Austin Startup

My dream has always been to work from home as a graphic designer, but little did I know, it’s not as great as it sounds. It certainly has its perks but what many people don’t realize is the extent to which you are constantly alone. When I worked from home, it was hard to differentiate home from work.

Why buy IT? Why buy MINE? Why buy NOW?

Berkonomics

What a powerful set of three questions. These are so succinct, so well defined, so precise that everyone in sales and everyone involved in marketing must be able to answer these three questions without pause, and convincingly.

OnlyOnce

I just said this to a fellow little league coach, and it’s certainly true for baseball. I’ve coached games with sloppy and/or blowout wins in the past. You take the W and move on, but it’s hard to say “good game” at the end of it and feel like you played a good game.

An Astronaut, a Scientist, and a Coach Walk Into A Business

Austin Startup

How three smart men elevated three brilliant women to become game changers in their fields I am both proud of and annoyed with the #MeToo movement. Women are voicing their hurt and struggles in the face of violent men. Men in positions of power are being held accountable for their actions, and it is a great thing to see. It has fostered a culture where women have the confidence to speak out against sexual harassment.

The problem is whether the law would be respected, how it would be imposed, and mainly, what would be the effect on the cryptocurrency price. Prohibition of the technology.
