Trying to sum up the ride will have to wait for another post. Instead, I’d love to share some of the thoughts that riders shared after the ride (I kept them anonymous for privacy). One can meet people for ‘industry events’ over drinks 10 times and struggle to make a connection. But cycle with them for 3 days, and you would have made friends for life. Hope to see you in one of our future rides.

How can one enjoy a holiday when we have so many commitments (to work, family, ourselves)? In this post I outline 10 holiday hacks for founders from friends and my own experience.
Ultimately, success in your dream job is about setting up your own parameters. Managing yourself. Measuring yourself. Planning yourself. It will not only help you get the job, but also to succeed while you’re in it. For me the 100 day plan was critical then, in 2011, and it’s just as relevant today.

Israel is a hotbed for agtech in general, and water tech more specifically. It came from a necessity: a small country with limited fresh water supply, Israel needed to figure out how to desalinate water, save water, and irrigate the desert.
Often, the founders project their own values on the company, shaping the culture. Many successful CEOs consider culture as the number one risk to their startups. Learn why it's important and what you can do to shape you company's culture.
Day 9 of my 30 day blogging challenges. This year, 35.6 million Americans will use a voice-activated assistant at least once a month, doubling last year’s figure, forecasts eMarketer. Competition is heating up, and the potential these devices have extends far beyond the home into the car and workspace.
I embarked on a 30 day blogging challenge to restore my childlike curiosity for writing. Today is day eight and I focused on going with the flow. When is the last time you got out of your comfort zone?
