I’ve received twenty-one emails since late August when the back-to-school plan was announced. Many are multiple pages long, and that doesn’t include the messages sent directly to our kid’s school email addresses...

Eight years ago, in 2012, I went to the first Lean Startup Machine event in Toronto where our team won first prize by validating our idea and selling our prototype for $50. At the time, I was working as a product owner, and my company was looking to be the first to offer iPad applications within investor relations.
