How I Responded to a VC Who Bashed My Clip

0:00If the cost is peace of mind, don't buy it. Why? >> I use the peace of mind as a as a indicator for breaching values. So that's the I want to become known rather than and sacrifice my reputation in order to do so. And so for me, I would lose piece of my like right on the edge. I'm like, I don't know, this is a little bit edgy. I had a guy um who shared a bash clip of me. And

0:32>> what's a bash clip? >> Oh, like somebody like took my clip and then was like, "This is wrong." Whatever. >> And um and so I looked at the guy's profile and I saw he was a VC and I was like, "Huh, okay. >> I know who this is." >> Oh. And so I DM' him and I was like, "Um, do you disagree with this?" And uh he said something and then I just eviscerated him uh and he was like, "You're right. I overstepped because I wanted to try and do a viral clip. You are fundamentally right and I was wrong." And so like that is what I would never want to be. Like that is disgusting to me. And so the cost of making a viral clip to try and trend jump when I know that fundamentally the thing isn't right is not worth the price. Real quick, if you're a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So my team and I put together the $100 million scaling roadmap, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly where they got stuck and how they got past it. And so we broke it into these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources, and finance. And so no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information, and if you want us to actually help you deconstrain the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out on the thank you page. You can just book a call with my team and we will look into business, see if we can help.

2:20And if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas and we'll do this in person live.
