I felt myself getting sick yesterday and went to bed with and woke up with a fever. Yay for the weekend. To prevent the normal family domino effect, I went to CityMD to see if I had the flu and get some drugs, if needed, to feel better. I’d previously written about urgent care centers…

We are interviewing a lot at CB Insights these days. And one of the key things I hammer on now is references. So assuming the team likes you, we ask for references. This used to be a useless formality. But now I’d say 1 of 3 candidates don’t pass the reference phase. If you cannot…

If you work for a big company and are bored enough to have found my blog, I’m about to change your life. This article on how to look smart in meetings is the key to your success. Big companies, most at least, require things like “executive presence” to move up the ladder. This article will…

Neil Patel is a content marketer who I’ve learned a lot from. He writes killer long-form content about marketing that is insanely crazy valuable. So when he publishes something, I read it. He wrote a post about how a picture in a Ferrari made him $1 million. It’s a click-bait’y as hell headline and I…

Last Sunday, it was raining and nasty so we went to the Atlantic Center in Brooklyn to Chuck E. Cheese so Z could play games and win tickets to redeem for amazing prizes (sarcasm).  Afterwards, we went to lunch and started playing 20 questions.  20 questions consists of thinking of something and the other person(s)…

Matt Wong who is a member of our research team was on Ali Velshi’s financial news show on Al Jazeera TV last Friday. I don’t think Matt expected to be on TV 1.5 years after graduating. I can’t say I would have expected it either, but when they called, I was busy with client meetings,…

Renee DiRasta had a good post talking about conflicting data about seed activity. I don’t think some of her assertions about the data sources being similar for data providers are that accurate which I talked about on Twitter (see below). I also commented on her post that the whole seed deals are falling narrative is…

Today, I approved and responded to 3 comments on blog posts I’d written. These were left by 3 smart folks – Bobby Mulley, John Gannon and Juhi Heda.  I was pretty siked that there is now proof that 3 people have read my blog. Earlier this week, a candidate who came in for a job…
