I was a bad boss. šŸ˜ž It’s true. āœ–ļøI lost great team members. āœ–ļøI didn’t realize everyone isn’t driven by the same things. āœ–ļøI made a ton of mistakes. In my defense, I was 23 and had never been responsible for a team before. I was an entrepreneur - not a manager. My heart was in the right place but I didn’t know HOW to be a good boss. Contrary to what most people believe, good leadership ISN’T innate. It is LEARNED. Thankfully, I learned. āœ”ļøI mended relationships with my team members. āœ”ļø I started to understand - and honor - that not everyone wants the same things. āœ”ļøI started to listen. āœ”ļøI showed my appreciation rather than assumed it was a given. āœ”ļøI put the WE before ME. To every leader out there - it is YOUR job to make sure you are learning, growing, and being an inspiration to your team. You work for them, not the other way around. If you have issues, your team has issues. It is YOUR job to become a better leader every single day. You owe your team that because everyday they show up to fulfill YOUR vision. It’s the least you can do. …see more

ā€œOut of roughly 30,000 pitches reviewed for each season, only about 150 make it to the "Shark Tank" set for June and September tapings, and just 88 of those make it on TV.ā€ Great feature on everything that goes into an episode of Shark Tank!

We often hear about the carbon footprint of our diets, but not about the water scarcity footprint. Given the food system accounts for around 70% of global freshwater use, this is a really interesting study: https://lnkd.in/dxWufke #ReadByRichard …see more

Tom Goodwin
Co-Founder of ALL WE HAVE IS NOW
Can we stop calling companies tech companies now? If you make great pizza and have a website, you are a pizza company not a tech company. If you make amazing shoes helped by 3D printers, you are still not a tech company. If you make all your money from selling advertising you are a media company, regardless of the technology you use. You are probably not a "tech company that happens to sell coffee". Companies now operate in what's best called "the modern world". Using digital stuff is like using electricity, it's just required for 2017. So unless you make money from making technology, please accept "being a tech company" is silly. It's great rhetoric, but it's now empty and nothing to boast about. …see more
