Ask Us Anything question: 

• "Do you know anyone that has gotten big commercial success from their project? Examples: tea cozies in every Walmart, dog toy design sold to a big pet brand, did evaporust start as someone's solution in their own basement? Or is any dream of this nought but a fictional pipe dream?" - @warrenmatten

Ask Us Anything question:

Ask Us Anything question:

• "How often do you allow yourself time to sit quietly and remember the broad plan? We get so bogged down with making the next decision or dealing with the barriers to making, that we might not revisit the overall schema it fits in. The ultimate goal. Becoming world renowned for expertise; turning it into a business; raising kids that aren't fuckwits, making it to retirement. It's worth remembering your framework within which every smaller thing fits. So how often do you get to? Do you make time for it?" -  @warrenmatten
