SOLO FOUNDER: Idea to Launch, FAST for solo founders.

December 19, 2022 • 6 mins
What's up, everyone?  TLDR: idea to launch course I've been sharing my experience with building Sanomind since I started it. I always shied away from courses because they felt scammish to me. But I thought I had real-world experience that I wanted to put in an easily digestible format for others.  I created a course on how to go from an idea in your head to a fully functional product. There are 2 files in the course. Presentation...

SOLO FOUNDER: Why You Shouldn't Quit Your Start-up, Yet

September 20, 2022 • 6 mins
It's been 1 year and 9 months since I've released an episode. I had to take a step back as I didn't have much to say or add in value. I've also been struggling to get the Sanomind mind web app designed and developed to something we can be semi-proud of. We did that. Sanomind is finally live the way I envisioned it. We are not there yet in terms of design, colors, brand, and features, but we have a SOLID base. I wouldn't have gotten...

SOLO FOUNDER: Continue With Forward Movement

September 1, 2020 • 28 mins
Being ambitious is great. Being overly ambitious while unrealistic is not so great. Learning how to be ambitious while being realistic is proving to be interesting. We had deadlines and launch dates. It's been a long and wild run with ups, downs, setbacks and lots of learnings. Things are happening at a weird pace, but forward movement is key. This episode was recorded about 4 weeks ago. A lot has happened since. All current happe...

SOLO FOUNDER: Forgiving, forgetting, and moving on. A personal story.

June 4, 2020 • 83 mins
MY co-founder Ed and I have been thinking of something to say to show our support for our Black Brothers and Sisters. We didn't want to say something generic or copy and paste the same old corporate "solidarity" posts. To us, all that comes off fake. In thinking about what happened to George Floyd and all the other Blacks people killed by cops, we couldn't find words that would suffice. Then we thought we'd share our story to expre...

SOLO FOUNDER: Real Founders, Real Stories Introduction

October 22, 2019 • 2 mins
For the last 4 weeks, I've been in an accelerator that brought 100 smart people together to ultimately partner up and become co-founders. It's a very interesting model. One I've had in mind for some time now. I've struggled with finding the right co-founder. I longed for the day someone would have the balls to create an accelerator that introduces potential co-founders. That time finally came. It's called Antler. https://www.antler...
