Do you know the color of the grass you're standing on? It's hard to see the landscape from where you're standing so lets look over yonder. Jump in the Journik Time Machine and imagine it's the industrial revolution. Imagine all sorts of new contraptions contrapting away. Imagine that you're really not sure if light bulbs are from god or the devil. Imagine that vaccines are either a godsend or wicked sorcery. Imagine that rock and roll was actually satanic seduction.

Now, imagine that you and all your neighbors got one of those fancy PE Coach Megaphones. The kind with the red tip.

Now you know the landscape where you stand.

Good news is, the reverse is also true.

If you launch a tiny little social company that had absolutely no impact on the environment, healthcare, civil unrest, or financial crisis today, just before all these issues magically resolve themselves, it is again, your fault.

And you want to launch a startup now?

What are you trying to get off the ground? @journik me and lets talk.
