As I listened to the final produced episode with John Nellen, CEO of Todyl (above), I was reminded of my time as founder and CEO of Tabor Interactive (so very long ago!).  Tom’s impassioned statement, “…and those are the times when you can go all in… those are the 2 AM Zoom calls… it’s like what gets portrayed in the media, in TV shows… that’s REAL!” I thought, “Yup!  I get that.”  I remember sleeping on the office floor, driving from contractor to contractor at 4 AM to exchange hard drives (the internet was too slow then), fighting to make a deadline with technology constraints pinching the productivity funnel.  It sucked, and it was so exciting, exhilarating, adrenaline pumping.  I’ve been there, done 100-hour work weeks, and I miss it from time to time. It’s gratifying to reminisce, and in the memories, the suffering has faded.
