We're back from Germany after treatment #3 and I'm feeling good! Also, last night @SamanthaTwenty and I were honored with the “Fighter of the year” award from Team Ream Foundation at the Penn State Men’s Basketball game. Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers!

Question from a student recently: "Where do you look for inspiration?" Answer: I've never actively searched for inspiration. Ex. I recently happened upon an interview with Renato Cascaro (incredible film poster artist). Inspiration happens when you aren't actively looking for it.

This Friday @SamanthaTwenty and I head to Tübingen, Germany (our first time there) where we will visit the incredible people at CeGat. We need some fun things to do besides the the medical treatments. Any suggestions about what @SamanthaTwenty and I can do while we're there?

3. Stay lean (with teams). Avoid bloat. Adding more people doesn't necessarily mean improved (or even equal) efficiency. Often times it means teams become less efficient.

2. Never fall in love with an idea. Be prepared to pivot. It's okay to acknowledge failures. What worked? What can be improved? Improve the product or the experience. Continue to iterate and test.

1. Get the right people on the boat. Then figure out where to go. Companies aren't built by a single person. Make sure you surround yourself with people that are passionate, smart, and have work ethic.

I've had the opportunity to speak on some incredible podcasts recently. They allowed me to connect with some amazing people @jus10castelli @decker_kp. Recently I was asked "what makes a start up successful"? Here are four key takeaways that worked for us:

I'll be headed to Germany to begin immunotherapy treatment with CeGat in a few short weeks. Cool side note: the way you pronounce Tübingen, (the town in Germany where CeGat is located) is pronounced “TO BEGIN”. I'll take that as a great sign.
