@KiwiDenny I loved it...but I thought the book cover was a printing error for the longest time.

Focus: fragmentation is the enemy of execution.
True for both business and personal goals.

Welcome Micro-Dyn! Was so fun to watch this deal progress within Brydon and I can't imagine a better fit for my cohort members Sean & Steve. https://t.co/fbP83dJX64

Hey, at least you're clear and concise, I like it! When I was a founder (of an extreme niche software) I was hit up all the time, so I get it.

We are unique in the sea of PE, and since everyone exits eventually (either on their terms or not) you should agree to a meeting with me as a data gathering exercise.

Software executives that don't talk to their customers make poor roadmap decisions.

[Timothy Sarazen @timothysarazen]

I spoke to 118 founders in Q1. The best product market fit is when an exec of a business solves a problem inside their own company using software. Then they launch the software as a new company, and their old business becomes their first customer.

Works beautifully.

@zachary_ashburn But I thought the answer to all my problems was to just buy real estate

It had a good life… but can I buy another @DocArtisan iphone12 mini wallet? Did they stop making them?

It's because you remind them of the kinds of people that bullied us in highschool.

Think of the DG male stereotypical player who has been in the sport for longer than 5 years. Now place that person in highschool. Now look at yourself.

You represent the football captain homecoming king. Plus look at your wife. They see your success in "their" sport after only a few years, they resent that.

It's not what you've done for the sport (which is awesome and I'm a fan) it's just that you're a cool kid, and they are not, and disc golf isn't supposed to be a cool kid sport in their eyes.
