On: Jason Calacanis: What to do if your startup is about fail

[eterno]

This is one of the most brilliant startup stories I have read in a while. Im not a big calcanis fan and dont think too highly of mahalo, but the amount of wisdom and insight in this post left me reading this over and over again for almost an hour (Normally, I dont read anything 1/10th this long and even if I do, I just skim.)

I agree. I knew Jason back in the day, and frankly, he was a bit of a dipshit. he was hot and trendy, and knew it and played it. It sounds like he's grown up a bit. Maybe we all have (group hug?)

1. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. 2. you can't help but a learn a couple of things after three or four startups. :-)

Reminds me of a russian proverb my co-founder attributed to his great-uncle:

"The first time you get hit by a train, it really hurts. The second time, it still hurts. By the third time, you start to get used to it."
