@jabbawy @matisyahu Huge fan too. The guitar riff of this song has been one of my ringtones since forever. Missed him live due to COVID cancellation. If you haven’t seen the video version, don’t miss the stage dive! youtu.be/dsFpUW48Tnc?si…
@englishpaulm Bunch of good DTC brands. Lots of parameters beyond range. Look at Priority Current and Vanmoof A5. Have to go to NYC to test drive each. (Probably going with Current.)
Two great writeups on how to recruit: @englishpaulm pme.org/hiring.html @jabbawy zerotoexit.co/how-i-like-to-…
Signing up for ChatGPT Plus was probably the least time I've ever thought about a subscription. Instant click, no brainer at $20.
@jabbawy So great to catch up! You are so right: the problem stays the same; we just change the teams and the players. It’s a great lesson for entrepreneurs though: few spaces are ever “solved” and “done.”
Caught up with my friend @vertm today. In 1995 he founded a company called Constant Contact. We laughed a lot. So much has changed in SMB marketing, and nothing has changed at all. Little known, CTCTs first use case back in the day was actually e-Commerce email.
Amazing "Pitch Perfect" Lunch and Learn session offered to our 100+ startups in our IBM / MassChallenge Mentor Program on the "handshake pitch" with our guest Randy Parker, CEO of Brevi, serial entreprenuer, and Constant Contact founder. Thanks to all o…lnkd.in/gcCP2uS6
This is especially true of small businesses. They don’t buy “multivitamins.”
There’s a big difference from “nice to have” to “must have.” You want your product to be the second one.
@englishpaulm Customer experience with @everly_well is always good. Will need payers and providers to be motivated to shift more tests to them (imagine MD handing you a boxed test rather than asking you to go stand in line at the lab).
Thoughtful thread on Shopify (and includes a response from @tobi)
1. Shopify stock is down 50% over the past 12 months. Its mission may be to "arm the rebels," but it is giving us muskets in a war that is increasingly being fought with machine guns. 👇👇👇
Shopify’s annual revenue: 2021: $4.6 billion 2020: $2.9 billion 2019: $1.6 billion 2018: $1.1 billion 2017: $673 million 2016: $389 million 2015: $205 million 2014: $105 million 2013: $50 million 2012: $24 million
Just video 5 new users - account setup, rewards usage, and actual pizza ordering - you will have 5 sprints worth of fixes. Lots of good mobile UX consultants - @jranft can point you at some. CC: @a_w_hooper @__lastoria (P.S. The @andpizza mentions about “app” agree.)
I never tweet shame bad mobile UX because there is so much of it, but I love @andpizza’s products and mission so much that I’m hoping they’ll fix their app. It has to be a headwind on revenue. Literally no shortage of bugs and bad UX choices. (1/2)

Congratulations to @jabbawy and @privy!! Ben rewrote the book on small businesses, startup hustle, app ecosystems, and so much more. @MerriamWebster can just go ahead and put his picture on the definition for "tenacity."
I couldn’t be more excited to share that @attentivemobile has acquired @privy . Two industry leaders. Better together. I literally can’t stop smiling because of what this means for YOU, our customers + partners.
Nice pair of recent stories from @nealbp on Mailchimp and Klaviyo (and, indirectly, Shopify). On Klaviyo: localogy.com/move-over-mail… On Mailchimp's move into commerce:
New from Localogy Insider: @Mailchimp Adds Stores, Booking to Prove Its More Than Just Email Click to Read the Full Story Now! bit.ly/2ScrPtF bit
Would love to see Apple work with @twilio et al. to deliver to iPhones via Messages app without fees.
Sms industry is about to go crazy with the upcoming carrier registration fees. For all my email peeps, imagine having to pay your ESP, but also pay a tax to Gmail, yahoo, etc for each “campaign” you send.
