Great posts here Ryan. I’m trying to follow your path (on a much smaller scale) and let go of every detail with my own firm over in Charlotte. I’ve followed you for many years (Intellicontact Pro, Broadwick, etc.) and am continually inspired by your growth – personally, professionally, socially, etc. All the best to you moving forward!

I’m sorry to hear about your friend, partner, and mother battling health issues. Glad to know they are doing better and I wish them all the best.

And one more thing. The four hour work week is not a bad book about sticking to dreams, living a meaningful life, and avoiding work for work sake. I think it is meaningful for the person in the mail room to fortune 500 CEOs. Just thought I would mention it.

This is a really great opportunity which, hopefully, will help make Durham THE HUB for entrepreneurship! They also have a number of working groups that are looking for talent and leadership. To get involved, contact Elizabeth M. Linzer elizabeth.m.linzer[at]gmail.com.

Ryan,

Great commentary and bearing of the soul. I constantly brag about you to my new friends up in the Triad about how you’ve started the for-profit, been giving to Africa and of course the meetups. I wish you the best of 2010 and hopefully I’ll be able to see you in person again soon.

I actually meant to add that there is a nice “fireside chat” with Sergey Brin and Larry Page at Europe Zietgeist 2008 where they tackle the problem of how to stay focused on working on things which “change the world”.

The essence of their message is that 70% of resources(time, money, etc) should be spent on core activities. 20% on fairly radical ones, and 10% on the far out there long-shot stuff.

I would like to see “How to stay focused on changing the world” as a topic for a post down the line.
