Today I flew out to Brooksville (BKV) to hunt down some food and talk about the startup life. Nick Neral, a coworker and fellow startup enthusiast, joined me on the flight. We've both got different backgrounds and experience, but have agreed on a lot of the things we've learned from our time in the startup environment and want to share them today.
