Founder at Tiny Hearts, an award-winning app studio, and Busy Building Things, a brand for people who make ideas happen. I previously started and sold an invite-only social network.
Keynote’d. Had a great time sharing my entrepreneurial journey with high school students yesterday. Lesson of the day - look at school as your day job and make stuff on nights and weekends!
Had a fun time talking about getting entrepreneurial at AppsWorld. Thnx @mobileraj for mod’ing #lategram
Vision Without Execution Is Hallucination
It’s been a long journey for Busy Building Things.
The idea started two years ago as a motto to keep our spirits high between late night launches and early morning stand-ups. When we brought our whole team together, we decided to turn the conversation into a community, and eventually, we turned the idea into physical prints. For us as entrepreneurs and makers, thinking about the idea wasn’t nearly as much fun as making the idea a reality.
That’s why we’re so personally invested in today’s launch of the Make It Happen print series. Make It Happen is a philosophy that separates the do-ers from the dreamers. It’s for real artists that focus on results, block out distractions and ship every time. There are no “idea people” here; we’ll take results over promises any day. We all have the capacity to dream, but great ideas are meaningless without effective execution.To show our gratitude this weekend, we’re sharing a discount code that entitles you to 15% off the whole store (use the discount code - BBTHACKFRIDAY). The discount is good until Tuesday. We’d love to get your feedback before then, too - drop us a note at get@busybuildingthings.com.
In the coming months, you can expect previews of even newer products, stories to help you make your projects successful and ideas on how you can be a part of our shared story at Busy Building Things.
Until then, keep shipping and have a great Hack Friday. #busybuildingthings
FUN. InstaMatch is an iOS app that turns Instagrams into a memory game (like the one you might’ve played as a kid).
It’s only slightly more challenging because the pairs of photos are actually two different photos that are similar. Extra fun tidbit: you can play with 2 or 4 players.
Stumbled across an old issue of Wired Magazine from two years ago featuring Pocket Zoo. Man time flies! Two years later I’m still blessed to be doing what I love. 3rd app on deck! #busybuildingthings
