You're at your wits end, you need a break. Try not to make a serious life decision when you're overworked and stressed to the max. Clarity first - go for a long drive, swim, run or workout. Do something to clear your mind and push out some stress. Physical activity highly advised.

I've worked in a similar environment and even though there has been a lot of research of the dires and productivity loss of exceeding the 40hr work week, we still push ourselves. If you feel this way so does some members of your team probably. The team loses if you all don't take a breather or lighten your load. I don't know the best route - hiring more employees, take less customers, under promise and over deliver on timetables, charge more, etc but a conversation with you partner may help.

Google some of the research done on exceeding 40hr wrk weeks and maybe you can find some better direction.

You can get through this. Best of luck.

A harbinger of a tech bubble?
You don't have to shop at Whole Foods to eat well. Neighborhood gardens, local collectives and independently gardening are growing in popularity for that reason probably. Also, it's nice to know where your food comes from.

Organic produce is priced just like any other good. What is the highest price I can charge that most (or enough) people will pay?

Only way to stop that is for the consumer to not allow it to happen.

Can you direct me to a more thorough resource or are methods too cutting edge to be discussed outside the corners of the internet?

Brunswick, GA | Relocate | Full Time

Business Development, Account Management and Sales/Marketing

Resume: https://angel.co/doug-thorpe

Contact: dougthorpe101 [at] gmail [dot] com

I have over two years of Business Development experience where I helped create and launch a company. I’ve served over three years in an Inside Sales / Account Mgmt role and one year experience as a Sales Manager. In my free time I consult for a few startups.

In total, I have over six years of Marketing experience. I've worked in corporate America, in a startup environment and as a consultant.

Millions die from preventable disease each year. It is this status quo mentality that leads to preventable deaths, the two leaders being Heart Disease and Cancer. I'm not sure who you're trying to convince of your argument by insulting me personally but it is clear you would rather ignore the evidence I've provided than supply a valid counter-argument. Especially when the CDC claims ingredients in vaccines are cancer causing. This is indicative of whose viewpoint is actually based on science (see sources) and whose is faith based.

Insinuating that Aluminum, Formaldehyde, Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and Thimerosal (a mercury-containing preservative) are safe, or actually beneficial, for consumption especially after reviewing the evidence I've given you is folly.

You can keep lying to yourself but to lie to others to promote falsehoods based on such ignorance is even worse. Stop trolling please.

Like I said, you can have your dogma. Irrationality is to believe something based on faith alone and to ignore contradictory evidence.

>At any rate, did you know they make soda cans out of aluminum, too? And formaldehyde is used in such a wide variety of products that focusing on vaccines in particular make me pretty sure you have an ulterior motive.

According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program, formaldehyde which "is used in such a wide variety of products," is known to be a human carcinogen. That means it causes cancer.

According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry "Oral exposure to aluminum is usually not harmful. Some studies show that people exposed to high levels of aluminum may develop Alzheimer’s disease, but other studies have not found this to be true. We do not know for certain that aluminum causes Alzheimer’s disease." While they don't present a clear opinion one way or the other on aluminum's relationship to neurological disorders, I'll use common sense and not consume foods on a regular basis in which heavy metals may reside.

Very cool and nice job. I agree with 'freehunter,' AngelList Jobs and Cyber Coders is pretty scant too.

Will this board include InfoSec positions in operations, marketing, sales, etc fields?

A non-engineer seeking an in into this industry here, experiencing same headaches.

I'm skeptical of all pharmaceuticals and I think history details why we all should. Millions have died from recalled drugs and currently pharmaceuticals are the 4th leading cause of death in America.

According to the CDC, common substances in vaccines include: Aluminum, Formaldehyde, Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and Thimerosal (a mercury-containing preservative). Source: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/additives.htm

I mean really? I won't put these substances in my body and anyone looking at this objectively can see the obvious problems with this. I don't think the "debate is over," and anyone claiming that it is has an ulterior motive.

Aluminum, Formaldehyde and MSG? I can't believe this.

You can have your dogma. I'll be a concern troll who doesn't make major life decisions based on trendy opinions. I will do the research. Thank you for the intelligent debate.

Ideology is the enemy of free thinking.
