Nothing is more traumatic that career-interrupted. I was on to something genius. And Flow.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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<\/a>“. 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. <\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Martin as in Martin Shen. He’s co-founder of UpOut. Up-Out<\/a> makes money while they make money. <\/font>UpOutSF<\/a> makes money while they get distribution for themselves <\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
UpOutSF<\/a> has a model kinda similar to <\/font>#ReverseVC<\/a>. See this tweets Eventbrite link. Open it and take notes…<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Last night’s #reversevc<\/a> event w @LarryChiang<\/a> @jeff<\/a> @jebinger<\/a> @owenthomas<\/a> was off the charts – thanks all for first night for @StartupRoots<\/a>!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


After <\/span>#ReverseVC<\/a> and <\/font>StartupRoots<\/a>, no wonder Gagan Biyani was successful. LOOK AT WHAT HE DID<\/font><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
By the way, that was me quoting myself, quoting Jim Rohn. He’s a mentor. He said: <\/span><\/div>\n

“No wonder they were successful. Look at what they D-I-D.”<\/span><\/div>\n
