Knowing I had a long flight today and I actually thought ahead and saved a few articles to read. I thought some of you may find them interesting as well.

I/OWA Sponsorship Tickets
Not too long ago, I put up a short post about I/OWA and why I think it's important. At these similar events I've met investors, team members, and some of my best friends. The picture above is from Thinc Iowa a few years ago and it was exactly that type of event and an experience everyone… Continue reading I/OWA Sponsorship Tickets
2012. Hard Lessons Learned.
# Written mostly after Thanksgiving. Wrapped up sporadically for whatever reason, on whatever flight, or on whatever couch I seem to find myself on. Today it's a couch in Denver after a day in the mountains... In a rented Jeep. # Dwolla is coming up on its 2 year anniversary. There are a million huge milestones for… Continue reading 2012.

I spent most of… Continue reading The Road To Relevance
2 months in another mans shoes
Life seems chaotic for a reason. It is chaotic. Want to do a start up? Just know what you’re in for. Off to do a panel with Paypal, and then another one with Andrew Warner at DC Week. Every day is something new.
So uh. Why are you doing this?
// written at some point between after returning from London and traversing through Chicago Ideas Week and whatever is next // Today isn’t so different from any other day. I woke up in a bed that isn’t mine in a town I don’t live in. I woke up to the sound of my iPhone chiming… Continue reading So uh. Why are you doing this?
