The US economy surpassed expectations in Q3, growing at an annual rate of 4.9%, the highest since Q4 2021, driven by a tight job market and increased consumer spending.

The founders who win aren’t lucky — they’re prepared. Hey Reader! Safe to say the below post broke my LinkedIn record. 😎 I wrote a post that stirred up more opinions than I expected.

No roadmap, no numbers, no plan to increase value. In the post, I pointed out that most private...
A lesson I shared with my son that every founder should hear. To Reader the magnificent! Hope you're enjoying this second day of Fall. About 14-weeks until 2026.

Out of that conversation came a simple phrase that I ended up writing on a wall in my house: create more than you consume. It’s advice I want him to carry into life, but it’s also something I try to live out myself, and it’s just as true for...
Break the cycle before it breaks your margins. Hey there Reader the game-changer. Feast. Famine. Panic. Pitch. Repeat. It’s the cycle we fall into without realizing it.
