Life of Fergus Burns
training a generation of fundraisers not company builders.

I fear we’re training a generation of fundraisers not company builders.

Rafer sez:
@bryc3 I think you’re a decade-plus late. My generation has that curse. That’s why so many of us are so vehement. We don’t want others to follow us down that ugly, multi-year surrendering path. I think the current folks are doing a decent job reversing that industry genetic flaw.

For context, I’m 42 and got to the valley in April 1992.
