The Four Seasons of Your Start-Up…Autumn Begins! (reprise)
(Originally posted in 2012…thought of it as I picked my last tomato of the season yesterday!) The temperature outside my window last night dipped to 44, the crickets have stopped chirping and my wife told me that she “can’t manage … Continue reading

The Search for Serendipity…And Why It Matters To Your Venture
I turn 48 this week and like most people passing from one year to the next, I find myself a bit nostalgic for the way things used to be. One of the things I miss…a little at least…has gotten extremely … Continue reading →
