An Introduction to Who I am and What I have done. Likely Part 1 of a longer series (will link).
Hey Friends, I am James :) I think it’s really been about 2 years since I have been in a true flow state. My mind is often occupied (seemingly for the worse), I am often anxious (looking for guarantees), and I spent a long time walking along a path that wasn’t mine. Along the way I have failed a bunch, learned a lot of lessons and met a lot of amazing people. This blog is going to track my journey of working through my intellectual and creative rut.
Here is some stuff I have done:
Envision- Built an Accelerator for Underepresented Founders. When I got involved with VC I saw 0 diverse companies get money. Our Co’s raised 25mm+ from top tier firms and we gave out 400k in Free Money. I ran the curriculum and worked with companies.
Contenda- Was their Chief of Staff for 7 months. Met some wonderful people, learned a ton about running a startup, and helped put out some fires.

If you are having trouble following the installation guides for Go, check out Go Bootcamp, which contains setups for every platform or reach out to the Hugo community in the Hugo Discussion Forums.

Next, make sure that you set up your GOPATH as described in the installation guide.
You can print the GOPATH with echo $GOPATH. You should see a non-empty string containing a valid path to your Go workspace; for example:
/Users/<yourusername>/Code/go
