Need some help…our enterprise customers use MS Teams, Slack, email, sometimes SMS for support…is there a product that allows our CS team to use one app/screen to consolidate all of the various channels in one place? Front doesn’t work with Teams. Intercom? Freshworks? Others?

Proud of @accessfund today! We helped craft and get introduced a standalone bipartisan bill in Congress for the federal protection of climbing in Wilderness. This will go a long way to sustainably protect climbing & outdoor recreation on federal land. accessfund.org/news-and-event…

This post quite literally changed my life, and is one of the best pieces written on the internet. Thought I'd share it since I'm constantly telling people about it anyway. You're welcome. waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/the-ta…

Fubo.tv is the worst product with the worst customer service of any product on the internet. Signed up for a free trial for a match that didn't work. Thought the trial was a month, but got charged after a week. Called for a refund and they refused. Insane. @fuboTV

Proud what we built at @NedSpacePDX over the past 12 years, with hundreds of founders/companies, lots of fundraising rounds & ~12 exits from members. Even helped update City of PDX econ-dev strategy. We sold the biz to Jorge from @vive_nw. Baton passed! siliconflorist.com/2021/04/28/pas…

💥 BREAKING 💥 Amid pressure from the climbing community, the BLM announced today that it has canceled plans to auction over 85,000 acres of recreation-rich land around Moab for oil and gas leasing. bit.ly/3fSmkGB

This is really f&$ked up. If your business took a PPP loan, the IRS won’t allow deduction for that loan to pay expenses, and now treats it as taxable income. Call your senator or tell a reporter that follows you and make noise! This needs to be overturned. kiplinger.com/article/busine…

Interesting article about going beyond your comfort zone...from the piece: "max performance occurs when our stress levels are slightly higher than usual...Being somewhat uncomfortable can push us to achieve goals we never thought we could." fastcompany.com/90420672/why-b…

This piece by @msuster is one of the best I've seen on founders/CEOs managing their startup boards. The full presentation linked in the post is a must-read if you manage a board. bothsidesofthetable.com/managing-your-…

Time to open Forest Park to mt. biking! A bike park in Bentonville, AR of all places proves that great economic development will come. Move past the politics & special interest groups fighting it. @tedwheeler @cwpdx13 @PDXParksandRec @NWTrailAlliance youtu.be/iaHJ6auHQPY

Thanks for sharing your salary calculator worksheet on Notion. It's super helpful to see how other companies are doing it. I'm unable to access the Google spreadsheet linked in that template...would you mind sharing a link to it. Thx! -Josh

Great @outsidemagazine article about the NRMA passing Congress. It is the first federal legislation explicitly allowing rock climbing in a National Wilderness, setting precedent for other areas to come. climbing.com/news/congress-…

VICTORY! Congress just passed the biggest public lands package in recent history—and climbers helped make it happen! Oh, and it includes Wilderness climbing protections, which will be written into law for the first time. bit.ly/2VnR88t

"The Obstacle is the Way" by @RyanHoliday should be required reading for every entrepreneur. “The extent of the struggle determines the extent of the growth. The obstacle is an advantage, not adversity.” Couldn't be more poignant for the entire journey.
