So — I did it
After hosting 20 big tech events over the past few years - I finally hosted my first fitness event - and it went SO WELL
Couldn’t be happier with the turnout and the support from my amazing friends
I got a quote from one of the gyms that participated saying it

Again, to everyone who doesn’t understand.
IHOP went viral on the internet for a week straight.
-Everyone was tweeting about IHOB
-it cost them ZERO marketing dollars
-they never actually changed their signs
This is genius marketing.

Our app has been live on the app store for over a year now
Apple randomly stopped this last update of our app because we don't say "you can pair the Apple Health App" in our description. Our description hasn't changed for the last 10+ updates

Most people don’t know this but, if you want to see Arnold Schwarzenegger, just go to Golds Gym in Venice Beach.

said at

that cities should use tunnels for deliveries
I think it's time Garrett sends another email 👀
When
@pipedream_labs
was barely a concept, I emailed
@mcuban
about it and he hit me back in 30 minutes with "It's not crazy".
As a kid who grew up in Dallas, cannot explain how much that meant 💙.
The fact that he took the time to say this shows exactly what kind of guy he is.

Pipedream and I have teamed up. We’re building a new podcast studio
A funny idea we had was to make up a bunch of fake startup-y book titles like “lights, camera, traction” or “how to lose a VC in 10 days” and put them on the bookshelf in the background
Send your ideas in lol

5 years ago today I was working at a dead-end restaurant in Spokane, WA…I had an idea for my startup but was so isolated from the world that I didn’t even know what “tech” was.
Thankfully, I made the rash decision to move to Los Angeles and start building my company.
