Start-Up: Ep 16 Why a Cactus?
Now, that we’ve been talking about characters coming to full circle, one of my favorite scenes in Episode 16 is the opening day of Grandma’s corndog shop.

Start-Up: The Meaning of the Titles
Early on, I’ve decided that the titles in this drama should NOT be interpreted only from the business point of view.

The Uncanny Counter: Ep 1 First Impressions
Why’s up with the title? Why are these people called the “counters” instead of “The Red Tracksuits” after their uniform? I can only think of four reasons: 1. The obvious one: the team fights evil. To counter means to oppose or to defend against something. The team counters the evil found in the city of […]

Start-Up: Ep 15 Minimum Viable Product, Part 1
Minimum Viable Product: A product with enough features to attract early adopters and validate a product idea Explicitly, it’s Tarzan.
