'Greg Zontanos is the co-founder and CEO at Locish, a Q&A app that helps users find new places to eat, drink, and have fun. They finally did it. Technology can now officially outsmart humans into believing it’s “one of our own.” Apocalyptic premonitions aside, this watershed moment – while an impressive feat of scientific endeavor – has a fundamental flaw in its design: tech isn’t really human.

'When I was an undergraduate at Carnegie Mellon, I took a class in Linear Algebra. The class was taught by a visiting graduate student, not by a Carnegie Mellon professor. The instructor of this class was *so* bad that ever since taking that class, I have always had a mental block against linear algebra and anything matrices. That mental block has come back to bite me in the rear several times.

'As an entrepreneur, you know that you need energy. As Aristotle once said, “The energy of the mind is the essence of life.” We need our mind to be sharp, which requires getting proper sleep and rest. And in a perfect world, we would all get our 7-8 hours of sleep per night. But let’s be honest, sometimes it just absolutely is not an option. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do something to get some of that energy back; because you can!

'I love it when scientists find human characteristics in monkeys. I’m not sure if that’s because it’s fun to anthropomorphise or because it tells us that those characteristics are embedded deeply in our DNA. Probably both. Perhaps the best known example is that monkeys have a keen sense of fairness, many studies have now shown that they get upset if rewards for tasks are not equal (one here ).

'If you’re asking this question with taxes in mind, you should know that the structure of your business decides how you will be taxed and how you can withdraw money from the business.
