Same solution. Can we agree it’s better to keep β€˜em separated?

Following a rigid plan for your life/year/day will not make you successful, it will only make you boring. #lifeadvice

That’s funny, because I was just in a Raising Cane’s that had all kinds of signage featuring Flava Flav, and oddly the Beach Boys’ β€œWouldn’t It Be Nice” came on. We didn’t have to wait so long before it was skipped. I think it took maybe 11 seconds.

Thanks for sharing this, watched the whole thing. Both interesting and crushing to learn about.

Similarly, a shiny recession.

I’ve been living without income for a whole year after quitting my corporate job to start my company. Saving money is more important to me now than ever.

I just got my first prescription from @costplusdrugs.com for $25. Last time it cost me $85, with insurance.

Works as advertised! πŸ˜‡πŸ‘πŸ˜€ TY!

Lately I’m worried about product quality from every side. For startups, there’s a strong external pressure from VCs to sell things early and prove the market. Tech giants have $$$$ at stake; we’re fighting for our existence.

This is our first/last dance, this is ourselves…
