Quit thinking about what went wrong with your life and be grateful for what went right. Success rarely occurs to those that think the world owes them something. Opportunity presents itself to those with a prepared mind and thankful heart. Happy Thanksgiving. 🙏

To commemorate the 5-year anniversary of Toyota Ventures, I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has been part of this journey and reflect on how keeping our "head in the clouds" and "feet on the ground" have served us. Looking forward to what's next!

We had a beautiful evening planned riding bikes from Treasure Island to Oakland for dinner. Then take the @SFBayFerry back to the city after dinner. Unfortunately, it never arrived and gave no notice. Sad.
