Alright Alright Alright⌠Go Outside
Sensible Woo is the mind. Sasquatch Media Grounds is the muscle.

If youâre attending and youâve got a conference badge, come say hello at Skybox on 6th. Iâll be closing out the Futures track on Sunday, March 15 at 3pm...
Why we love small talk đŁď¸
Hey Reader, This is the weekly announcement for The Awkward Handshake, a podcast & community all about networking that I co-host. If you want to opt-out of these podcast & networking community updates, CLICK HERE. Megan and I have heard many people say that the number one reason they donât attend networking events is because they hate small talk. But we personally love small talk because thereâs no better way to get to know someone. Letâs be honest, you canât just jump into deep,...
Boil âEm, Mash âEm, Publish âEm đĽ

Youâre more than your elevator pitch đ§
Hey Reader, This is the weekly announcement for The Awkward Handshake, a podcast & community all about networking that I co-host. If you want to opt-out of these podcast & networking community updates, CLICK HERE. Most networking advice says you need to perfect your elevator pitch. But what if thatâs the wrong goal entirely? This week on The Awkward Handshake, Megan and I sat down with Kel Moody to talk about why people are so much more than the one-line explanation of their business â and...
Draw Me Like One of Your Indie Creators
Sensible Woo is the mind. Sasquatch Media Grounds is the muscle. Hey Reader, Welcome to billionaire theater⌠the plot twist nobody saw coming. Netflix was circling Warner Bros. Then their CEO makes a little White House visit and suddenly⌠theyâre out. Enter the Ellison family, hot and heavy, ready to scoop up one of the largest content libraries on the planet. If you felt a chill run down your spine, congratulations⌠your pattern recognition still works. Letâs refresh the stakes. The Ellisons...
So you want a Yes Friend?
Hey Reader, This is the weekly announcement for The Awkward Handshake, a podcast & community all about networking that I co-host. If you want to opt-out of these podcast & networking community updates, CLICK HERE. When Megan Eckman and I are out at networking events and we tell people weâre Yes Friends who go to events together, we frequently have people say, âOh how fun! I wish I had a Yes Friend!â So in this weekâs episode, we thought weâd dive into the steps we took to get to this type of...
Scrappy Is Cute. Infrastructure Wins.
Sensible Woo is the mind. Sasquatch Media Grounds is the muscle. Hey Reader, When I opened Sasquatch Media Grounds, I knew Iâd be early to market in VancouverâPortland. This region worships the scrappy origin story. The duct-tape-and-dreams mythology. I love an underdog⌠but I also canât ignore the irony. For a crowd that loves to posture about anti-capitalism, yâall sure do love buying gear. đŽđ¨ Mics. Cameras. Interfaces. Lenses. Then you slide into my inbox asking which SaaS stack to...
How do you network when youâre an introvert?
Hey Reader, This is the weekly announcement for The Awkward Handshake, a podcast & community all about networking that I co-host. If you want to opt-out of these podcast & networking community updates, CLICK HERE. Stop me if youâve heard this before (and it could be because the words came out of your mouth): "I donât do networking stuff because Iâm an introvert." Well guess what? Introverts can network too! In this episode, we had Nedra Rezinas, the founder of Quiet Networking, come on as a...
Red Envelopes & Rented Land
Hey Reader, Social media is the foyer. And you cannot live in the foyer⌠no matter how good the lighting is. During the Lunar New Year discourse cycle, I ran a small experiment in algorithmic volatility. I went on Threads and intentionally posted something that fit the platformâs current bloodbath energy just to see what happens when a relatively quiet account stops being nice. Compared to what was flying around that day, my take was mild. Identity-adjacent. Timed for peak emotional tension....
Benito Bowl beat the studios đ
Sensible Woo is the mind. Sasquatch Media Grounds is the muscle. Hey Reader, No, I am still not over Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl. Not even a little bit. What I saw wasnât just a halftime show. I saw solidarity. Joy. Visibility. Celebration in the face of systems that would prefer certain voices disappear quietly and permanently. And instead of shrinking, they turned on the mics. We will not be silenced. That was the message. I saw a creator post a slideshow about Benitoâs path⌠from bagging...
