@TheSalonDon I might be the only person in the history of Boston Impound Lots to get my car out for free. Police towed it and never reported, marked stolen 2 weeks later Detective calls me - lot fees are 2x value of car. Tells me to get there in the next 15 min and they'll let it go free

Everyone in America can be blackmailed except for Impound Lot Owners Have a regular job? - Someone can send an email to your boss and HR claiming terrible things Own a customer facing business? - Someone can spam your business with 1,000s of bad reviews Own a B2B business? - Someone can reach out to your customers with horror stories Impound lot? - The most successful lots proudly maintain a 1.3 star rating - Local police contracts do not care about blackmail emails

@elamje @investingluc Nothing, unless you're looking to hire a talented new CPO

@investingluc What can anyone do with that information

I was playing tennis with a guy that works at a tech company. Smaller name, but lots of momentum/buzz, so I was thinking it’s prob close to an IPO. Between sets, I asked him if he was hearing any rumors internally about potentially going public soon. He said something interesting. “I haven’t heard a word. Tight lips from the c-suite, but there will always be signs.” He gave me one of the “signs” he noticed. He went on to explain that the Chief People Officer was an absolute stud… really tight with the CEO, wore many hats, and CRUSHED it. They loved her. But she was leaving. It wasn’t right away though. She stayed on, helped with the transition, ran the all-hands meeting, and even intro’d everyone to her replacement. Very amicable exit huh? Well, apparently she didn’t want/need to leave necessarily, but the next phase of the company required a different skillset. She understood that and stepped away. Her replacement? A new Chief People Officer, but with a legal-heavy background. Why would they drop an elite Chief People Officer that’d been there for 5 years…for a brand new CPO with legal experience? Because they’re about to IPO. There’s clues like this *all over* the markets. Subtle, yet very important, clues. We find these.

@VicVijayakumar beautiful 🤌 unfortunately 4 years on and she won't hop in the carrier anymore but we made it count

@mikemikemac That was the inspiration for my banner image! Also- look at that chonk.

pretty much every single parent looking at this is going hell yeah good job getting out there and continuing to live your life all the judgy shit is from childless people who seem to think that babies need to stay inside a cocoon at home???

There is a park at a recreation center about 200 yards from my house. When my youngest daughter was 13 she went to the park with a couple of neighborhood kids to go swing. She returned home after being gone for less than 30 minutes. I asked her why she was home and she told me "the man at the park said we couldn't be there without parents." So I called the rec director and asked him what was going on. He told me that they don't allow unaccompanied kids under the age of 16. I argued with him that 16 year olds didn't hang out in parks unless they were drinking (or worse). I asked what good are parks when kids can't play in them. He got pissed and told me my kid(s) were banned. This is in a small Southern town of about 5000. It's incredible considering the freedom I had in the 70s and 80s. On a positive note, I donated $2500 to the guy that ran against him for the rec director on the condition that if he won, parks would be open to all well-behaved children. My guy won and told me it was the first time anyone had made a contribution to a parks & rec director race.

My kids used to love walking to Target until the local Target changed their policy to "no unaccompanied kids under 18" It's v frustrating. I'm looking for chances to help my kids be independent & I have basically no societal cooperation on this project

@rootpoint @maxclark @STLChrisH Terrible. Just feels like the "f u" price to get you to leave but still hopefully retain you on the platform.

@mikemikemac @maxclark @STLChrisH We had an employee get cancer in June 22 and die dec 22. They upped our rate way more than that with our old PEO. I even explained that unlike Jesus, this guy wasn't going to be back in 3 days and we couldn't have a repeat of him getting treatment.

My company pays the first $100,000 of health insurance claims for every covered life. That’s not an exaggeration. That’s a decision we made to try and control premiums for our midsize businesses. Here’s what most people don’t realize: Insurance carriers set your rates based on how YOUR employees use the plan. Your company’s “loss ratio” = how much the carrier pays out vs. how much you paid in premiums. If you’re over 100%… get ready. Your rates are going up--sometimes 30%+. Carriers target a loss payout ratio <80%. So what drives a bad loss ratio? Unhealthy employees? You’ll get hammered. High ER usage for things that could’ve been handled with telemedicine or urgent care? You’ll get hammered. Avoidable procedures and misaligned care? You guessed it--hammered. At our company, we’ve had to rethink how we approach health care. Because when a single ER visit costs $8,000+… it affects everyone’s bottom line. That’s why we’re investing in: 1. Telehealth options that are fast, easy, and affordable 2. Mental health access on demand 3. Employee education on care options and cost 4. Stronger wellness initiatives Controlling healthcare costs isn’t just about shopping for better plans. It’s about helping our team use the plan better--so we can keep providing great benefits without breaking the bank. If you're a fellow business owner battling healthcare costs, I’d love to hear what’s working for you.

@maxclark @STLChrisH Largely agree with PEOs at that size, but 1 year of over-utilization and your renewal cost will explode. Dealing with this now, +41% for the same coverage in the 11-50 tier

@STLChrisH Many people don't understand just how hard health insurance is for companies 1-10 forgetaboutit 11-50 no good options, expensive 51+ finally at the size where you can do things My #1 argument for PEOs is health insurance when you're under 100 employees

@RhysSullivan @nbrempel There's been a huge pullback from admin/parents allowing kids to bike to school. Trying to change that with @BikeBusWorld @CoachBalto

@nbrempel i biked

Are school pick up lines a new phenomenon? I swear when I was growing up we didn’t have them they seem so crazy to me

@nickabouzeid @dvassallo It's one of the first things a buyer will look at in an acquisition; you don't know when states will come knocking so it's considered a liability until then. Have gone through this with a state at $8M-$10M ARR; huge time sink with an audit and then a court case that lasted yrs

@dvassallo $100k in a single state or $500k/$1m in aggregate sales is a convenient time to implement Discord / these massive co’s are way too late to be wise/practical

5 years in business, tens of millions of dollars raised, millions of dollars in revenue, and only now they're starting to collect "applicable sales tax and VAT". Do with this info what you want.

@pissboymcgee Go bills

You were obviously never a fan then. I’d let this cheerleader spit in my mouth for a first down

@PedestrianTakes Super location dependent imo. My 8 y/o rides his bike around town, grabs small groceries for us, picks up bagel order. Many parents around us push their kids to do the same; be the change you want to see

There’s this weird self reinforcing thing among parents now too. No one wants to be seen as the irresponsible parent who lets their kids play outside unsupervised so no one lets their kids play outside unsupervised even if some of us want to.

I worked with an accountant who pieced together an affair based on expense reports Got suspicious on a submission and called a hotel to verify a charge, they didn't even have the floor # indicated on the receipt. Couple was staying in 1 room and expensing 2 💀

@VicVijayakumar @mountainwesttax Not a pit but we've had a biting incident with our kids and had to tell family members we can't be around their dogs anymore. They're so offended but how dumb do we, as parents, end up looking if it happens a second time/worse

@mountainwesttax time to lib out and ask them to secure their dog in a dog safe, outside the house

Before play dates I check with the other parents if they have unsecured guns in the house. Going to have to start asking if they own a pit bull because what the fuck is this, how much longer are we going to accept “it’s the owners not the dog”.

@VicVijayakumar I have this too and it's amazing. Smart watch on my ankle and I'm +10k steps per day easily

It's Amazon Prime day. I don't actually need anything, but here's a link to the most life-changing purchase you can make:

@VicVijayakumar @LizNix Same, it was so inexpensive that I'm considering building 3 and sending each kid to live in their own tiny home in the yard

@mikemikemac @LizNix have run out of land but I love this

reasons I want a new house: - more room for growing kids (currently bunking) - more gardening room - entertaining space - garage gym - wired workshop for wife's hobbies reasons I don't want a new house: - currently have a 2.25% mortgage on 285K

@VicVijayakumar @LizNix Can you add another structure? Neighbors just put this pottery shed in their yard

@LizNix Expanded this house from 1012 sqft to 1600 sqft in 2018. The only way to expand it more on this lot is to demolish and build a new house, with stronger footings.

@Go4TheGoldy @NLLBandits Great accomplishment, was a ton of fun watching you run. Got another video before the finish if you can use it 👍

WE DID IT!🏅🥍🏃‍♂️ . This morning, I officially broke the Guinness World Record for the Fastest Half Marathon in Lacrosse Equipment — 13.1 miles in full @NLLBandits gear. . Tons of content coming your way soon, but I had to share the finish line moment first. . Thank you to everyone who supported this wild journey, especially @jenny12790 who is ALWAYS waiting at the finish line. And a HUGE shoutout to @kenzieruns for capturing this shot. . The link to donate to City of Buffalo Animal Shelter is in my bio, so ahead over and donate what you can! . @NLL @GWR #LaxForThePaws #GuinnessWorldRecord #BuffaloStrong #Go4TheGoldy #BuffaloMarathon #BanditBuilt #NLL #lacrosselife
