In Quebec. They don’t just speak French. They aggressively speak French. Their stop signs say ARRET. In France they say STOP. They mock English speakers. It’s annoying. Tell you this: If sh*t goes down in the world, their rescuers won’t be speaking French.

If you are lazy, being the CEO of a successful company is the absolute best job ever. You have to do almost nothing and you get invited to do the coolest shit. Tough job to get though if you’re lazy.

Am I the only one that ends a slack huddle with "hut, hut, hike?"

I started a little marketing agency 7 years ago called Homestead, named after the street I grew up on. I had the vision to build something special and looking back now, I think we did exactly that. Today I’m excited to announce that Homestead has been acquired by Verndale (also recently acquired VAAN Group) in an effort to create a DTC growth platform built to support brands across the entire commerce lifecycle. I’m extremely grateful to my business partner @_RileyTrotter for all of the time he’s given this company and all the incredible work that he’s done. Riley took over as CEO a few years ago and Homestead wouldn’t be where we are today without his leadership and pursuit of greatness. I can’t say enough about my other partners @kellybird__ and @jsappington. These two have shown a level of commitment to building this company that is unmatched. Watching them both grow as leaders over the last few years has been nothing short of inspiring. To all our current and past team members, thank you for always giving Homestead and our clients 100% effort. Will forever be grateful to you all for helping us get to where we are today. To all of our clients, thank you for trusting in us to help grow your businesses. This is not an easy task and we have never taken it lightly. As for me, I’m officially stepping out of the agency business, but as most of you know I haven’t been involved in the company for some time as Riley/Kelly/Jacob have been and will continue to lead Homestead for years to come. Expect to see more updates on the brands I’ve been building in weeks to come.

I've got a dream 3PL client we can't take Their terms: They get prices below cost, in exchange for "exposure" to their network and rights to advertise them as a client, + a % of any new business from their network. They get great service, low prices. You get screwed. Takers?

How it started, how it ended up. Most don't know that I enjoy rowing and woodworking. When combined you get boatbuilding! This CLC Expedition Wherry took me a few years to knock off my list. It's a joy to row and handled spectacularly in the 7048 endurance race last year.

@allenwalton No, I mean that they're meant to capture the affinity of brand new operators and complement the shopify ethos of lowering the barrier to entry. These rates are never available to large shippers and that's deliberate by the carriers.

@ChadCarleton Meaning you think they will go away at some point, and higher shipping prices will take over?

Shopify's shipping rates are so good. Especially on expedited. Makes my 3PL's pricing look terrible. Almost want to bring it back in-house.

My son just bought a Lego with his allowance money and asked me about sales tax I told him “every time we buy something we have to give the government a little bit of money” He looked at me like I was insane And it does sound that way when you say it out loud…

There's a 7 year long thread in ECF about bogus ADA website accessibility claims. How is this still a thing.
