Hey Mom, I’m A Book Salesman

I love my partners at Foundry Group.  They keep me humble.  Very humble.  I speculate that the following video is the work of Jason Mendelson.  Payback will be sweet.


On a more serious note, Andrew Warner has a great interview with my co-author and TechStars CEO David Cohen up on Mixergy.

Oh – and if you haven’t already, go buy a copy of Do More Faster.

    Solidly funny! This is great – can't see what you come up with in response Brad!

  • Brian Hart

    I received this link from a lawyer, and then just showed it to my lawyer father — who was laughing the whole time. Brilliant. Second only to the xtranormal.com "I want an iPhone" video.

    I can't believe my work was reduced to a footnote on the bottom of 2010's version of a LOL cat.

      I'd take this as a high compliment!

      I couldn't figure out how to embed video from Mixergy. I might have just been tired from the week but I would have if I could figure this out.

        Takeaway #1: Talk to Wistia about the embed.

        Takeaway #2: Run an ad on elance for someone who could convert my interviews into cartoons.

        Done & Done.

    I'm happy that my first try at film creation has been such a success. Bring it, Feld.

    • Steve Bergstein

      Well done, Jason!

    Fantastic. Can't believe I didn't think of doing this before "Jason" (sic.) did.

  • kilitx

  • Jeff H

  • Bill Meredith

    Still hilarious every time I see it! At least your partners didn't get fired unlike the employee at Best Buy who made the "iPhone vs HTC" video!

    This is hilarious, but not believable…Brad doesn't wear ties…
