Aereo’s Plan B?

June 28, 2014May 31, 2017 Jo Tango

I’m a very happy Aereo subscriber. So, I’m incredibly bummed that Aereo lost its Supreme Court case and has now stopped its service. I’ve interacted with CEO Chet Kanojia a few times and have always found him to be incredibly thoughtful and driven. When you read about his life story, you cannot help but feel inspired.

My Insanely-Faulty BMW

June 27, 2014October 30, 2024 Jo Tango

I am having a First World Problem, and so, it’s not the worst thing in the world. But, it’s been a test of my patience. And, it has been yet another reminder that material goods don’t make you happy. I bought a BMW for the first time three years ago. I did a lot of due diligence

Fly-Fishing Report

June 15, 2014June 15, 2014 Jo Tango

Happy Father’s Day! I don’t have time to write much this morning, as we’re about to leave the house and start our day. But, I did want to highlight a cool post from Leo Babauto called “The Essence of Fatherhood.”  It’s short, well-written, and, I think, full of wisdom. Please read it. Leo writes about his

A Big Step for Start-up Founders

June 12, 2014June 13, 2014 Jo Tango

I gave a talk tonight at Workbar. Aaron Radez coordinated and moderated the event. Now, I’ve given many talks, but this one felt special. Aaron was deft, and the audience seemed really engaged. For me, I stumbled on a new realization as I answered one question about entrepreneurs. I started to think that people who start companies
