I'm good, thanks for asking. I haven't had a lot of time of late. I am in training for that new job and simultaneously working on the startup and kids...blah, blah. All good stuff, but I am normally of the mind that if I'm on Hubski, I will never "dial it in." I enjoy my time here too much to change the way I go about it. If that makes any sense?

But I'm good. How are you? I have a guy coming over to my house to spend the day with me tomorrow and teach me how to sell software. He flew in from South Texas to do so. That's kind of neat. I plan to get my "learn on," in the AM.

Off to bed.

Oh, and this album is the shit. One of the last shows I played with The New Green we covered "Center of the Universe." -Such a great song.

I work for a software company, we're in a weird place, cornered market share and now we grow by word of mouth and consumer reports-style recs. Not kidding -- 10000 employees, <15 in sales. Selling software is probably tough. Traditional methods like shady download packaging and 30 day trials and all that good stuff have put a lot of people on their guard. Hopefully you're B2B on a large enough scale that you know they need what you have, it's just a matter of who they choose to install.

Interesting dynamic.

Life is good, great. I keep things on a pretty even keel.
