This report is devastating and important. We have a responsibility here in Minnesota – and across the country – to understand the impact the boarding schools had on our families and to take action. https://t.co/5x6l5X3T7T

@greatnorthvc @atifsiddiqi @branch @Idealab I meant to ask this on the pod, @atifsiddiqi, but we talked about more important things.

What was your top-grossing Nintendo game rental, and why was it Mario 3?

"It's a good idea to build a services company and transition it into a product company, but in practice it's really difficult to wake up and not just spend 100% of your hours on the software product and on the the long term company and the long term vision." @jmkaufenberg

"One business had management that I needed to check with, the other business had a sales manager that I needed to consult with, all of whom were imaginary people!" -@jmkaufenberg on running a services biz and a product biz at the same time

Old economy: give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish

New economy:give everyone the means to learn fishing on demand, virtually, and asynchronously, flexible capital to invest in fishing rods, and communities of other fishers to learn from

Startups on the Range? You better believe it.

“It is a beautiful place—and modern technology allows us to do business and develop our business from anywhere in the world.”

What if there was a political roadmap that didn’t rely on energizing a partisan base through outrage but focused, you know, on improving people’s lives?

@danolsen Haha! It was a complete coincidence that I was on Amazon looking up biz books the same day I was moving. I’m glad it’s doing well- I have gotten a lot of value from it!

[Josef Siebert @siebertjosef]

I’m moving and had to separate the essential biz books from the rest. 2 sit on my desk. @danolsen’s “Lean Product Playbook” and whatever I’m currently reading.

It’s currently #10 AND #19 on Amazon under “Product Management”… I had no idea but I am not surprised.

Check it out.
