it gets easier or worse when the money is from an #investor. Are you a #startup or #entrepreneur whose taken #angelinvestor or #venturecapital funding? What’s your experience?

[Scott Obara @ScottObara]

Always great to get out among other #entrepreneurs and the broader #entrepreneurial #community at @CBR_IN’s First Wednesday Connect.

Some assume that economic growth is inherently at odds with saving the planet. Actually it's closer to the other way round. Economic growth often takes the form of new technology, and new technology usually does less damage to the environment.
