In early-stage startups, speed is everything. But speed without intention becomes noise.
The real unlock is creating a team culture where pivoting is normal, not a crisis.
A place where shifting gears is a sign of awareness, not inconsistency.

Today we had four new clients come in that mentioned meeting us at an event and then attending a webinar.
The customer journey is not linear. It takes time to build a relationship and trust.

No matter what your title says, if you work at a startup, you’re part of the build.
Engineering, ops, marketing, sales — every function contributes to the product.
Not just the code you ship, but the trust you create.

Austin doesn’t just welcome you—it invites you in.
That’s what true community looks like. Not a spotlight, but a circle.
It’s what every startup ecosystem needs more of: people who hold the door open and say, “Come build with us.”

A few takeaways from Austin Tech Week and 3 days of nonstop conversations:
1. Great ideas don’t wait for permission
2. Community compounds. The more you share, the more opportunities
3. Momentum matters. Even small wins.
4. Founders feed founders. Sharing your story helps others move forward.

Austin has this way of reminding you that innovation isn’t sterile—it’s sweaty, soulful, and set to music.
Everywhere you look, someone’s building something bold. Murals, music, food trucks, founders.
It’s a city that creates.

Before we can dip our toes back into compassion, we have to let ourselves grieve — to sit with the anger, the disappointment, the ache of what could’ve been.
Only then can love find its way back in.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how change rarely feels like growth when you’re in the middle of it.
It feels like loss.
Like chaos.
Like being the riverbank that’s reshaped by the current — only later realizing it’s made room for something new to flow through.

Empowering the team to do their best work means the right tools, alignment—and people.
Sometimes “great talent” comes at the expense of the team.
You try to make it work, but everyone sees it.
When bad behavior stays, good people leave.

Shifts in culture don’t always lead to cleaner skies; however, we can influence the direction.
Sometimes this looks like walking your neighbor’s dog.
Buying bread from the local baker. Carrying someone else’s weight for a block or two.
Small acts, radical love.

The world will always flood us with noise. But values are our compass.
Justice.
Compassion.
Courage.
Hold fast to them, even when the storm is loud.

This country is more than politics.
It’s people who wake up each day to care for families, neighbors, and communities.
Volunteers, caregivers, protectors, voices for the voiceless.
That is worth leaning into with love.

If you’re in the Northwest—dip a toe in the river, watch the salmon climb upstream.
In the desert—look for rainbows after the storm.
Wherever you are, let nature remind you: resilience is everywhere.

Joy isn’t naïve—it’s resistance. In the face of chaos, take a walk, notice the light on the water, share a laugh with your neighbor. These small acts remind us: the world is still turning, and beauty still exists.

Founders, here’s a cheat code:
Before asking “How do we get more leads?”
Ask “How do we get more value out of the relationships we already have?”
That shift can save you time, budget, and credibility.

Startups, how much messaging clarity actually reaches beyond sales?
If eng, ops, and marketers all understand:
• What the customer values
• Why deals close (or don’t)
• How you stand out
you’ve just multiplied your sales force without adding headcount

But what about the humans already in your store, inbox, or database?
👉 Ask for their feedback.
👉 Send them something useful without gating it.
👉 Build trust through consistency, not just campaigns.
