  • Inspiration (0:51) : Stemmed from a nice conversation talking about what was happening with the Phoenix Startup community. This was a way to amplify, unify and clarify the vision.
  • Encouragement (4:01) : “Just starting…hitting the gas pedal and getting started.”
  • Focus (6:12) : References Jason Fried’s book “Rework” which mentions that “time is the inspiration killer.” When you are inspired, when it’s possible, drop everything else and focus on what it is you are inspired to do.
