CEO Duties — Some Assembly Required?
Big Red Car here. Early start today. Big doings.
So The Boss is meeting with a VC friend. Yes, The Boss is friendly with some VCs. He does almost always side with CEOs but VCs are not all bad.

Asking For And Getting A Raise
Big Red Car here. Ahhh, the ATX is just glorious these days. Cool weather. Bright skies. Longhons crushing it.
Uhhh, well, two out of three isn’t bad, no? Poor Horns. But we did beat Oklahoma and that’s a huge deal.

Harnessing the Power of a Crisis
Big Red Car here. We’ve been having a bit of rain here in the ATX. And that, Old Sport, is a very good thang as we are needing some more water in the lakes just now.
Look here and see this short video of the torrent of water flowing through Barton Springs. If you don’t know Barton Springs, then you don’t know Austin.

Fundraising developments
Big Red Car here. The Boss is back in town through the rest of the year — well, except for a visit to NYC and a couple of weeks of skiing in early December. The Boss likes that skiing. It’s already snowed in the Rockies.
This morning he was up early and had a conversation with one of his CEOs that he’s had about a thousand times — raising money. It’s what CEOs do whether they like it or not.
Most CEOs do not like raising money.

CEO Coaching and Advice
Big Red Car here. Well, Old Sport, you know what’s next, right? Haha, great day in the ATX, ya’ll. Warm, clear, sunny and glorious. On Earth as it is in Austin, By God, Texas!
So The Boss is talking to one of his brilliant CEOs and they get into the subject of CEO coaching and all things related to advice.

Who Do You Work For?
Big Red Car here. Ahhh, the weather in the ATX is just about perfect. Flirts with a high of 90F and sunny all day long and then a low of the high 60’s or low 70’s.
Can you say purrrrrfect? Yes, you can. Haha, Big Red Car, cut it out you’re making folks feel bad.

Stop the Guilt, It’s OK to Work Remotely
Big Red Car here. The Boss is wandering around on Daufuskie Island — apparently the most relaxing place he has been in a recent series of very relaxing places.
Spotty cell phone service and weak Internet service but I think that may all be a subterfuge to avoid and ignore the rest of the world. He can be like that sometimes.

Taking Advice
Big Red Car here. Going to be a great day. Me and The Boss have already been for a good swim. I let The Boss swim while I keep an eye on things.
This morning, clear and when The Boss looked out his office window, there was the UT Tower shining bright in the before dawn light.
It doesn’t get better than this — On Earth as it is in Texas, ya’ll!
