This is awesome feedback, thank you! Yes, I was at one of the initial Make A Diff meetings and intend to get more involved. Let me check it RSVP for this weekend is still open, would be great to join in and see how I can help.

As someone that has been to more hackathons than I can remember, it'll be nice to switch gears and take this approach, especially when it matters the most.

Thanks!

Yeah, I think what we always need to remember is that we're in this for the long haul in most of what we do. Peter Thiel makes the point in his book Zero to One that the value of a startup is realized years or decades in the future, and not right away. Great book. Definitely not an endorsement of Thiel himself. I feel I need to say that every time I bring up that book. 😊

I think it's important to be steady and committed to projects even if that means less frenzied excitement on the initial push.
