@kreighw I’ve asked a mentor of his biggest regrets. Felt like I had to warm up to that question first though! His answer stuck with me.

Frame of mind is the redo. How to do it better? You get all their wisdom at present this way.

@joshuamschultz 1/2 of 100 with the other half spread across an awesome team.

[Daryl Starr @darylbstarr]

@MikeBotkin_ @EverestBrady @J_M_Vogt Too kind. I am due for some new content.

@kelceylehrich @michaelnewt Pay an increasing percentage of mgr base as mgr clears three hurdles. We use tangible assets as base to calculate hurdle so managers are not penalized (or rewarded) for goodwill in acquisitions. Incentive to return tangible assets to HQ.

@shagbark_hick Best way to buy is direct.

@esopchris Does he have his current experience or his younger self? Him today? He’d go after the 10x if it was large, dominated its niche and geo. Him of old? Whichever is public and below TBV. Sell off excess. Recap.

@joshuamschultz I’m saddened to hear about this news. However, you both will take the opportunity to improve.

@esopchris @mikeljberger I think the local Kona owner hires teens to run their trucks. Summer job?!

I’m so proud of the foundations our team has laid. Now we climb.

[LEV Capital @LEV_Capital]

We began expanding geographically 9 months ago in 3 business lines: Skydive, Autoglass and Tool & Die. Our team is on pace to double in 12 months. Help others climb.

Most investors underestimate the frequency of moats and overestimate their size.

They assume large companies have moats and small companies don’t.

@Baj_Aman I still think every good B2C has key accounts that the experienced brand can tip first. Coca-Cola rolled into a geographic area with a plan. And that included some direct, boots on the ground work. Get the signs hung. Setup trucks. Assure the channels it is about to be go time.

Who are the experts / have experience in bringing a brand to a new city? Own Perfection Closets in Chicago and bringing it to Minneapolis and then other cities. What are the areas to focus on - SEO? Paid? Radio? Print? TV?

Who should I be talking to here?
