You people are credulous and mad. Goodbye Western civilisation.


A great podcast for people interested in starting software businesses.


That's not as surprising as you may think. "Truth is not a complete defense against libel".

Imagine I contacted someones workplace and business partners and told them about a drug conviction that occurred 22 years ago. Or if I took a statement you make after a some drinks in the pub and stuck a print out on poles all around your business.

There are cases where suing someone for libel even if what they say is true doesn't seem demonstrably wrong.


Airport 2 km inland is flooded, amazing helicopter shots of the water sliding across the land.


This is the Tokyo International Airport?


I think he is referring to the sendai airport.


I listen to a lot of business and startup talks and this is probably the best I have heard. Rapid pace and inspirational.


You firstly need to realize that mood is like the weather, it's never permanent.

You have some real practical problems to deal with, but no more than lots of people, no more than lots of people who you admire have dealt with.

You need to talk to the organisations you owe money to, you need to negotiate a payment plan you can actually afford.

You need to listen to this interview with Rand Fishkin, http://mixergy.com/seomoz-rand-fishkin-interview/ in which he talks about being in debt.

Look yourself in the mirror, are you really exhausted and out of ideas ? I don't think so, I think you're just getting started.


Thanks! It took longer to accept the situation I'm in, than it will be to start doing new things, I hope.


It would have been epic if he had walked off stage with that routine...


I thought this short video was pretty insightful. I have been focusing on pitching the benefits of my product and not reducing the risk of adoption.

By talking about all the different way my product can help perhaps I was making it look like it would be a dramatic change to the customers workflow.

I am going to focus on the single most significant benefit we offer and suggest a "one week challenge", where the customer uses our product for a week and then we discuss the benefits.


For some work that requires light attention, having a startup podcast going in the background can be very inspiring.


Of course we know the real reason for this post is to beat Jason in the battle of the blogs :)


Doh! You got me!!! ;)
