Damn this one hit hard. I am giving myself another month to get it out of the gates then I'll regroup and give my family a big "forgive me" hug. Thanks for reminding me of this.

1) I'm not even going to entertain that one. I'm doing this the right way. 2) That's a good point. I have considered looking at the funding route but with being so close to launch it feels like I'm wasting equity when al

Twenties? Try mid thirties :) I am glad that I waited to work on a startup now because my knowledge and experience have given me confidence that I can pull it off. Earlier on in life and I would have been running on pure hubris.
