When Sec Treas Janet Yellen was appointed, she inherited a steady string of Trump Era/Pandemic inflation at a rate of 1.5%. If she had advised the new President, “Steady as you go, Old Boy” things would have been hunky dory, no?
Suppose you are a CEO/founder of a company that has MVP (minimum viable product) in the rear view mirror and are scaling — “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!”

Big Red Car here. It is particularly sweet here in the ATX this weekend. The azaleas are starting to bloom. This is why one lives in the ATX.
On Earth as it is in Texas, ya’ll! Continue reading
Big Red Car here. Hope you are well. The sun is out and shining here in the ATX. Sunny and only in the mid-40s today. But, ahh, ain’t it grand.
So The Boss is talking to a few of his brilliant CEOs about a favorite topic — the derivation of pre-money value. Pre-money valuation indeed!
Big Red Car here, ya’ll. House sitter and I been having a damn wild time with The Boss in the Big Apple. [Do not tell The Boss but we’ve been cruising the ATX and the Hill Country and been down to San Antone to Mi Tierra for some real Tex Mex. Ahhhh, burp. Ooops, sorry.]
Big Red Car here. Wow, we had a very nice rain last night replete with lightning, thunder and wind. Ahhh, it was the best. We desperately need water to fill the area lakes. The lakes have been down a bit since 2011 but they are building back with the recent rains. In the last month, water levels are up almost four feet.
So today we finish up our discussion on the nature of Board duties. We began the discussion here <<<link, so check that prior post before launching into this one.
Big Red Car here. Crisp cool morning in the ATX. It’s 45F looking for 75F later today. Ahh, on Earth as it is in Texas, ya’ll. Perhaps in Heaven as it is in Texas?
So, The Boss is talking to one of his brilliant CEOs and the CEO laments the difficulty of achieving balance in his life and work. It is a common refrain and The Boss has heard it before and will hear it again, I am sure. This is not a unique problem.
Big Red Car here. Nice windy and cool day in the ATX. Kind of hard to figure what kind of day this is really going to be? We shall see. Cloudy with thunderstorms is what the Intellicast man says. Who really knows, it’s Texas.
So the Big Red Car gets an email — haha, the Big Red Car gets an email — from an Old Sport who asks:
“Hey, Big Red Car, this C Level Employment Agreement stuff is great for a CEO but what about us guys in the cubes? We ain’t chopped liver, we’re software engineers, SEO experts and the like. How do we get some diluted CEO love?”
