Happy Tuesday fam,

Know a founder under 30 making a dent in the universe? Nominate them for a YEYAwards.com trophy. It’ll make their month seeing you nominate them and if they win, you both get a free ticket to our Vancouver summit Sept 13th.

Welcome back to Stay Curious — a newsletter I write once per week on 3 things keeping me curious, or I send one of you a 100 dolla bill for catching me if I skip.

Here’s what’s on my mind this week:

Our team’s hosting bringing together the top founders in the country under the age of 30 for a YEYAwards.com summit in Vancouver Sept 13th and a private dinner for the Winners in Whistler Sept 14th.

There may even be some free scandinav spa passes to hand out….

Some things we’re still looking for on our wish list (if you wanna be a nice human and help us):

  • swag partners for winner goodie bags

  • more founder nominations / applications to YEYAwards.com 

  • fun activations during event week in Vancouver / Whistler

Holler at me if you got ideas.

2. Short Form Video Agency Help

My friend recently launched a short-form video agency dedicated to building founder personal brands.

Trendspotting, scripting, editing, captions, and scheduling are handled end-to-end by their senior team, who knows your niche, your voice, and exactly what's working right now.

Wanna meet them? Send me an email: [email protected].

3. Hot Take of the Week

If you can’t picture yourself having dinner or wanting to spend more time with someone, don’t do a deal with them.

We become who we’re around.
