ceo: Hustle, Not Muscle: The Key to Lifelong Success
- 12/28/12 02:02 PM
Has anyone with true hustle ever failed? Have ever you met or known anyone who hustled and did not achieve their goals? Me neither. I was recently asked to speak on a panel to MBA's from the University of Utah talking about Seattle, technology and entrepreneurship. We had a GREAT panel of speakers: Kevin Nakao of MeritShare, WhitePages, RealNetworks; Will O'Brien from Big Fish Games & TrialPay; Edward Yim from ClassifiedAds and Blue Moon Ventures, and Meredith Turner from PitchBook and WhitePages.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words and well wishes on my 39th birthday. Many of you out there are thinking, "This guy is just a baby." Others are thinking, "I can't believe he is that old." Yes, that is because 39 is smack in the middle of middle age. I had a great birthday this weekend and today with my family friends. On Saturday, we went to Black Bottle Bellevue and then went to see the "Life of Pi" in 3-D. Stunning movie. I definitely recommend it.

Hi Everyone, I am very happy to write this blog post! Last week, we finished the upgrade of ActiveRain.com to the latest software platform (Ruby on Rails 2.3.14) which should enable us to develop on ActiveRain much faster than previously. This is the end of three month project. We hit a bump near the end with site performance, but now ActiveRain is now more stable and faster than it was.

With the software upgrade, behind us, we are rolling out some MAJOR changes to ActiveRain.com. … (167 comments)

Everyone, I hope everyone had a GREAT week and has amazing plans for the weekend. I have actually had a great week. I have made some amazing new friends, spoke to amazing people (Greg, Donna, Craig, David, Karen, Tammy, Katerina, Mimi, Maureen, Todd, and many others), AND I am more energized by ActiveRain than ever before. It's a beautiful day in Seattle. It feels like summer is around the corner, which is a big deal in Seattle. As I mentioned in my blog post last Friday, improving the stability of our technology and communication about our technology here at ActiveRain are jobs … (122 comments)
