- Replying to @startingfromnixHowever, not to be fooled by misinformed confidence. You'll have just as many conversations with an articulate, confident person, only to find out later that they really had no idea what they are talking about.
- Calgary is the best city in North America to live - mountains 45 minutes away - Canada's fastest growing tech scene - most extensive urban trail system - housing 1/3 the price of Toronto, Vancouver and SF - 330 days of sunshine - no provincial sales tax - median age <40
- Replying to @thoggeTravelling for work is a vicious trap because you hate it when you're doing it but yearn for it when you're not.
- Replying to @MackendyBejin and @PeterMcCormackDo your wallet a favor and hit the grocery store or go to a Denny's
- Replying to @DailyLoudIn Canada where the Fraser (river) meets the Georgia Strait (ocean)
- Received $ today from my first ever exit on @AngelList!! Solid 15% return over 3 years. Like, 15% returned of the initial amount I invested. Am I doing this right?
- Replying to @jaiyagillAirbnbs are awesome because after you pay 2x the rate of a hotel you get to take out the trash, put everything in the laundry, and then cross your fingers that you don't get charged for damages you didn't create.
- Canada. This is Canada. Let's stop the madness. Less accelerators, more investors. Less government run ecosystems, more builder led community. Less wantrepreneuers, more doing real sh*t
- Replying to @harryhur5t and @harryhurstI like to call realtors, "bedroom counters". They let you know how many bedrooms and bathrooms there are, play a little bit of Mad Libs and then make $20,000. Good for you for being part of a seller-buyer transaction movement.
