One that I'm watching a lot that I know a lot of other people are too is Stuart Butterfield over at Slack.

I think the internal memo that he published to his team that's now on Medium is like a modern classic for startup product development and how to set a vision for your company.

Yeah, there is.

Well, it's a company called Assistant2.

So assistant.to.

It's a Chrome extension, takes the back and forth out of scheduling meetings.

So you basically insert your calendar availability, your customer or prospect chooses a time, and it automatically adds it to both your calendars.

And full disclosure, we liked it so much that we bought it last year.

No, yeah, we acquired them already about nine months ago.

We added the functionality into Sears Insight.

It's one of our most popular features.

Interesting.

I'm married.

I've got two little ones, four-year-old and a six-year-old.

No, I try not to.

No, I mean, I like to try to max out the day.

For me, a great schedule is if I get up at four, I can usually get three hours in, get the kiddos up, get them ready for school, get into work, work the workday, and then put in a couple hours after they go to sleep at about eight.

So from about eight to 10, eight to 11.

So if I can knock out five, six hours of sleep in between, then that's a great day.

You know, I think one of the big things I would, I would tell myself is to start a company, a new company as soon as possible, uh, for the reason that you, you do learn by doing.
