    Four simple rules for making killer pitch decks: 1) Be simple, not precise - no one reads the 5th bullet 2) Show, don't tell - visualize everything 3) Say what you mean - State your argument clearly on every slide 4) Tell a story - think campfire, not conference room

    Home office is feeling cozy today I converted a 1940s garage / shed into my man-cave / office for ~$12k Met two Venezuelan refugees outside a Walmart and we knocked it out together

    Should you pick up friends from the airport? I feel like at some point of age/money it becomes rude to ask for airport pickups. Or am I being an a**hole?

    My intern will sell $200k of fireworks in 2 weeks (he owns a stand in Texas) The economics & customers are crazy: 1) Customer pulled a gun and said he'd kill him if the fireworks weren't good. He upsold the guy. "If you want a good show, buy this too" 🧵👇

    I make 8x more money than my wife. But the bank ignored ALL my income for our mortgage. Apparently Banks read “business owner” as “unemployed liar” Am I alone, or is getting a mortgage as a founder/SMB owner miserable?

    My dad's parenting style was... unique. Was he a genius or a menace? Examples: > When I won an xbox, he made me sell it and buy a gun. I was 11 and very happy with the trade. (his thinking: video games bad, guns fine) More 👇

    Single best thing I learned as a consultant at BCG: Nobody knows what they're doing. Not CEOs. Not partners. Not boards. Idiots all the way up. As an idiot myself, I find that deeply comforting.

    My favorite financing strategy: To fund an expansion, an Austin brewery sold custom glass mugs that entitle the owner to one free beer or coffee a day. $1,000 each. They sold hundreds. Best part? They probably dramatically increased loyalty too.

    I want to know when my employees are just thinking about leaving. Why? So I can help them find their next job. I’ll shop their resumes around. Make calls. Result? 1) they’re happy 2) my friends who hire them are happy 3) I have tons of time to backfill Win-win-win

    Forgot to get your wife a Valentine’s Day present? I did too. But I keep a stash of presents in a secret box in the attic. Dug out a monogrammed robe I bought 9 months ago. She loves it. Anytime she says she likes something, I immediately buy it and put it in the box.

    I wanted to go to Duke for college. He bribed me with a new F-150 to go to Davidson, where I'd gotten a scholarship. $22k truck saved him $250k

    The stand has been in the same family for 40 years. The founder was a teenager. Now he's probably 50 and has built and sold many companies. But he kept the fireworks stand so his kids and their friends can run it each year and learn how to run a business.
