This was the shitty and extremely tiny studio I lived in Boulder, Colorado from 2010-2011.

It was a tiny place where I started to execute my dreams. A period when I decided to change my life completely, sell everything I had, and apply for Boulder Digital Works.
I took a big risk and it was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.
As we roll into 2014, stumbling upon this picture has a special feeling of accomplishment combined with the perception I had to fail so many times before things started to work out (and certainly will in the future).
It's time to hustle.
Genuine appreciation doesn’t come from others. It comes from not allowing any external circumstances to be in your to be in your way.

About a month ago I was in Porto Alegre, a city that I love in Brazil. I had an opportunity to do a keynote on the state of the market in VC-Latam.
