Yesterday, we rebranded to Canopy (canopy.is)… And I’m just glad that it’s over 😂

Anyone who’s done a rebrand will tell you the emotional roller coaster of choosing a new name and a new logo…

Then the taxing legwork it takes to execute on those changes.…

In the early 2010s, we built and launched a product called Know Your Company to help business owners like me get to know their own company a bit better. As companies grow past 25 or 30 people, it's natural to begin to lose touch with everything that's happening, how people are…

You don’t put the finish before the start.

A great way to ruin a painting, a relationship and sex.

I flew to see this.
And it blew my mind.
I’ve never seen or felt anything like it.
This is what the sea looked like.

AppSumo is about to do $100M in revenue this year.

But before that:

• Rejected by Microsoft and Google (twice!)
• Fired by both Facebook and Mint after less than a year

Dear designers who work at Apple can we request emojis ?

I’d love:
- a gong
- a 20 sided dice
- full sized bear side view like the deer
- joint (you have a cigarette)

If you have a request add below and maybe they will add them!

If you’re someone who’s constantly late…

You’re an asshole.
You’re selfish.

No one takes you seriously.

You don’t take your word seriously.

It’s probably why you struggle.

And I hope you hear this.

Comes from a place of love.

All design leaders should be actively creating something. To stay in the feel of what it means to bring something into the world.

If you’re a design leader and you don’t design then you should be writing. Writing is also designing.

I’ll die on this hill.

The contacts and relationships I made at YouTube back in 2011 have been the most formidable of my life - if you are young and full of energy in a large company meet as many people as you can and be as helpful as you can. It will come back a hundred fold.

incredible what writing can accomplish.

Religions, wars, peace - all created through a persons writing.

Now's not the time for me to buy art sadly, else I'd snatch up one of these! Marc's work is so strong.

I wish I could shout this from the rooftops.

I'm literally tempted to buy this even though I know I shouldn't 😭 They're just so beautiful.
