I was hoping for more about music in the article. I have played electric bass and guitar for a long time. It did't take long to realize that you'll find a a few patterns: - Players have tendencies that they repeat - Genres have ve

I was around as well and while tech financing is more sophisticated and mainstream, it feels like a similar cliff in regards to valuations - what are some of the nuances you see that separate these too time periods?

I’ve lived in 5 states and two countries. I’ve been to 10 other countries. I’ve now moved back to SW Wisconsin 4-5 times and will not leave again. I am very far left and not religious. I do not like sportsball. The best friendships I’ve mad

I was in Canada before, during and after recreational legalization. Nothing bad happened, in fact, a lot of organized crime lost a revenue stream. Now I live in Wisconsin and I’m amazed that the state gives away free tax money to three of i

I do, only I've spent a lot of time the last 15 years thinking objectively about my strengths and weaknesses. I am so "lazy" that I work hard nearly every day. Let me explain. 1. Big tasks are stressful because, well, they&#x

I had to quit my job as president of a company and start a consulting practice to do this (to varying degree of success, freedom requires constant vigilance). Your mileage may vary.

That kind of work avoidance sounds like a lot of work. Advice would be to try to find a job or role doing something you’re interested it. A lot of the subject matter of my work is not that interesting to me, and the politics and lack of any

You're not wrong, but a well run company would have cost targets for a project, and the longer you are paying people (salary or not) to work on something, the more it costs and your staff aren't working on the next thing. So now i

For me it's less about melody and harmony than it is about rhythm, I often need to see or notate a syncopated rhythm in order to "get" it. Though that might just mean I haven't internalized a lot of syncopated rhythms.
