But I do have mentors, friends, my wife, and other associates, and from time to time I&#8217;ve received input from them that has been of great value to me. One such event happened yesterday.

At first it was kind of fun as the water gently flowed along, and I didn&#8217;t fight it. But then I saw rapids up ahead and realized I was in trouble. I started [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s by the guys over at 37signals, who make the Basecamp project management software, which I&#8217;ve used for many years and have come to rely on heavily.

The phone call ended with me saying something along the lines of &#8220;No, thank you.&#8221; Where did this start?
