While his college classmates fascinated on academics, Jerry raced down the sidelines snagging sizzling passes for the Baylor Bears. Soon he scored a much sought after intern offer from NASA and bought an acoustic guitar to serenade the boot scooters.

Aaron Edelheit recently came out with a great book titled The Hard Break: The Case for a 24/6 Lifestyle. . He interviewed me as he was writing it so I show up a few times, along with a few friends that I sent his way. The subtitle is a good hint – instead of a 24/7 life (where you are always on, especially in a work context), Aaron suggests 24/6, where there is a full 24 hour “hard break” each week.

By now, one wonders what tech news will be tucked into the public record the days before a major holiday travel week approaches.

Yesterday the news broke that PillPack is being acquired by Amazon for $1 Billion. I’m incredibly happy for TJ Parker and Elliot Cohen, co-founders of the pharmaceutical delivery startup. They started the company at Techstars in Boston in February 2013, and raised $4 Million around the time they completed the accelerator program. A couple years ago at a Techstars Q&A they discussed how their respective backgrounds led to the founding of the company, and described some of their early e

There will always be many families that want their children to have the campus experience. For them, the total costs beyond tuition, such as room, board, and transportation, are more than worth the price.

I believe that the most precious commodity that we have is our time. We all get the same amount of it, and how we spend that time will tie directly to the things we accomplish. That’s why when I saw the headline for the article, “ What’s the best use of a leader’s time? ”, I knew I needed to write a blindpost against it. Blindposts are when I read a headline and think, “ Hey, I have a thought about that ,” and I write my thoughts without reading the original article.

I have posted a few times on management carve out plans (back in February 2011 and November 2011 ; wow, time flies!!). Our portfolio companies routinely adopt carve out plans when the founders/employees equity values are not likely to provide enough incentive to get a company to an exit. This typically results when the company has raised a lot of money and the preferred stock liquidation preference would absorb an out sized portion of the exit proceeds.

Last Friday, I attended the 5th Hustle Con. I could not be more proud of The Hustle team. It was the best Hustle Con to date in my opinion. And perhaps even the best event I’ve ever attended. The Hustle , the company that runs Hustle Con, is a fast growing media company that serves up tech news in an edgy way. Today, they have around 1m subscribers, is doing multimillions in revenue per year, and has 20 employees.
