Resurgence of Travel · Luma ✈️ In collaboration with Travel Massive and Neighbourgood Join us for an inspiring evening as we dive into the Resurgence of Travel — a conversation…

SF is the best place to build tech — but where’s all the travel tech?

I’m co-hosting a travel meetup in SF with @TravelMassive and @Neighbourgood

Tour operators, builders, creators — come hang.

🗓 Sep 23
📍 SF
🍷 Free, casual, and very much about the future of travel

Turns out it was just an internship 😭

Back before my co-founder was my co-founder, we used to joke, "that email should've been a text"

But it's amazing what a nicely timed text will do. Going from spam folder to a 98% open rate sure helps people show up in the right place 😉.

Seriously!

I had a nice side hustle helping other companies complete the A2P registration process in Twilio because they were too frustrated to do it on their own.

Maybe these spammers are just extremely patient 🤷🏽‍♂️

Nice.

I'm building an easy to deploy phone dialer for people who use Twilio.

I'll share a link when it's done. Hopefully this weekend 🤞🏽

I'm about to launch my first Chrome extension as well. I still haven't wrapped my head around how to promote it. So curious to see what you learn.

Wasn't expecting to feel so loved after canceling a flight!

Bravo, Southwest, for this well placed bit of copy🥰. Def brightened up my day.

Kind words, even when automated, can go a long way.

They don’t teach this in business school.

Too many leaders are stuck trying to “win” instead of actually building something great.

There’s a big difference.

One is about ego, the other is about impact.

Imagine how different the world would be if more people in power got that.

Second, do you really think I'd be flattered by complimenting some generic "skill" that I added to my LinkedIn profile 10 years ago and was never actually vetted?

Hate to break it you, problem solving is dead. And I suck at it.

Compliment my prompting skills and then you'll get my attention.

First off, if you're a person who uses the word "elevate" in your regular vocab, we probably wouldn't be friends.

LinkedIn messages = 🤮

"Hey Brent, your problem solving skills truly elevate every challenge you take on."

There are so many problems with this. And it's why I barely use LinkedIn anymore.

What better way to break through the doom and gloom than with a feature release?

It's a good day to unplug 🌴

Sometimes I wish WordPress would go away.

Sometimes as in all the time.

I feel dumber every time I use it 😵‍💫

Once you start using two, you immediately wonder how you ever survived working on one screen.

One might say... it's a slippery slope.

Same!!!

Is VC broken? I don't think so.

But where the money flows? That’s a different story.

When the same people keep getting funded, we miss out on so much untapped potential.

Backing underrepresented founders isn’t just fair—it’s smart. Curious to hear your thoughts.

Woooow! I'm familiar with the technique but had no idea they gave it a name.

But what if you're a literal snowshoeing company?

Why does it feel like I never get past the first step?

Reviewing telecommunication compliance info for Canada (fun I know).

Didn't realize how scandalous snowshoeing is 😲!

What am I missing here?

True story: I used to shower with my phone so I wouldn't miss a customer call. Fast forward 6 years and 20,000+ calls later, @chirrup.chat was born. Because no one should feel that kind of anxiety running a business. Tour operators need a new BFF, and we’re building it.

Gotta say it. The Bay is a magical place.

Big thanks to @inazarova.bsky.social from @evilmartians.com for hosting the Ruby&AI event! Loved hearing what @activeagents.ai and @kamil.fyi are building.

Love the SF #rubyonrails community 😁. Be sure to check out @rubyvideo.dev for other #ruby events

Bluesky is a safe place, right? Ok then. Here goes...

I'm a #49ers fan😭

There, I said it. I know I'm not alone. But that doesn't take the pain away.

The secret: start with a low number 🤣🤣🤣

We're raising a $1.8M seed round. All investors will be fed seeds upon closing.

My shoe game is weak. So I'm only here for your footwear opinions.

Trying to think of how I can turn my startup into a public space.
