I was talking to several VC's this week about my #pettech product, and they all had the same advice for me: "Get the data." "Do the research." "Have you talked to your actual customers, yet? What are their thoughts?" This underlines such an important lesson though: it doesn't matter if you are a company of 1 or 1000 - always be doing #research. Thankfully, my background is in research and data, and I'm more then happy to help other #entrepreneurs and companies instill continuous research strategies and tactics 🤙

What strength do you bring to the table in your relationships? Whether it's work 💼 , platonic 🤝 , romantic 💘 , or otherwise - knowing your strengths and what you bring to the table is key to having any relationship work out. Yes, work on weaknesses if developing that weakness is necessary. But if it's not...surround yourself with people who have that strength and have them bring it to the table. #superpowers #kryptonites #developers #grateful #softskills

One particular person back in college taught me a lesson that I did not learn until much later in life, after that relationship left. This person knew how to relax and knew the importance of living life that was outside of an occupation. He knew the importance of needing to shut off the mind and ironically, that's what helps us be even more driven and focused when we return to work. Maybe even be more inspired afterwards. But of course, I didn't lesson - I just powered ahead at full steam. I didn't understand how to live a life outside of my profession until after our time together was over. Without knowing this person, I would never have the confidence to travel solo, to go experience different cultures and cities and natural wonders "just because". That would have really limited my self growth - not exposing myself to different parts of the world and it would have not known how wonderfully recharged I get after having the courage to travel solo. #relationships #lifelessons #purpose #relax
