According to my App Store history, on May 30, 2010, I downloaded the app "Ian's Laces — How to tie and lace shoes (Lite)". Since then, I've very rarely had to tie my shoes :)

I’m wondering if anything in their setup is worth incorporating into the “status quo” The most immediately relevant thing is equity-based comp that doesn’t have a tax hit. Another thing I find interesting is whether this comp might be more

I really loved "Valley of Genius" 500 pages of straight quotes. It reads like everyone is gathered around a campfire talking about the past, and you're there with them. Great book https://www.amazon.com/Valley
