Cold Emails Not Cutting It? Warm Intros Await in Our Beta!

I thought I was hot 💩 after selling my last startup. But I underestimated how critical timing and market conditions were. I just wrapped up a fantastic session at Boulder Startup Week where I introduced IntroHub to an amazing audience.
 Their feedback was incredibly enlightening, prompting a moment of introspection for me.
 Back in the day, post-acquisition glory made me feel on top of the world. But here I am, back at square one, pitching with passion at a humble (and valuable!) booth.
 This experience has been a stark reminder of how much market conditions and timing contributed to my past success. Embracing this slice of humble pie, I'm fighting HARD -- EVERY DAY -- to grow our beta users. It's dirty, in the trenches, vaudeville callouts to booth traffic to talk to me, then twisting arms. Why? Because this is the game I love. 
 Remember: It’s about the journey, not the destination. #Startups #Entrepreneurship #PersonalDevelopment

I vividly remember your startup hustle when you walked around with your product designs on your iPad at a meetup in 2013 (This Week in Startups, LIVE! - Fireside chat with Alexis Ohanian of Reddit - I checked my email ;)

Rod, your Yale webinar for YLAN set a record for not losing one Zoom attendee from beginning to the very end...It is the journey with the twists and turns one remembers as the finish line is quickly taken for granted.

Love it Rod! Don't change. Remain humble and grounded. It's your North Star which I have no doubt will result in your next successful startup.

The sheer joy of new beginnings is exhilarating..get it!
