    My 2 (Very Different) Mentors

    Great bootstrapping thread - how to create money.

    HOT! 
    I was recently wondering how morally-correct this is. A friend of mine does this and I tagged along for one of his trips to pick up an item. The guy selling the TV was hurting for money and I couldn't help but feel bad for the guy as my friend talked him down in price even more. If preying on...

    Traffic cams....

    OFF-TOPIC 
    6 months ago my roommate and I got one of these tickets, but instead of running a red light it got us for speeding. My roommate's family keeps an attorney on retainer, and he had been researching this topic and told us to simply not pay it because the city can do nothing but threaten you to try...

    Is going to college a waste of time?

    HOT! 
    I thought it was an interesting video with a very powerful message. In the wake of all of the student debt, standardized testing, skyrocketing "ADHD" prescriptions, higher standards, etc, we need to start challenging the existing beliefs of education. Since I started my college career, I never...

    Thoughts on using a CMS instead of building my site?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I recently started my first e-commerce venture, and have it set up with Drupal. So far we haven't had any problems with it, and I believe the CMS way is the way to go--at least up until a certain point. Why throw more money and time in starting up than you need to? Drupal is supposed to be...

    Thoughts on adding a partner??

    Thanks for the info guys. Sharky, when you say "have a vesting schedule so that his equity ownership does not fully vest until some defined period of time in the future, such as 2 to 4 years," does that mean at the end of 2 to 4 years he is no longer a partner? Now I have one more question. Is...

    Thoughts on adding a partner??

    What does everyone think of adding a partner and giving away sole ownership of a company? When I first started my startup I refused to take on a partner. However, I can no longer afford the programmer that I am working with as my startup is an online venture. He is genuinely interested in my...
