😬Tonight in a closed session I'll be sharing the fckup that almost cost me everything with the latest cohort of Startmate Manager fellows.
Committing to a fckup night as a speaker is an odd mix of stoke and dread.
As a founder you are always pitching to customers, investors and new team members.
That responsibility never ends so when someone asks you to speak at an event with smart and passionate leaders and tell them some the biggest mistakes you've ever made the intuitive safest bet is to decline.
But counter-intuitively by accepting and by turning up and sharing these fails you get at least two big wins:
1. You remind yourself that those epic fails are part of how you got to here +
2. You encourage those around you to not fear failure enough to make it the reason you don't do that thing.
I learnt this thanks to some OG mentors back in the early Muru-D and Fishburners days with Mick LiubinskasBen ReidAnnie ParkerAlan JonesMurray Hurps and many more with my first start-up Lime Rocket.
The culture of failing fast and learning faster is one of the most counter intuitive but under valued pieces of kit you can have so any chance to share that spirit with other founders is a good investment.
I can't wait to hear some epic fails too from generous leaders, founders and investors like Isis NairNatalie RobinsonHiam Sakakini 🤜🤛

COFFEE TALK -
CHRISTMAS COFFEE: AN OLD TRADITION MADE NEW AGAIN
Christmas is racing toward us at a breakneck pace! And with it comes the family traditions we love.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A CHRISTMAS COFFEE TRADITION, TOO?
Coffee has been deeply tied to Christmas for hundreds of years. In 19th century Scandinavia, Russia and Eastern Europe -- when people worked hard in extreme cold with few modern conveniences -- coffee was always included as either part of the Christmas meal or given as a Christmas gift, Sometimes both. Strong coffee was an exquisite commodity back then, and being able to enjoy coffee as part of the Christmas holiday was quite the luxury. To give it as a gift was considered both thoughtful and tasteful (pun intended).
The tradition continues to this day in many Scandinavian countries. In Greenland, friends have gathered for centuries to have coffee celebrations called Kaffemikker as an alternative way to celebrate Christmas together, rather than the traditional dinner.
In the Victorian era, coffee emerged in the American culture as the drink of excellence and first choice for Christmas dinners and celebrations. Families during this time even roasted the beans together before enjoying them at dinner! In an excerpt from the 1886 version of “The Kansas Home Cook-Book,” women talk in thorough detail about preparing the most perfect Christmas dinner: how to set the table, what to serve when, how to prepare it, what to garnish with and serve alongside main courses. After all of the courses are mentioned, and dessert and fruit have been passed, the drink of choice, coffee, is the end of the celebration.
“Last of all should come the little cups of black coffee, accompanied by cream and sugar. It should be of good strength, for well-bred and sensible people do not affect pale and watery decoctions after a hearty dinner.”
This love for coffee as part of the traditional Christmas meal isn’t found in just the cold, blustery corners of Europe and Scandinavia, or here in America; coffee-lovers in Spain, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Colombia and other countries where coffee is hand-grown and harvested also enjoy having a cup as part of their celebrations.
So when you’re enjoying your cup of The Right Coffee this season, hopefully every day but especially with family and friends at Christmas dinner, and maybe even sneaking a bag or two under the tree as gifts for fellow coffee-lovers, just know you’re partaking in a tradition that families from around the world have reveled in for hundreds of years!
Christmas lovers: our limited time Christmas Blend is back in stock! 🎄Start the celebration early with festive, smooth sips as you begin counting down the days to Christmas ☕️❤️ Shop here: https://lnkd.in/g8H7Qa56

Last month, I reviewed my most popular posts racking up almost 523,000 impressions.
And these [3] posts got the most views and engagement (collected here so I can look back and reflect on the journey so far):
1. I went to culinary school so our kids would want to eat my food as adults
2. Why Surgeons Should Make Money From Something Other Than Surgery at https://lnkd.in/g8YcBhD5
3. I would not be a lifestyle design entrepreneur today if I'd not been laid off at https://lnkd.in/g4Yy5RnF
My stutter step: In the past, I focused almost exclusively on physician branding. And I do want to build thought leadership for my niche audience.
HOWEVER
Lesson Learned: People want to know who you're becoming (personally).
Creators, do you have thoughts on this topic that may help other content creators review their content topic mix?
