Something Interesting Happened Today

November 07, 2013. Something Interesting Happened Today. The last few months have been really tough. I have a new appreciation for those diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I cycle through mood swings, emotional peaks and valleys and everything in between - all in the time it takes to listen to Peter Frampton’s “Do You Feel Like We Do? Rdquo; Embarking on the startup journey was easy. Sustaining the mission is another story. This is all we want to know and we want to know as quickly as possible. We carv...

December 13, 2012. While you were sleeping, TruckyLove has been transformed, mostly just our brand name. We received feedback about our software that indicated to us that we were leaving the door shut for other awesome, locals who may want to use our platform. In response we discussed our findings with event planners, business owners and other vendors to gauge interest in using our software. The response was favorable! With this in mind we wanted to create a brand that was open. November 14, 2012. Novemb...

April 15, 2013. Going Back to Where It All Began - Greenville, SC. I openly admit, I love Greenville. As evidenced by my Facebook cover photo. So, off to Greenville. Might drive past the old apartment at North Slope, may even go in to Publix - won’t buy anything - just want to walk through the isles. Reminiscing . Well, maybe not, that actually sounds kind of dumb. Why would I do that when I can visit Barley’s, Chicora Alley and maybe 2-3 other favorite places; walk Falls Park. Tags: The Iron Yard. In ca...

60 Second 2012 Year In Review
http://firstpitch.tumblr.com/post/38891202709/60-second-2012-year-in-review
December 26, 2012. 60 Second 2012 Year In Review. Startup idea carried over from 2011. Developed product/vision and began prototyping in early 2012. Felt strongly about startup, decided to go “all-in.". Quit my job in May. Applied for and was accepted into the Iron Yard accelerator in Greenville, SC. Left my wife and two boys from June 7 until Sept 18 (saw them 3x for total of 8 days during this time). Pivoted with about 5 weeks left before our Demo Day on Sept. 13. My wife - my kids, and all of my famil...

March 12, 2013. Not talking about Silicon Valley. I’m talking about the valley between the peaks. Things are getting tough in startup land. We finished The Iron Yard in late September, launched a prototype (we used to call it a beta, but let’s be honest), learned a lot and felt like we finally found the sweet spot. The next milestone was to actually get the product to catch up to the business development. See, we have beta clients (some high profile) waiting. The “trap” is the toil between sp...Money The...

Moment of Confidence
http://firstpitch.tumblr.com/post/39443149924/moment-of-confidence
January 01, 2013. A 60 second year in review for 2012. I decided to spare you the long details of the ups and downs we experienced this year. To get to my point, we learned so much it is hard to share in a blog post. So instead I am going to jump to right now, today and discuss my moment of confidence. I am the CEO of the startup Locally. Advisors, colleagues and fellow entrepreneurs all helped to shape us in 2012. We expect incredible growth in 2013. Designed by Artur Kim.
