When a small, locally owned business opens its doors, it does more than sell a product — it becomes part of the community’s ecosystem. It recycles money locally, creates jobs, and shapes the culture of the neighborhood.

But here’s the real question:

What should the role of a local business be in its community?

Is it enough to provide great service? Or do we expect local businesses to:
• Mentor the next generation?
• Hire from underserved groups?
• Invest in local events and causes?

Ppr league....Cory clement / Latvius murray / lamar Miller / Sony Michel / Adrian Peterson which 2 running backs should I start this week. Also should I play Chris Godwin at flex or one of these RBs

Would be great if the Falcons would target Pitts at all

Imagine starting Lamar and Diggs and still losing. Couldn’t be me.

How strong is your impostor syndrome on a scale of 1-10?

(10 being I feel like I'm a day away from being found out).

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!

Does Amazon still has any work from home roles or options ?
Or Amazon employees are supposed to attend office ?

Article 13 passed, time to close the Europe meme bowl! 🤣

I have over 20,000 unread emails in my inbox.

Recommendations on bathing suits for guys? I like the Vilebrequin / Mr. Swim style, but don't want to spend more than $50

Are there any sand volleyball courts in DFW that keep lights on at night. I've tried Sandbar and Sports Garden but they are really crowded and you can't even bring water inside.

What are the best books/blogs/online resources to boost your organizational change management skills?

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

Surprise and delight. I can’t help but not feel the sexual undertones when I read or say it.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Anyone interested in fashion? Stated a clothing brand. Need sales.

Side hustle or startup ideas for someone who isn’t technical/doesn’t code? Where should I look or where to begin? I don’t have any strong passions or specific skills that I’m confident in. What books, articles, blogs, orgs, events, people I should follow for inspiration that has helped you? I have some cash to invest and am looking for a part time hustle that can cash flow at least a little bit of money on the side.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

I need everyone’s help😭 Money aside, how did you finalize which idea to pursue? I’m struggling to narrow it down from 4. Focusing is not an issue for me once I’m locked in, but I’m struggling to get there because I haven’t finalized which idea to focus on. Open to any recommendations please (books, personal stories, etc).

Anyone have experience in raising capital out of the Middle East (Jordan, Kuwait, SA)? Any experience in delivering solutions in that area? I am trying to figure out if a pursuit in that area is to much of a risk. Any insight is appreciated.

Really confused as to whether to incorporate my NY- based makeup startup as an LLC or an S-corp? Not based in NYC if that matters and no revenue yet. Should I be looking into Delaware at all (specifically a Delaware C-Corp) if I do plan on raising capital at some point down the line? Also - for any FDA lawyers out there, what is the problem with developing makeup (specifically foundations) with SPF? I've heard it's "heavily regulated." What do I need to be aware of? Thanks in advance !!

Hello, Can anyone share the real world process of sales pipeline in the IT company and process of acquiring new customer?

From reading a number of books and listening to a number of podcasts about starting a business, one underlying factor they all share is to have deep passion for what you do. How do you know what your passion is? I mean I think a lot about golf but i don’t think that’s a passion. It’s my hobby. I think most people just know.

Hi folks, I am working with a few friends on a fintech idea. I opted to build the marketing roadmapping strategy for the soft launch/prototype phase as I want to learn about the field. Any guidance where should I start? Any guidance, books, topics will be helpful 😊

I’ve been at BCG in the west coast for 3 years out of undergrad. I am looking to join a Series B/C start-up in some strategy/operations role. Any rough estimates for what I can expect for comp (knowing it’s variable)? TYIA

How do you pick a startup to work for? How do you make the bet it’s going to grow or fail? I’m told I should pursue startups but I’m admittedly nervous about getting hired to one that fails and being jobless. I’ve worked for big companies that don’t grow or fail rapidly - it’s all pretty steady.

I have started a side hustle with two friends. It's Climate Tech related. We have been working with it for the past year as a part-time hustle. We want to take it to the next stage.

My two other friends have a background in consultancy and one of them had a mentor who is really high up at a Big4. He would like to join the start up as a Partner. He seems really experienced and could help raising money, although he does not seem to care about climate change.

What would be a good offer?

How do you recruit for startups? Exhausted from lack of responses from cold networking. What else should I do? I am aiming for roles in early stage startups. Didn’t study or work for long in US so don’t have a strong network.
