Sam Holland’s Post

I recently sent a check for a referral 💰💰💰 that resulted in a paid contract. It's my favorite. 😍 The awesome guys at informal, Sam Holland and Nate Padgett NOT only work in Hardwarestartupland, NOT only work with a collective of freelance engineers 🤓🤓🤓 NOT only throw awesome parties 💃🕺👯♂️ .....like for Hardware Startup Meetups around the country AND at Studio 45 in San Francisco (check that place out if you haven't already), BUT ALSO - send referrals for potential Spire Starter clients, which allowed Me to 💌 send Them a check last week. 😎 cool, cool, cooool. You 👈 don’t need to be an engineering firm to get paid 💸 for referring Spire Starter to new, paying clients! Anyone can get paid. Only stipulation is I need a W9 from you if I end up paying you $💲600 or more in a year so I can send you a 1099-NEC for your taxes (if you're 'Muhrican). I pay 5% 🧮 of the first paid contract resulting from your intro! Want to make a referral BUT ---> we're not connected yet? Get in touch via the contact form on Spire Starter's site: SpireStarter.com #referrals #opticalengineering #illumination #commission #hardwareengineer #engineering #hardware #physicalproductdevelopment

Me waking up: what a lovely, normal day Also today: Men's Health writes about my poop https://lnkd.in/gFP9PpvV There’s a lot more in the article but just some of what I noticed after my month on a 100% ultra-processed diet: • Lethargy from blood sugar crashes • Inflammatory markers in my gut • Urgent need for a bathroom on a spicy food day • Katherine Champagne (correctly) observing that I was "radiating bad energy" Glad I did it once, not something I'd ever do again.

This new Lumafield x iFixit partnership is so cool. They're the experts on detailed teardowns and analysis for new electronics. And we're pretty good seeing everything going on inside. What a perfect match. Now we get interactive scans embedded within their teardowns. 🙌 Wanna look inside this new Google Pixel 9 that folds in half? Check comments. Courtesy of: Shahram Mokhtari

So excited to be a YG22 Finalist! I have never been much of an "awards" person (in no small part because I am eternally behind on making case studies for my projects) but like so many creatives, Young Guns was always the title I looked up to most as a baby designer—so to even be acknowledged is very full circle <3

I audibly gasped when I saw who this package was from— My Tidbyt Gen 2 is here! So psyched to set this up. 💪🏻💪🏻🤛🏻

Sharing to amplify this partnership between former informal client Mosi Tea & Dollar Tea Club. 🍃 We really enjoyed working with Mosi a few years back to help them get their tea diffuser ready for manufacturing. We can't wait to see what they do next! #startups #tea
