I cannot recommend highly enough BBC's Podcast, "The Rest is History". Having neglected history at school I'm rediscovering it now to find it fascinating and explains so much that is happening around us today. Having seen more of the world since I was 14 provides so much more context. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0d0mj5v

To pivot or not to pivot? Redefining your startup's strategy and pivoting is often worn as a founder's badge of honour. A rite of passage to true founder-hood. But is shifting the focus of your entire company inefficient, or even reckless? Businesses with an established revenue stream must keep introducing new revenue opportunities and attract new customers. Loyalty does not exist. This is not a pivot. Smaller businesses that have established PMF need a multi-year product roadmap. This must be diligently and robustly validated with their customers. Do not ignore what your customers want. This is not a pivot. Startups that are yet to reach MVP must combine attracting new customers with having a validated multi-year roadmap. Be reactive and be flexible. This is not a pivot. Startups that have launched and are struggling to gain PMF despite heavy marketing efforts are failing. They will eventually become a zombie company. Now is the time to pivot. Hard.

Bought a new knife today. Check out the difference in quality. Left has lasted ok. Right has thicker metal in the handle plus a wide casting at the end of the handle. Guess I know which will last a lifetime.

A new year and thinking about what I should change compared to 2024 (my 3rd year of beekeeping). I'll be treating for varroa using vapour this later this month rather than strips, so that's new. And no. 1 objective is not to lose bees to a swarm. Also considering doing the Basic course this year. You?
