Matt Maroon - But Seriously

I swear I have the worst timing ever. I go to college just as the .com bubble crashes, and now that I'm planning my jump into startupdom everything crashes again.

Oh well, there's nowhere to go but up, right?

Right?

Actually, you probably have the best timing ever unless you want your name associated with things that people gnash their teeth at. :-)

Starvation eliminates the ability to execute on hard tasks.

Maybe that should be read as "The PROSPECT of starvation is a a spur to success."

Well, it certainly won't be an unsurmountable obstacle.

Depending on who you ask, I'm either persistent, stubborn, or muley.

Right?

I wouldn't say that. It might be the best time a company. It's not a good time to sell one.
