A Crank, A Pedal, Tools & Entertainment
A literal hustle

Hey folks, happy almost summer. An action packed first note to you all! We're one turn of the crank into the production of the show, but in the meantime we've been up to a ton. We even have a special invite for you at the end, so scroll away.

A Literal Hustle

For the newly created Toronto Tech Fest, we thought we'd do something different than the regular schmoozefest. We rented out a... bike??.... from the good folks at Toronto Pedal Pub and forced entrepreneurs to hustle and pitch each other and investors. Let us know if this short feels like your life.

Tools on Tools on Tools

Chris & I spend equal (cough) amounts of time doing show stuff as we do exploring the world of technology, so we created a mini show called Tools on Tools on Tools. The pseudo podcast is where we share what's new in tech, what we're finding cool, and how this definitely won't get us divorced from our partners. We even have a section devoted to that. This week, we chat WWDC, 3D printing, and DASes. 🤓

Elsewhere...

I co-hosted the BetaKit podcast last week and we had on Chris Bryson from New School Foods - fake fish rather than fake beef. He's building this company in Canada, not the US. Have a listen!
