There are two types of people you can work with:

- Those that understand when you have to re-schedule things often because of your family/kids

- Those that secretly roll their eyes at you

I'd like to build a company and work with only people in the first bucket.

We're hiring again at Exit Five. We decided to invest now and pull forward two hires we wanted to make later in the year because of the momentum we have right now.

May is shaping up to be our strongest month yet:

1. Most new trials in a single month (people joining our

May is shaping up to be our best month (ever) with Exit Five.

→  Most new trials in a single month (people joining our community)
→  Lowest revenue churn for a single month too

That's always a good combination.

I didn't realize how much juice I would get from building a team and working with people again.

We started this year with one person (me) and we'll soon have a team of five building Exit Five.

Shared goals, more creativity, better ideas. It's awesome.

Alright, I did my Murph this morning.

If you don’t know Murph is:

1 mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 squats
1 mile run

My time was 54:56 - which is 16 minutes slower than Zuck, who put up a legendary 39 minute 58 second Murph time last year.

I gotta step my game

The top performing people I know (in any industry) are curious learning machines.

They are always reading something, listening to something, studying something.

You have to be obsessed with your craft to be great.

There's no off switch for that.

They might not always be

Show your work to your team. Share your ideas and half baked projects. Share hooks, headlines, screenshots, half written drafts.

You can stay productive and ship work quickly without endless meetings if you're transparent about your work.

We just added 50 more tickets to the first annual Exit Five event (Drive) this September in Burlington, VT.

And no! This is not an annoying little marketing play...

2 weeks ago we sold out 150 tickets in 24 hours.

The response to the event blew me away. Not going to lie I was
