The last day to register for the Hangry book club is TOMORROW! Book club starts Monday!.

Got to be a guest on the @seed2growth pod hosted by @ctemp w/ Christ Gladwin. We dive into topics like customer acquisition, hiring approaches, and share our "just start" and "stay in business" philosophies. #hangry #startups #entrepreneurship.

The crew launches from Detroit towards their final destination: Chicago. The crew encounters a squall line & as they cross the lakes there are nothing but happy faces!. #sailboat #adventure #personalvision #chicago #detroit #pommesfrites.

The reality is that businesses change the environments they operate in. They are huge levers for social change. Recognize that reality early & be intentional about how & what you want that to look like. #startups #businessethics #socialchange #beintentional

Blog post with some extra pictures:

Leaving Montreal, the crew launches into the St. Lawrence Seaway System. The system is made up of 15 locks that allow ships to transit between Montreal and Lake Erie. #sailboat #stlawrenceseaway #detroit #locks.

2 notes from my bike trip. 1. People are really nice in every town across the country. 2. Some have vibrant downtowns while others have dead ones with a major interstate Walmart, Applebees, etc. The difference is the people and how they cared for their town. #smalltowns #america

I always enjoy my conversations with @FrankGruber. My 2nd time on @StartupofYear, recorded at @sxsw. We touched on exiting Grubhub and how that led me to create a social impact startup @heyfixer. #hangry #startups #homemaintenance #homerepairs.

REVIEW FRIDAY: Kate D gave this review of Hangry. An easy read that’s more than a business advice book. If you are looking for an easy read about finding balance in the startup life, snag your copy today. #hangry #startups #businessmemoir #advice

The only competitive differentiator that a business has is a culture of innovation. The solution to your obstacles that you find someone can always copy. There's no permanent competitive differentiator. So the only one that really works is innovation. #innovation #competition

Today’s #tbt is from this appearance on the Follow Your Different podcast with @lochhead. We talk about how necessity brings innovation & the need to create great content for your business. #podcastinterview #followyourdifferent #business #innovation.

At GrubHub, we made mistakes. When we introduced T/O only restaurants it turned out to be a distraction. What did we learn? Focus is important. By dividing our energy we couldn't deliver the same level of excellence to our customers. #businesslessons #focusonwhatmatters #startups

I loved this conversation with @BetsyZEO at the @CrainsChicago Fast50 event last week. Grateful for the opportunity to share my lessons with others. #startups #chicago.

Cpt. Mike & crew Keith, Guy & Brian set sail from #bermuda to #rhodeisland. After beginning our travels, we came across some intense storms that leave us feeling exhausted as we made our arrival. #sailboat #adventure #personalvision.

This week’s #tbt is when I was on this episode of @byb. Steve & I touch on the arrogance/humility every founder needs, the power of starting, & finding exceptional mentors. #BecomingYourBest #Entrepreneurship #juststart #mentors.
