The Playbook – what the water (oceans and pools) taught me about entrepreneurship

Last week I was the featured guest on The Playbook, a series put on by Geekwire focusing on athletes turned entrepreneurs and the lessons they draw from sports. John Cook did a bunch of research about my swimming and sailing past and even dug up some dirt from my brother (we founded 2 companies together). It was a fun and personal conversation that gets at a lot of my past, present and even some future.
A good summary of the event is here — https://www.geekwire.com/2019/save-rupert-murdochs-finger-startup-lessons-entrepreneur-t-mccann/
Video of the whole session is here
And, we were lucky enough to have Guillaume Waitr there to do real-time sketching of the event and my key points.

Thanks to John Cook and the whole Geekwire crew for having me at the event and all you do to help the PNW ecosystem thrive!
