42Floors is a magnitude bigger than my company (http://periscope.io) and has always seemed like one of those runaway startup successes that we aspire to and occasionally despair of. Reading something this is incredibly motivating. Thank you for writing.
This is why I am always so impressed by your writing Jason. Thanks for
1) taking to the time to write these articles and the more advice-style ones, they have always been useful to me as a founder and
2) being honest and open (to the extent appropriate) in these articles. Being a founder is an exercise in self-doubt above everything else, and its important to talk about.
You've got a nice website there! Though it is impossible to read without zooming out on a non-widescreen monitor. The page overflows to the left and right.

One of the reasons I wrote that post a year ago was that I had to own up to the fact that we looked better than we actually were.

How very un-Internet-y of you. :)
