This is amazing, I just bookmarked the site for future use.

"The Design of Everyday Things", this was great for product development, "Getting Things Done", helped me organize my work, "Think and Grow Rich", classic motivation book that help get me started "The Cold Start Problem", helpful for network effect companies.

Rock climbing, yoga, and daily meditation are very useful for me.

I meditate for 10 minutes in the morning before starting anything. It warms up the "focus" muscles of the mind helping me concentrate on whats important throughout the day.

This sounds like a great idea. I would love to test it out.

We are building a network of package receiving lockboxes to protect and organize peoples home deliveries. We have learned that building a physical product adds many interesting challenges to a project.

I also really like web3 wallet connect logins.

The Cold Start Problem by Andrew Chen talks about this issue. He calls it Flintstoning and shows how it is a critical part of most successful startups. The alternative is to build out complex automated processes before you know something is useful, which runs a high risk of wasting recourses.

I imagine this is because many people don’t need law help very often, but when they do there are large consequences and it is worth paying for an expert. Fintech is the opposite, people use money many times a day and rarely would any issues with the transaction pose large consequences. Also, accounting is pretty well suited to be done with computers.

Excellent idea, team building is more challenging with remote work and tools like this are needed. I can’t wait to see what other mixers you have coming out.

My team is fully remote and located all over the us. Once a week we use Gather https://app.gather.town/app for our end of week video meeting. I have found having the meeting around the roof top fire, makes things more relaxed.

I recently finished a book called "Getting Things Done" by David Allen. My number one takeaway was that you can reduce stress and improve efficiency by build processes that remove the need to remember. Stress can be caused by keeping too many tasks stored in memory, making you always wonder what you are forgetting and requiring you to continually think about work tasks when your not working...

Last mile delivery has many issues, quality of life for the carriers, in and outside of cities is a very real problem and just the beginning. I imagine this is a big motivator for getting droid / drone delivery systems working. It could solve all the problems you just mentioned. However, the industry is moving much slower than expected for obvious reasons.

My fist company was a motivational website encouraging people to post experiences of kindness. It was called I Am Awesome and generated money form T-shirt and other swag sales. The idea come to me ofter a stretch of traveling where I was amazed with the kindness I received from strangers. In the end it was not a financial success, but it did lay the groundwork for my future projects to be...

Hard to answer, depend on the readers mindset. Some have been quite handy as long as you read them with the intent of taking action. If reading to read, these books do little for you.

Hey Misha, Excellent idea. Two big goals for your company this week: -get the companies website to a point where we can start getting feedback on style and content. -Get our survey posted and get responses. Come Friday I'll let you know how it's going.
