1.27.20 The first day a @HarlemCapital case was taught at @HarvardHBS. Getting into HBS was a dream come true and to now have my story told globally is unreal. 3% of HBS cases have Black protagonist, our stories need to be told and I'm truly honored to be one of them.

First time founders think 90% product and 10% distribution. Second time founders think 50% product and 50% distribution. Need obsess about how you reach customers as much as how you will delight them.

I’ve lost friends, I’ve lost LPs, and I’ve been laughed out of many rooms over the last 4yrs of @indievc for suggesting that founders should focus on fundamentals. Cashflow and profits are superpowers NOT the scarlet letter of “lifestyle businesses”.

idk if it’s a tech thing, a millennial thing or whatever but feeling like we have to all race each other towards some undetermined endpoint is probably why we are so prone to burnout

On the agency vs. in-house debate: 1/ Determine the core competencies needed for your business to succeed. 2/ Build those skills in-house and work with agency partners on areas that fall outside of that.

For those of you asking me if I bought my wework equity—I did not. But, not because I didn’t choose to buy it. Despite joining the company very early on, I was not offered options. Here’s a thread about what happened and my feelings about it now. /1

"The internet is the best school ever created. The best peers are on the Internet. The best books are on the Internet. The best teachers are on the Internet. The tools for learning are abundant. It’s the desire to learn that’s scarce." - @naval
