by Hal Gregersen, author of “ Questions Are the Answer: A Breakthrough Approach to Your Most Vexing Problems at Work and in Life “ Creative breakthroughs come about when courageous entrepreneurs dare to reframe the most puzzling challenges by asking different questions.

HIPAA is a federal law that college and university boards should be familiar with because it falls under board oversight. Not all educational institutions fall under HIPAA laws. In most cases, college boards fall under the law. In those cases, board trustees should have a basic understanding of the law and be familiar with the many provisions that relate to compliance measures.

Unfortunately, your next stage of scaling the business is fraught with potential oversights that can lead to the downfall of even the best-laid business plans.

I recently recorded two free courses with LinkedIn Learning. They are each under an hour long and broken up into a bunch of small segments. The first one is on Raising Venture Capital and is based on content from the book Venture Deals: Be Smarter Than Your Lawyer and Venture Capitalist that I wrote with Jason Mendelson. Amy tells me that this is her favorite shirt from my current rotation of Robert Graham shirts.

We are very excited to announce our investment in Kobalt , a new security as a service company. Security is increasingly on everybody’s mind, with several high profile, large scale hacks over the past few years.

If you’ve ever worked at an agency, you know the value of client education. Results aren’t persuasive if reports seem like a jumble of acronyms. Trend lines aren’t impressive if they track metrics that appear distant from business goals. Client education is central to marketing messaging, too, especially for sellers with long sales cycles. Prospects spend a limited amount of time on your site.

At Podia , we ended 2018 at 10 people. By the end of April 2019, we were 17. Very quickly, as we were hiring more people, it became very apparent that we would need to update our processes. In principle, I hate processes. I think most of the time they just get in the way of doing real work and add unnecessary steps from whatever you’re trying to do.

As you may know, the title of this blog, OnlyOnce, comes from a blog post written by my friend and board member Fred Wilson from Union Square Ventures entitled You Are Only a First-Time CEO Once , which he wrote back in 2003 or 2004. That inspired me to create a blog for entrepreneurs and leaders.
