@ChandlerReedSMB How do you evaluate skin in the game? Just cash, or do you account for things like personal guarantee on leases, lower returns at the beginning, etc

Haven’t tweeted in a while. Little about me… - left PE 3 years ago to launch a Venture Fund (Stone Mountain Ventures) with over 20 LPs and a little under $2M raised - been running my fund and have learned a lot about breaking into VC and paving your way when it’s hard to break in - own and operate 2 small businesses generating about $800k in revenue - actively looking to acquire more businesses and grow a Holding Company - been sober since 4/13/2022 - enjoy running and not very good about posting on social media so trying to be authentic and take it one day at a time - based in Dallas, TX

@Budgetdog_ Do you stick to any sort of routine while traveling? I try to get a workout in but it’s easy to get burnt out with too much travel
