1/ Walking back onto the campus of @UCLA @uclaanderson this week felt like a #homecoming I didn’t know I needed.

Yes, I was there to teach a cohort about #entrepreneurship #startups #frameworks #strategy, the usual. But…

[Joshua Y. Lee @UscBruin]

How my #accountants #cpas #enrolledagents feeling? Survive #taxday2026!?

Came back from #HongKong on Sunday and my mom looks at me and asks if I filed her #taxreturn for her? #gulp

#Founders, find a market that is fundamentally misunderstood by most of the industry and then just roll full steam ahead.

Don't wait for permission or consensus. Build, build, build... while everyone else is still debating whether the opportunity is even real or not

[Joshua Y. Lee @UscBruin]

Did @ConductiveVC @ConductivePaul @laicarey just us the ingredients of the ideal #founder?

I think so…. #itsgotime

[Joshua Y. Lee @UscBruin]

We’re proud to back Showme Circle, a new and exclusive networking hub for industry operators and entrepreneurs across the region.

Columbia, MO has produced an outsized number of breakout companies. But the real magic happens when the people who built them stay and help the next generation move faster.

Backed by Redbud VC and @ColumbiaREDI, the events are designed to create meaningful connections between established industry players and innovative entrepreneurs, fostering collaboration and growth in Missouri's business ecosystem.

Our inaugural event kicks off with a deep dive into Construction Tech, featuring a powerhouse panel of operators who have scaled billion-dollar solutions and led the region’s premier institutions:

➔ Jabbock Schlacks, @EquipmentShare
➔ Karen Nowicki, @torusrev
➔ Christie Brinkman, McCarthy Building Companies, Inc.
➔ Patrick Leis, @JEDunn

We’re bringing together entrepreneurs, leaders, developers, and innovators to share their insights about industry trends, sustainable building, and the tech actually moving the needle.

📅 Date: February 5, 2026
📍 Location: EquipmentShare HQ in Columbia, MO

3 / For me, deep gladness ("joy"/"passion") shows up in #building : ideas into products, products into companies, and people into teams that do far more together than individually. This is solving for problems that haven’t been solvable, or creating something that didn’t exist.

[venturetwelve.io @venture_twelve]

@UscBruin @DarrelFrater lol 😂!

[Joshua Y. Lee @UscBruin]

1/ Waking up in 2026 and seeing a #HackerHous feature for @exit_hours! "Where Startups Get Real-Time Mentorship From Real Founders"

@pizaaz_com @Impressionsexpo @gumshoeventures @staxiom_ Awesome! 👏

1 / Our church spoke on #vocation / #work in the context of our #faith / #mission." Dr. Ken Chang shared a quote from Frederick Buechner that I believe has better shaped and articulated the way we should be thinking about work, calling, and ultimately purpose:

[Joshua Y. Lee @UscBruin]

One of the hardest truths and greatest ironies is realizing too late that I was already standing in the middle of the 'good ol’ days'… and not realizing I was there until looking back.

Find some time in living and loving #today especially with those on that journey with you.

[staxiom @staxiom_]

This is how we feel when we get to help first time #founders
