Famous 5

Favorite Book?- The Hard Thing About Hard Things
What CEO do you follow?— Michelle Hayward and Amanda Lannert
What is your favorite online tool?— Droplr
Do you get 8 hours of sleep?— Yes
If you could let your 20 year old self know one thing, what would it be?— Remember that your work is all about your journey and your present impact, not necessarily the end result.

3 Key Points:

Many businesses have a problem recalling research they conducted in previous years. Services like KnowledgeHound seek to fix the problem by importing business data and applying a search engine.
For some entrepreneurs, the venture is not about the money – it’s natural drive that pushes them towards their goals.
For KnowledgeHound, pricing is dependent on the number of studies that need to be stored in their database.

Resources Mentioned:

Edgar – Nathan uses Edgar instead of other scheduling tools for Twitter because Edgar cycles through content over and over (buffer/others you have to re-input content over and over – time consuming). In the last several months, Edgar has driven Nathan over 3728 clicks that he didn’t have to work or pay for.
