About

Welcome to the new ShiftMode!

I'm Brydon and this is the home for my longer posts. I will be reposting some of those older posts here in Archives.

The old shiftmode is still available, containing over 300 posts but we're starting fresh here.

Signup here if you'd like to receive occasional updates via email.

Previous Writings

In the meantime, if you need a few recommended posts:

• Can we accelerate the entrepreneurial ecosystem by shortening the time between starts
• The Rise of the Entrepreneur which is a love letter to entrepreneurs and a call to keep gatekeepers at bay.
• In Respect The Game, Love The Grind! I compare building a business to winning at sports. This was cross posted at Startup North.
• When asked, I now tell people Do Not Start a Business!.
• Back in 2006, in Back to the Farm I wrote about how I feel we'll eventually view commuting to work as a failed experiment.
