While I've got a litany of topics I can talk through, please let me know if there's something you'd like me to riff on. I promise to keep it unscripted, unedited, and off the cuff. Looking forward to your questions and topics 🙏
Being a startup founder is hard. Anywhere. But being a startup founder in Portland has some additional challenges - not unlike the challenges that many founders face, around the world - that can make it even more difficult. That's one reason I try to celebrate the folks who are taking on that challenge, here.
This. Full stop. Thanks for sharing Turoczy. Great insights. Raw. Emotional. Real. Startups in PDX are no joke. You need both steel and cotton. You need to be tough, but approachable. Thanks for this dude.
I am so glad that this resonated with you! Thanks so much for watching. And commenting 🙌
