The Startup Diet: How I Lost 35 Pounds While Working Overtime
I recently decided to change the way I was taking care of my body. It should be no surprise that I am always on my computer – at least 12-15 hours per day.

Why I Quit A Six Figure Job
I had the best job in the world. My immediate team of ten people were all world class, and everyday I was able to work on hard and interesting challenges with them.

What A CEO Does
I am posting this as a MBA Mondays post. But I did not learn this little lesson at business school. I learned it from a very experienced venture capitalist early in my post-MBA career. I was working on a CEO search for one of our struggling portfolio comapnies. We had a bunch of them. I […]
