What cool things - art, furniture, books - inspire

What cool things - art, furniture, books - inspire you? I live in Florida, and I like furniture and art that reminds of the laidback, sunny lifestyle here. I like to keep things around me that remind me to not take everything too seriously.

For me, adversity isn't just the best teacher, it's a friend. In my interview with Success Magazine's Matt Crossman, I share how the lessons I've learned from traversing 20,000 ft volcanoes have made me more successful in the board room, and vice-versa. Here's why the path you're scared of is the one you should take and how to enjoy the ride not despite the obstacles you face, but because of them. Link in bio.

As an angel investor, I work closely with early-stage startups as they move through the rounds of funding. Not being prepared for each round can hold a startup back—here’s everything you should know about funding, from pre-seed all the way to Series A, B, and C, and why it’s advantageous to work with angel investors in the early stages.

Investment Spotlight: Wrapify. This MacDonald Vent

Investment Spotlight: Wrapify. This MacDonald Ventures investment caught the eye of the San Diego Business Journal for their impressive growth after experiencing obstacles during the pandemic. Wrapify is a great example of how you can be revolutionary within an existing (or even crowded) space. Wrapping cars with ads is nothing new, but being able to measure, optimize and retarget those ads to drive cross-channel performance - that’s an entirely different, and much more compelling, story for an investor. I can’t wait to see what comes from their expanded SaaS offering. Link in bio.

Learning something new can feel uncomfortable. Whe

Learning something new can feel uncomfortable. When my son was learning to kitesurf, I overheard his instructor coaching him: “hold on, but not too tight, steer lightly, softly let go." I hear myself guiding entrepreneurs in the same way. As a founder, holding on too tightly and trying to control every decision or action can spin you and your company out of control and take you on a wild, even fatal, ride. Learn to delegate, let go and master the skill of leading vs. just managing. There's no shortcut to mastering a skill; you have to fall, get back up (repeatedly), and listen to the experienced guides who have gone before you. If you do let go and open your mind to learning the process, you might actually enjoy the ride, and live to tell about it.

Founders who get turned down by angel investors an

Founders who get turned down by angel investors and VCs often complain that the investor “didn’t get it.” Is that true? Did an experienced investor, who sees hundreds of pitches a year in your industry, really not “get” you or your idea? Maybe, but probably not. Typically investors are seeing red flags that you may be missing because you’re too close. Instead of getting frustrated or defensive, take a step back and get curious. Are you engaging paying customers? Have you catalyzed a user base? Do you have a beta product or the ability to demonstrate your product clearly? Maybe it’s not the investor - it’s the product - and investors are seeing something you aren’t.

For me, travel isn’t a break, or an escape, it’s a strategic investment. I make an intentional effort to incorporate opportunities for travel and personal growth into my life. I never regret the time I spend exploring this world. Have you traveled somewhere that has made a permanent impression on you?
