    What are you going to do now with actionstalk?

    We've opened up a lot in terms of what vids/interviews we will
    include. Since Blake and I don't live in the same city anymore it's
    tougher to only include interviews we film.

    Also it's treated as a side project...post when you can vs we need a
    post or 2 per week.

    how do you think this would have turned out had you been successful?

    ive been meaning to adapt my emotional variance post to entrepreneurship for quite some time. the general concept is here: http://bit.ly/vtyQp

    my guess is just bad luck

    Sorry for the delayed reply.

    AT was a success in the sense that it's opened some doors for me. However, I
    think it could have been larger had we tried to scale it better. Trying to
    build a network of content contributors would have been a good use of our
    time. We did a bit, but this effort could have been better.

    Your essay is exceptional. I read it over the weekend and seriously your
    take on the effects of our emotional variances due to our experiences is
    really fascinating. I think there are positive and negative reactions that
    come from a failure, and which one you decide to listen to is critical in
    determining whether or not you'll be a good entrepreneur.

    Good read folks, check out http://bit.ly/vtyQp

    I think you would have had a different experience had you worked in
    parallel-- multiple projects and then focusing on one once something sees
    traction. Not only would that help the emotional variance, but it increases
    your expected value.

    Definitely would agree with you.
