Wannabe startup founders should try living in a town of 1000 people.

It's a fantastic incubator for businesses people want (food, gardening, in-home care, comfortable social venues, in-person entertainment, machine servicing). Where anyone, no matter how amateur, can make a start.

But if people don't need your thing, no amount of cold calls from suits will convince them otherwise.

Technically I know more startup founders than I can count.

All three of the gardeners I've hired started their own business. Plus the dog groomer, the work clothes shop, the fancy clothes shop, the shoe shop, the cafe, the fish and chipper, the drone mapping and services guy, the IT guy, both plumbers, the electrician... I could go on until I run out of businesses and people in this town.

Maybe the ideal startup incubator is a tiny remote dying town.

Mention of weight loss research (because it's funny)

Years ago I read about research that said people lost more weight with the addition of a small amount of almonds every day.

Specifically because almonds rewire your hunger response to expect almonds and therefore not bother.
