What did I learn from Moosejaw guy? Plenty. First: beware a business where your first objective is to get girls. Second: watch out for over-inventory. Three: if you decide to enter a business situation with your sibling(s), don't work in the same room or on the same task. Four: if you give a talk, don't prepare but give away plenty of free stuff. Five: if you pre-blog about an event, blogging about the result will seem redundant.
Today got wicked busy, a little unexpectedly. More career stuff, this time scheduling a possible trip to California, slathered over growth strategies and valuation meetings. Clay, Ian and I knocked out the calculations for the last valuation case in three long afternoon hours in Kresge, but it feels good to be largely done with that class. I also heaped together a list of questions for wedding vendors; for some reason the past few days have been very fruitful in terms of my vision of the wedding as a holistic supply chain and this leads to very precise questions like 'what is the opportunity cost of linen pickup?' or 'what is the shadow price of one bottle of wine?' or 'who the heck is going to cut the cake?'
