I know many of my Canadian QuickBooks peeps abandoned Twitter long ago, but it can’t hurt to ask. Who else will be at the sold-out @QuickBooksCA Get Connected event in #yyc #Calgary in just a few weeks? #GetConnectedCAN 🇨🇦

Great way to scratch the networking itch at #FuckupNightsYYC in the Beltline. So many familiar faces and lots of new ones too. Amazing speakers. Superb event. My second. Won’t be the last.

I think more founders should talk about imposter syndrome. It can follow you everywhere in the early days of building your business. I distinctly remember feeling it while on a flight to San Francisco to meet investors for the very first time. Trying to convince smart people to leave stable jobs and take a bet on Relay. Or when I was talking to big customers while our product was barely off the ground. When something’s not working at that stage, it’s hard not to take things personally. And in a sense it is personal: your product doesn’t have any track record, so people are making a bet on you. I’d treat every moment as a way to prove that Relay could get to the next step, which also meant that I’d be judging how well or poorly things were going in real time. And by doing that I was never fully present. What got me out of it was advice that I still use to this day. There’ll be a ton of high-stakes moments while building a company. Before each one, stop and visualize things going well. Actually picture it in detail: the energy in the room, the back-and-forth, then reaching the outcome you're working toward. Once I started doing this regularly, I noticed my own energy shifting. It's like your brain stops anticipating what could go wrong and starts scanning for opportunities. In practice, meetings just go better. Genuinely one of the most useful mental tools I've picked up over the last 7 years.

The mic cut out during O Canada at the Sabres game. Buffalo filled every single second of silence. Sang it word for word. This is how you tell your neighbors you see them. We love Canada. Don’t listen to the noise.

It pains me that people are actually like this 😭

Silicon Valley was really so ahead of their time

For decades, The Stubby Bottle ensured that Canadians knew their beer was produced within Canada by a Canadian brewery. But in the 1980s, in the hope of boosting sales, the stubby was abandoned by breweries for the long-neck bottle. This is the story. 📸 LeShoppeVintage 🧵 1/8
