Just by random luck. I was walking down the street and found this entrepreneur. She pitched her idea and handed me her product. I saw some growth potential and decided to invest.

I’m now a proud co-founder of a lemonade stand.

One of my friends from college co founded a startup. He asked me if I wanted to be an early investor so I invested $10,000. Since, the company has raised millions and is in talks with VC firms for series A financing. One of the co founders has been an angel investor for several successful companies that have IPO’d. Hoping this venture follows the same path.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Witnessed ageism in a unusual way. I am a P, Male, 51
Client counterpart and I were discussing a Consultant and the client told me he didn’t want this guy because the consultant is in his 50s. I quietly told the client that cannot be a reason plus I am in my 50s and you should have seen the client back paddle with compliments for me. Just a weird situation. Ageism is real.

I’v been in digital marketing for almost 5 years. I want to switch to marketing operations or research, because I find I’m better at and more interested in market research, audience research than keyword research or writing ad copies.

I understand I don’t have enough direct experience and platform experience, like Nielsen.

Any advice?
