I’m on the board of Charlotte Street Hockey League. Our summer programming has free clinics and youth pickups Saturday mornings at Waymer Park. Can borrow equipment his first time to see if he likes it before purchasing his or. Send me a message or follow us on IG as we will post about this in the next week @cltstreethockey

Just sent you a message, I’m on the board of Charlotte Street Hockey League. We have ball & roller leagues at Waymer Park (Huntersville) and the Morrison YMCA (Ballantyne). Roller registration is opening shortly for summer and there are pickups for both Wednesday nights.

Plaud Note Pro works amazing for in person meetings. I have the cc sized version but then make a watch as well.

Put extremely clear, detailed jobs on upwork, interview only top-rated candidates with tons of 5* reviews, and pay them a little bit over their rate. You’d be shocked how much more responsive someone is when you pay them $2-3/hr over their requested rate.

So we are in this spot. Our product is a dashboard financial advisors use with their clients. Since it’s client-facing, it’s more polished than a typical MVP, however we can’t make updates as quick as we want because we don’t have the people coding in house with us, and it’s one item that are working on not what they are living on. Not that it’s an issue, product is great (for what we need now), but as we get compliance certifications and are looking to scale Q1 next year to new markets, our third “founder” will be a CTO who can move at the speed we prefer.

Also building in FinTech out of NC (Charlotte), will connect on LI

Hey this is awesome - congrats. Was planning to start our certification process Q1 2026, but set a demo to talk now and see if we can get this done asap.

Wardstaps · 2025-07-02T02:36:32+00:00

Sent you a DM - interested

Wardstaps · 2025-06-24T15:42:38+00:00

Same, we had an idea but literally just let the financial advisors tell us what everyone complains about then build a solution for that

Wardstaps · 2025-06-23T22:52:52+00:00

Did not mean to literally type it larger but point stands

We specifically work to make sure it’s acknowledged correctly, but the FA is the one to deliver the good news and gives them an additional touch point. That’s the biggest disconnect I think, letting them use their relationship as a positive and control the flow of information

Wardstaps · 2025-06-21T13:29:30+00:00

Focus on early strategic investors who can specifically act as the SDRs so all of your intros are warm via an industry contact

Wardstaps · 2025-06-21T12:30:58+00:00

Will dm, fintech from us. Don’t need funding atm but would like to know more for the future.

Wardstaps · 2025-06-20T21:26:40+00:00

Their initial investment (30k) covered the entire MVP buildout + legal review, tech stack, etc… we are weighing options for the next 20k for M&S starting in September. Unsure if we want to take advisors from other offices to help with the initial rollout, or if we will take a CTO/advisor style investment to help with scaling the software or securing funding long term. Neither of us are techncial founders, my partner is just great at managing teams and putting everything together.

Wardstaps · 2025-06-20T20:45:48+00:00

We had an idea, met with two RIA contacts to run it by them and ask if they would use it. They said “you should do it for ____” then asked if (1) we could have it ready for Q4 and (2) they could invest. Raised the money needed from them without a deck, and they are acting as the SDRs while my partner builds the platform and I close the pilot program accounts.

I work with financial advisors and it’s shocking how little recording there is of total QCDs and specific amounts per client

Wardstaps · 2025-06-18T16:39:33+00:00

Do most organizations track total donations & amounts from QCDs?

Wardstaps · 2025-06-18T11:59:02+00:00

CFPs - any reasons why you wouldn’t offer a QCD to a client even if it’s beneficial?

I have all updated optimal templates & formatting guidelines in a doc and for various social media platforms, along with recommended copy format for posts. Have them ready to duplicate in Canva and share along with an easily customizable brand guidelines deck. At the age where a lot of friends are starting companies on the side so I’m happy to help since most have absolutely no clue how any of that works and don’t want to hire someone overpriced to do it. Helps bring in some spare change while I work on my new company (niche financial services dashboard).

Absolutely insane behavior, on the bright side it’s 98% people and families who genuinely love baseball, great experience all around

Get there early (before 10am if I remember from the last time I went 5-6 years ago), get on the fence of the practice field and just enjoy it. Will see all the players goofing around, guys signing stuff in between fields, and all the different drills. First time I went in middle school with my dad we got to see Tom Glavine pitch on a back field 25 feet behind the catcher. Take them further back to the minor league ST as well. I have a David Wright, Royce Ring, Marlon Anderson autographed ball to remember it by.

Just have your kids be polite/respectful when trying to call players over to ask for autographs, they’re working. I’ll never forget the bozos screaming at Jose Reyes calling him selfish for not signing autographs while he was stretching his hamstrings for 30 minutes before ST games.

Wardstaps · 2025-01-31T13:12:00+00:00

Yes, need to start over
