Nothing is more traumatic that career-interrupted. I was on to something genius. And Flow.
The “flow” when something you start gets a life-of-it’s own. I’m in flow all the time. Free-flow. Above where I mention career interrupted, I meant sub-career role in the form of “Reverse VC“. The point of this article is to reveal that before founders became legendary soon legendary shiitake, they executed legendary, basic, common-place, trite, basic things.
Off the top of my head in a 20 min blog it’s “Martin, Gagan, Nick, Nick, Bilal, JohnYS and another Nick (with Johnny Van)”. The relevance to FICO and duck9 and 11:11 is that legendary results happen in a subroutine of execution. This subroutine of execution is painful, rote, commonplace, kinda trite, super basic
Martin as in Martin Shen. He’s co-founder of UpOut. Up-Out makes money while they make money. UpOutSF makes money while they get distribution for themselves
UpOutSF has a model kinda similar to #ReverseVC. See this tweets Eventbrite link. Open it and take notes…

Before entrepreneurship execution happens. Pre-entrepreneurship execution occurs via a sub-franchise where you run subroutines #ReverseVC

Gagan is a big deal
I won’t list out his legendary stuff. I’ll let you comment what they are after you GOOGLE HIM.

Last night’s #reversevc event w @LarryChiang @jeff @jebinger @owenthomas was off the charts – thanks all for first night for @StartupRoots!
|

After #ReverseVC and StartupRoots, no wonder Gagan Biyani was successful. LOOK AT WHAT HE DID
By the way, that was me quoting myself, quoting Jim Rohn. He’s a mentor. He said:
“No wonder they were successful. Look at what they D-I-D.”

This will be hard for you to believe
I mean working hard is tough to swallow. So, seeing the amount of work is at Kobe Bryant levels.

Correct “@Nick_Spiller: @ntippmann yes ill be there. Anyone else? Reverse VC party? 8-10 at parkside on 6th. Text me 8108140727 #vcSecrets”

Nick Tippmann’s amount of reading is at Steve Kerr levels
Download the Twitter app. Steve Kerr is reading a book about a 1936 team of 9 rowers. Btw, he has to share that trophy with 15 other dudes and 9 other coaches and 200 other employees :-/

David came up with reverse job fair
I came up with #reverseVC and anointed David Weekly “non-employee co-founder”
Selfie No-self is like non-employee co-founder. I took the pic. I co-founded your startup. But I’m not in the picture
Nick Alexander.
#reverseVC plus a half-dozen other legendary subroutines

@JohnYS. Added him as TA at #ENGR145 after he executed #reverseVC. There’s a ton of video and a huge photo album on fB.
Maybe my friend Nichelle is next? She installed me as a speaker for SXSW about “Blogging nickels”, 2010

#CS183Do is a sequel to CS 183b. That Sam Altman class was a sequel to Peter’s CS 183. CS 183 is a sequel to Engineering 145, the class I taught 2010-2012.
SXSW film festival is a sequel to Sundance Film Festival.
