People often ask how I decide what companies to invest in, and where I get the conviction to actually put money in.

In thinking about it, most of my investments have come from decades of thoughts about a specific problem that a company is solving.

Shortly after learning more about the venture capital space and (making my first angel investment), I thought for sure that I’d want to start my own fund. I was practicing patience though. I just started my journey, so I’d have to be out of my mind to think I’ve earned the right to manage other people’s money. Patience is something that I am good at though: I am a long-term-focused person in everything I do. So all I have to do right now is focus on deriving happiness from my own angel investments.

I've been running a solo business for over a decade (since 2010). Here's how revenue grew from year-to-year, and how I spent my time, and the many pivots that happened.

Started my "at-home" Barista Journey on April 21st. Here's where I'm at in just under 3 short months of making two single-shot 8oz latte's per day (comes out to about 150 attempts). ☕

We talked about Automation (Zapier, Asana, automation, delegation, data leak...)

We discuss the pivots it took to get into the space that we're in now, and what it’s like being a business owner in this rapidly evolving, semi-enigmatic niche of workflow design.
