Common Sense

I thought I’d share a couple thoughts with you this Friday. First, I spent a lot of time with VCs prior to becoming one myself and two “pearls of wisdom” seem to constantly come to the forefront in this industry. The first maxim is “don’t be greedy”. Venerable VCs will tell you that any time you get greedy bad things happen. The second maxim is “don’t be stupid”. This latter advice is easier said than done, to be sure, but a fair amount of this industry is predicated upon old fashion common sense. My second thought this Friday afternoon is about a different common sense — Common Sense the band. They are one of my favorite bands and, it just so happens, Rob Barnett has a nice post about them (and me) that you can check out here. While you’re visiting My Damn Channel, make sure to vote for them for this year’s YouTube awards by visiting The Night Feed and following the instructions. Until next time, exercise and listen to Common Sense.
