What it feels like investing in a seasoned, serial founder who knows what they’re doing

On this day in 1974, Tim Horton died. During his 24 season in the NHL, he won four Stanley Cups with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He opened the first @TimHortons Doughnut Shop in Hamilton in 1964. Today, there are over 4,600 locations across Canada.

@MichaelDell Power of physical events.

1985 at Comdex in Las Vegas, the PC’s Limited booth. Selling PCs with the Intel and AMD 286 processors. My mom also came to see what it was all about. I was 20 years old and was supposed to be in college.

Can someone please make an AI generated clone of cap table management software? Make it simple, secure and $1000/yr. There are apparently 40k customers waiting to adopt it rn…

Some throwback pics from my Microsoft days… I miss live events and being on stage! 😎

Top 1% event professionals may disagree on tactics but they all have one thing in common: They know their data inside out. If you are in events, you are in the business of data.

I usually post these (while adding a few new ones) every year on Tiger Woods' birthday, but who wants to wait that long when we're going to see him back on the course Thursday? Here's a thread of some of the most insane Tiger on-course stats in his historic career --

For all those who recently lost their job: There is an industry looking for talent, it’s the events industry. Events are booming. Now’s the time to get involved.

Fully, Completely, Missed 💙🎩🎶 ~Hard to believe it was six years ago today that we lost our beloved HIP Frontman and Ahead by a Century Canadian, Gord Downie 🍁🎤❤️

Thank you Ivor for making each one of my Open starts so memorable

Congrats to these 5 companies - and to Buffalo, a city leaning into the future and rallying to support startups. Tonight’s event was attended by 3000 people, cheering the entrepreneurs on. It was great to be back! #RiseOfRest

Just a reminder that between 2004 & 2006 Tiger had 1,466 putts inside 3 feet. He only missed 3.

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
