The People You Meet

November 11, 2007 by Andrew Hyde Posted in Thoughts

The thing that has defined my life in the last year is community.

  • Who are you working with?
  • Who are you reaching out to?
  • Who are you helping succeed?

When I ran Endoze fulltime, I loved getting calls from outdoor professionals (like Steph Davis) that wanted to reach out and connect with their audience through a site or social media (even if they didn’t have a budget to work off of). Working on sites like that made me come alive, and every weekend I get to work with a bunch of talented folks being passionate and working together.

What a dream.

I don't always promote posts I write here, the only way to keep up on the banter is to to subscribe to my super low tech rss feed. I also do a quarterly newsletter, that is a highly non personal and always funny update on projects I am working on and trends I see in the web.



  • It's been great fun for us, as well!

    For this dream (or any other for that matter), please thank a Veteran.
  • @Blake yes indeed!

    @Loren wonderful meeting you.

    People are the cause and solution to all startups little problems. As a former executive recruiter (still am kinda), and a long time entrepreneur / entrepreneur supporter, I know first hand that the people matter most...period.


    Networks are important for sure - a known commodity is a good thing. But often startups have to go outside for a host of reasons for the right talent. And that is where the fun begins!

    Yea I totally agree, without the right people the venture will never succeed no matter how awesome the idea is. I guess the hard part is being able to search outside of your normal avenues for hiring.
