There’s an intense, vibrant, electric energy in the air amongst some JP founders right now. Some of the action going down is as follows:

As we enter into an economic climate that teeters on or falls into deep recession, the next 6 months of wickedly great execution will set the table for those who will run the next 6 years.

Closing Remarks

JP founders: if you’re not on the cusp of de-risking your last bullets or can’t seem to figure how you’ll do so by EOY, giddy the hell up.

Why? Because it’s in the air.
