Yeah, I didn't get that either. It seemed to imply that Instructure was about to get their ass handed to them as Napoleon did on his ill fated venture. Seemed contrary to the tone of his post supporting the startup.

I don't anything about that industry but I would assume that the trucking industry already has pretty advanced fleet tracking & management, do they not? If I'm a Walmart or a Best Buy I'd make it a priority to know exactly where all my

I agree with the importance of delegating, but perhaps the work-at-home, not getting any questions after two months was also related to a major employee problem Derek mentioned somewhere in another post: employees began to feel as if he was

I hear guys talk about the marriage effect all the time but I suspect the increased attention they get from women isn't what you think it is. As a married man, you're now domesticated. Imagine going to the park and seeing a golden retrieve
