When Your New Employee Doesn't Show Up!
Please avoid doing this -- trust me, it just kills your reputation.
Recently, my friend was expecting to go to work and train her new employee.
Then this happened β we were both shocked! ππ±
The person never showed up!
Okay, some quick backstory:
My friend hired someone to fill a general administrative role in her office.
From what she told me after, the person seemed like a...

This Smarmy Tactic Kills Your Sales & Networking π±
Last week, a close friend of mine shared that he'd deleted numerous emails to him, all with the subject line "Re:" -- and all from people with whom he'd never had a prior conversation.
Doing this will fuck up your networking. π
Why?
Because not only is my good friend a top sales expert and influencer on LinkedIn, but because THIS DOESN'T WORK.
You don't build expansive networks...

One of the BIGGEST Things Founders Mess Up On π
You're ready to launch your product (or you will be soon), so naturally your next tactic is to start trying to drum up a little buzz. But it's slow, because you haven't built out the necessary community or support network beforehand. So you start "networking."
Only it isn't really networking because what you're actually doing is *selling.* (Or trying to, anyway). And this is where a LOT...

Huge congrats to @laceykesler on this! We've long had the convo about the massive potential of supporting women in no-code and tech. The amount of talent here is incredible and I'm stoked to see this off the ground! ππ

How long before launch do you start building your network & community?
This is a question I've become obsessed with. Mostly because I see so many founders make it harder for themselves than they need to. π€
I partly notice this because I get a ton of inbound cold DM's asking if I'll help support someone's launch. And I love to be supportive, but a better strategy would be to hook me on your mission before asking for anything. π
It bums me out because I hate...

Great launch here @mubashariqbal! π I'll be really interested to see how people respond to this as the day and week moves on. π
Was happy to take it for a test drive yesterday and hopefully some of the minor bugs got worked out -- seems to be working better now! I'll take it for another spin later after some holiday family time.
Looking forward to our chat next week and let's see where...

So excited to see this hunted today -- great post Kevin!
@sarahdjohnston is one of my good friends from LinkedIn and I was super excited to see her launch this new tool a few weeks ago on Twitter with her partners @adrienne_tom and @virginia_franco. π

I was introduced to @arvidkahl's writing and content towards the end of last year and have to say he's been such a positive addition to my network. So much of what Arvid talks about is not only compelling to entrepreneurs, but supportive of some of the most challenging phases of building and running successful ventures. ππ

Super cool idea and massive congrats to my friends @nikkielizdemere and Claudiu (@reeviewapp) on an amazing launch! π
This is definitely something that I can see lots of retailers and companies using, particularly as we begin to dig deeper into the integration of video and retail. Will be interesting to see how this evolves long-term -- of particular note that I'll be keeping an eye on is how...

Super excited to see Copy.ai posted to PH and the insane amount of positive feedback it seems to be getting. I've had great Twitter chats with @paulyacoubian on and off for the last couple of months and what intrigues so much about the product is how malleable it is, useful to novice writers as well as to professional branders. He and @chris_lu have really struck on something unique in the...

I'm super excited to be working with @mubashariqbal on this project!
Voting is such an important part of our civic responsibility, and as a history major, I've spent long hours studying how increased engagement can help to retain and progress our democracy and sense of collective improvement. π³οΈ

I love the quirkiness of these ideas lol -- reminds me of @whit_anderson did with RandomPizza. The question becomes, what other hilarious food products can we do this with? I think @thisiskp_ will get a kick out of this too.

@sarahcpr, this is a great build! Definitely something I could see myself using (for snarky purposes, if nothing else lol). Love the simplicity and tongue-in-cheek humor behind this haha.

Finally getting around to writing my PH comment on this; first, great hunt @nickabouzeid!
Second, awesome build here from the Panda team -- @danielsinger, @Gabriel__Lewis, @Brotractor, & @TheMarcAMartin π€
It's been exciting to see Panda evolve mostly from the outside through @Nivo0o0's tweets, and though the AR/VR area is a bit outside my realm of expertise, this is certainly something...

I highly recommend that anyone who hasn't yet heard @Backstage_Cap's @BootstrappedVC podcast take some time and check it out. @ArlanWasHere sets an extremely conversational and relatable tone, something which I think benefits the material immensely. Also, @bryanlanders' production on it is pretty awesome π
