Great article by @NancyStabell
The Five Most Common Post-LOI Breakdowns

What Founders Should Do a Year Before Going to Market
1. Restate your financials on a GAAP basis.
2. Make yourself replaceable.
3. Do a comprehensive cleanup of your operations.
4. Vet your assumptions with outside eyes.
5. Build your deal team early.

My 2 cents
It's wild, but owners won't do the things that will make them the most money and then get frustrated in the end.
Next Thursday, I'm going to show owners how to make themselves replaceable....start making the changes you capture millions 90 days at a time

This video is incredible.
Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

If y'all think MAGA is in panic mode now, wait until Beyonce and Taylor Swift endorse Kamala Harris.

I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their:
• Biggest Regrets
• Biggest Lessons
• Advice to their younger self
Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same…
Here are my top 8:

TN state government currently funds on average around $5,500 of each child’s education — local governments make up the difference.
The proposed voucher is $7,075.
If you’re paying attention at home, that is MORE State money for each voucher than for each public school student.
We can do better…. This is ridiculous. We can do better…. – at Nashville, TN
Tennessee ranks 49th among U.S. states in helping struggling families and children, Vanderbilt report shows.

Just brilliant… – at Nashville, TN
Every time my husband and I get into an argument, we use one thing to defuse it...
The "Too-Small Trigger"
It may completely transform your relationship, it did for ours:
We were having trouble “picking our battles.” I’m a fiery latina who thinks they’re ALL battles. He’s an ex-military, no grey lines type.
So we started something…
How often do you look back on a fight with a significant other and think... that was dumb.
I can’t believe we got into it over:
• clothes left on the ground
• dirty bathroom sinks
• being 5 minutes late
• taking out the trash
Whatever.
We as humans do a terrible job at prioritizing when we’re elevated. So, we started doing this one thing mid-fight that’s a pattern interrupt:
When one of us starts to get upset, the other one listens for a second. Then right about when they’re going to start defending themselves and shifting blame… We instead say, “1 to 5?”
We ask the other person on a scale of 1 to 5 how important this is to us. And for some reason... It triggers the other person to pause, think about it, breathe, and then respond.
Sometimes it is TRULY a 5. Resolving this is really a priority. But most times it’s not. It’s a 1-3.
We say, okay it’s a 1-3. And we can have a discussion on changing it or our expectations. We constantly prioritize at work, but not well in our relationships. This changed the game for us.
Bonus framework:
Temperature Gauge.
Stop these arguments before they start. You can *feel* yourself getting riled up… Hot face, tight chest, grinding jaw…
Now we notice these signs and say, "Hey I’m feeling a little amped, can I calm down and we circle back?"
You take the blame upfront, and they get a willing partner on the backend.
*We certainly don’t have it all figured out, but we’re not afraid to get tactics from coaches and counsellors. I hope this helps you, too.

Please watch this video of STUDENTS HAVING TO JUMP OUT OF WINDOWS at UNC Chapel Hill for safety & ask yourself if this should be normal. This is why we are outraged, pissed off, & ready to vote out anyone who doesn’t take action. This is sickening.

I don't think I've ever endorsed a candidate for elected office, and I generally think endorsements tend to be a bit haughty and self-important.
These probably are too!
But I have specific knowledge of two candidates running for city office in Nashville that I'd like to share.

Polls are open!
We’ve travelled a long journey together to get here.
I’ve spent the last 500 days having conversations about how we deliver the city we deserve.
I hope I’ve earned your vote. What we do in the next 20 days will determine our city’s future. See you at the polls!

Rep. Warner tried to call the question in cmte on HB7064 before ANY discussion could take place. This week, the supermajority has shown it’s afraid of paper signs, mothers, adult conversation, public debate. Perhaps they should find a job for which they’re actually qualified. – at Nashville, TN

Today when I was dropping my child off at school, I never made the parking lot because of the police cars, the fire trucks and the ambulances.
We watched scores of kids that had already been dropped off being marched out of the building.
We went home
