Or let's not reinvent the wheel.

But what if you want to improve the wheel?

Companies exist with a mission focused on improving the wheel.

It could be a cheaper wheel to make it accessible to more customers.

It could be a lighter wheel with improved aerodynamics for fuel efficiency.

It could be a high-performance wheel to use for racing or motorsports.

It could be a luxury wheel made from rare materials.

You could make custom wheels on demand.

Choose your material, sizes, design, and color.

You could reproduce old classic designs no longer in production for a niche market.

You could find other uses outside of a car or bike for wheels.

The wheel has been around long before any of us were born.

Do we still use the original wheel design?

Should we tell companies to stop improving the wheel because if it's not broken, why fix it?

Brewed by yours truly,

Christopher Kennedy

Daily Espresso Shot A specialty blend of startup wisdom “When one door closes, another opens.” I took an unplanned and unannounced hiatus from managing a daily newsletter. The break from the daily exercise brought perspective. It helps that major life changes have sparked a fire to start writing again. Since it has been a while since I last wrote- where do I begin? Since my last email, I have departed from my former employer. Due to personal circumstances, the CEO had to close the doors. In...

Stay ahead with continuous learning

Daily Espresso Shot A specialty blend of tech wisdom I've had the privilege of working alongside incredibly talented people throughout my career. Among them, two stand out today. Alex is a technical wizard. Jamie is a non-technical genius. As you might imagine from today's theme, Alex has an insatiable curiosity for new coding languages and developer tools. On a project we co-contributed to, we ran into a technical obstacle that required adopting 2 strategies. I adopted the safe strategy, but...
