April 14, 2019
0 Comments6 Minutes
After spending three incredible sunny days in Rome, I could try to wax poetically about the history, culture, and people of this truly unique city but many books have been written about this topic by people far more qualified than I to comment on these topics, so I will not.

This past week (March 20-22), I had a full immersion into the Paris entrepreneurial scene. It was highly energizing and eye-opening since my last visit.

These types of experiences always generate interesting data points to refine my worldview of…

Brad Feld, Fred Wilson, and Bill Gurley have impressed me on how they write so often (and there are many others).

I have publicly applauded them and encouraged others to do the same but not done it myself.
