Wrapping up and saying bye

I had a relatively lazy and solo Sunday in Amsterdam. I think quite often when I am here, I feel as if I need to take advantage and go out and do things. Given that I’ve been here 8+ times in less than a year and half, I think it’s fair to assume that I’ve done most things in the city. It’s almost like having a different kind of fomo where I feel guilty for staying in my apartment and watching Netflix on a Sunday.

Last night, I went and saw 1917 in theaters and the cinematography was amazing. I am a big fan of war movies and 1917 was really well done. We don’t get to see a lot of WW1 movies as perhaps the storylines are a little better in WW2, so it was great to see a well done one.

Onwards…

I am in the process of wrapping up my LLC which my two best friends and I started 7 years ago. Since our launch, we ran a successful Kickstarter for Intervention, sold out multiple batches of Intervention, started and sold San Francisco Box, and explored various other business ideas.

The businesses were started out of boredom. I was very unfulfilled and bored with my first year of school. John was in law school and Francis was just starting development bootcamp. We had extra time, needed extra cash, and wanted to learn what it was like starting a business.

I want to write more about my journey doing all these businesses, but really what it came to was that we no longer had the time and if we were going to work on a business, it should be 100% in. The last couple that we launched or tried to launch were part time gigs which resulted in a part time business.

I’m going to focus on recapping my learning from these businesses in a future post.
