Thank you for the kind words, I was just being self deprecating for the sake of humor, I'm not actually insecure about what I bring to any business teams in either the traditional or startup space. I've realized that it takes a team of individuals with unique and complimentary talents and a singular, unified vision. When you have those things, good things happen.

Thanks for the shout-out, I enjoyed the video.

That's great to hear. Sometimes, when people are self-deprecating, they are talking about their truth. I was hoping this wasn't one of those cases. :)

For sure, and there is certainly a part of me that would like to be more helpful on the technical side, if nothing else because I want things to get done more quickly than they do sometimes, but even if I worked hard to become somewhat proficient at programming, I would just slow people down. It's not my strength.

However, my strengths tend to be the things that programmers would not be strong at: Business development, customer relationship management etc. It takes a team, that's what makes starting and building businesses fun. It's not a solitary effort
