This week’s episode of The Founders is all about “the team.”  Ryan Sarver from Twitter is the guest of honor so all my links will be twitter handles. David’s mom (gingerale) makes a nice appearance (follow her and follow my dad sfeld while you are at it) along with Eric Norlin of Glue, Defrag, and now Blur.

This week’s episode of The Founders appears to be “baby themed.”  With cupcakes.  Fun stuff.

After a long and awesome day in Seattle ending with a great dinner with the BigDoor board at Emmer & Rye, I came back to my room and watched Episode 6 of this year’s TechStars Founders video serious. It was about the TechStars reunion event and included scenes from the world’s largest Ignite event as well as some beautiful Boulder pictures. It made me smile a big smile. Whenever I see stuff like this and reflect on what I spent my life doing, I’m just a happy little kid.

I’ve got a two board meeting day tomorrow (Impinj and Gist) as I gear up to head to Alaska for the month of July.  Seattle and TechStars – thanks for the glorious day!  Homer, I’ll see you Thursday.

Your friends Jason and Brad make guest appearance, as does the infamous Do Not Call list.

One of my often quoted lines is that “fear is a useless emotion in business.”  Sure – self doubt enters the picture on occasion and there are plenty of dark days, but why be fearful of anything?  There’s just no value in it.  Watch as some of the TechStars founders confront some new and exciting types of fear that includes some of Boulder’s majestic rocks.
