Thanks for the tip on Blossom.io. They’re definitely in the vein of what I’m talking about and Sprint.ly is at least doing the first part of engaging all parts of a team better.

I still think it’s a good *idea*, it’s just not a good *business*. I look forward to seeing how both do and using them in future work myself.

Thanks,
Jason

Good Luck discovering your passion.

(and on a more mundane note, blossom.io seems to attempt some of the innovation accounting as part of a product/customer dev process) You might find it interesting.

Sounds like your Silicon Valley trip helped you to rediscover the importance of the third!

[Sorry, but it's the time of the semester when I'm going over Aristotelian Rhetoric with some classes and this just fit that model!]

We met earlier this year and I was going though a similar ‘reboot’ myself. I’m glad to see you not losing spirit, thats the most important thing, if any thing has served me well in 23 years.

I’ve also found some tip of direction I think, and its funny about a week ago I posted similar posts on my blog (its on tumblr -a ridiculous platform considering I pay for vps/own my own server, but I like tumblr). Reading this off of twitter I feel like I’m re-reading my own stuff haha. Its good to hear at any rate, I feel like as long as you are in the arena, you can play the game, so having the presence of mind to be looking means you will find something. Once you lose that presence, its hard to get back. I have faith though, you strike me as a determined guy. If you ever despair, just check out Paul Arden’s books.

The perfect idea will come, just be ready when it does.

Best,
Brian

It’s clear you are a founder at heart. There’s no shame in working to make someone else’s dream come true while building your skills. Don’t worry. The right idea WILL come at the right time.

Alex
