"I'll Try" "I can't promise" "I'm not sure what my boss will say about that" "That's not possible" "We can't do that" "It's against policy" "I can't make someone else do their job" Managers avoid accountability and often believe they are powerless to make an impact in the world. Leaders however, seek out to be… Continue reading How To Tell When You’re Speaking To A Manager
What You’re Not Told
Businesses that were created five years ago faced a different set of challenges than the challenges they would have faced today. They also would have dealt with a market place which looks very different than today. That's not to say it's easier or harder today. It's just different. I think most people would be surprised… Continue reading What You’re Not Told
“Hey….What Languages Is Your App Written In?! What Should My App Use???” Here’s The Definitive Answer!
Entrepreneurs often discuss this topic ad nauseam. It's often a tell that the entrepreneur in question has no idea about tech and is just trying to sound well-informed.

Everyone is one Google search away from getting the information that they need, to start doing work that matters. What is unfortunate though, is that lot of information isn't a Google search away. There's a lot of stuff in business that people don't write or talk about. When I meet other entrepreneurs, we talk about… Continue reading Welcome To Entrepreneurship
Ignorance Is Strength
I was reading some George Orwell and I came across this quote: "In our society, those who have the best knowledge of what is happening are also those who are furthest from seeing the world as it is. In general, the greater the understanding, the greater the delusion; the more intelligent, the less sane." These… Continue reading Ignorance Is Strength
