We have never raised and don't need to. My cofounder and I own 100% of our startup and wouldn't have it any other way.

Growth might've gone quicker with VC money but seemed like an unnecessary evil for an already profitable business and early mover advantage.

88% of venture-backed startup founders walk away with nothing, according to a study of nearly 250,000 founders.

Researchers from Wharton and the University of Zurich analyzed 157,669 US startups and 248,454 founders from 1987 to 2025.

The top 1% of startups captured 79% of all value at exit

The 12% of founders who did get paid received a median of $4.8 million after taxes

My first TV gig was writing for the local news at WSVN in Miami from 2:30-8am.

$12/hr and I lived an hour away.

It was brutal, but also fun as hell. Some of my best newsroom memories came from those early days with that writing team - all in our early 20s.

We’d constantly come up with puns or phrases with alliteration to hook the viewer.

One time an empty gym caught on fire overnight so our opening line was “Feeling the burn…”

Was such a rush to hear a tv host read your words/jokes on air. We’d burst out laughing.

Fun times

Here’s another one from this episode @JimmyPawelski

Resume scenes are a great way to credentialize the guest on air.

With video podcasts growing and growing, there are more faces are your screens than ever. Remind the viewer why they should be listening to this person.

Also gives the hosts a moment to collect themselves off screen.

A compromised employee laptop seems to be responsible for the largest crypto heist ever = $6.3 billion.

Bitcoin fell below $78k

[j.d. durkin @jd_durkin]

Binance just got hit by the worlds largest heist…

Over $6.3B was stolen out of Binance with the exchange saying the compromise could’ve happened through an employers laptop…🤨

Investigations are pointing towards North Korea with Binance promising to cover all losses but have temporarily paused withdrawals. 👀

This is the biggest crypto heist ever and it happened 1 day before Halloween…how fitting 🫠
