I held off for many years on writing a post on Board Meetings. Why? Because every investor in the world writes lengthy posts on How to Have a Great Board Meeting. How to Have a Great Pre-Board Meeting. How to Have a Great Board Meeting Week. Etc. etc. etc. etc. VCs, once they have been doing it a while, basically become professional Board Members, and they write a lot about that.

Dear SaaStr: Should I exercise my stock company stock options if they are $7 underwater? Stock options can be really unfair to employees by their nature. Almost no one has the facts to actually know what to do what them. And fewer still even have the financial background to know what to do with the facts even if they have them. I don’t even know what to do with stock options I have myself from many companies.

When I first started my podcast back in 2019, I didn’t plan on it becoming a marketing channel. I had recently quit my job to start my own operations consulting business and was listening to entrepreneurial podcasts trying to learn more. Most of them, though, felt like the curated version of a business owner’s story years later, and I was craving someone to share their experience while they were in the thick of it.

Let’s get something out of the way right at the beginning: We already know Apple’s Vision Pro device consists of a bundle of bleeding-edge technologies competitors can’t easily emulate. How do we know this? Because supply chain reports claim the lenses used in these devices are hard to source. Ergo, they are hard to manufacture. This particular production bottleneck is also a competitive advantage for Apple — it means its solution is hard to imitate.
