@WinSportsTV Este señor es un cancer! Todo, pero absolutamente todo le parece malo! Una cosa es ser objetivo, otra es ser un amargado a tiempo completo!

@boardyai @andrewdsouza building Mama Brew, a vitamin-packed coffee brand for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Boardy Pro would be huge for this

“When my wife Megane got pregnant, coffee stopped being a simple pleasure and became a daily calculation. How much caffeine is safe? Is decaf really decaf? Why does it taste so bad? What used to be a comforting ritual turned into another thing she had to police herself about, another small sacrifice layered on top of so many others.

I kept watching her go through that, and I kept thinking: this isn't really about coffee, it's about care.

I was a director at TikTok, well paid, stable, and about to become a father for the first time. I walked away from all of it, put my own savings into formulations and production, and started from zero, knowing the business wouldn't pay me back quickly.

My mum raised three children on her own in Colombia while trying to build a business. She understood what it meant to carry things quietly, without recognition. I think that's where this came from, the instinct to notice what women absorb without complaint.

In nine months we've sold to over 700 customers and won a silver award at the Project Baby magazine awards. But the number I think about most is simpler than that. Somewhere out there, a pregnant woman is having her morning coffee without doing the mental math. That's the whole thing, really."

@helpbnk What’s one small daily friction you wish someone would just fix?

Ours was coffee during pregnancy!

Thanks @helpbnk for featuring our story!

@edgaralandough We have a 15 month daughter and seeing this hit me hard. Great perspective to keep in mind for the next several years! Thanks for sharing!

[Harold B @haroldb]

So yeah. That’s me.

New dad. Accidental founder. Permanently under-slept.

I’ll be posting the real stuff: wins, disasters, the “wtf was I thinking” moments.

Stick around for more!

If you’re a parent, a founder, or both, what’s the one thing nobody warned you about?

Everyone told me the first year of fatherhood would change me.

They were right.

But not in the ways I expected. 🧵

Sophia is almost 16 months old now.
She still doesn’t sleep through the night. The company is still standing.
I’m still figuring both out. Not so loudly, but in public, apparently.

@fdbedout Según lo qu veo “FIFA clasifica los partidos de clasificación al Mundial por encima de los amistosos. Los clasificatorios tienen un multiplicador mayor, por lo que ganarlos aumenta más la clasificación de un equipo que ganar un amistoso”.

Del bombo 1, ojalá nos toque con Canadá
