Like broke, broke. I had just recently left my Dad\u2019s company to strike out on my own.  And things weren\u2019t going well. I was on a job site early in the morning when a colleague of my Dad sidled up beside me.   \u201cTim,\u201d he said.  \u201cYou\u2019re an idiot and you\u2019re never going to survive.\u201d  I\u2019d like to tell you that I told him to shove it but I didn\u2019t.  I went back to my car and burst into tears. But looking back it was a good life lesson.  It\u2019s a dog-eat-dog world out there and you have to be tough to survive.   I\u2019m joined this week by Adam Bartman, co-founder of ReedWater.io.  The company is on the bleeding edge of water management technology.  His products allow plumbers and building managers to be able to quickly identify leaks and other problems and shut them down.  Together we talk about our respective origin stories and how we\u2019ve survived the many hardships of running a business. ___________________________ Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/timbyrnealmostlive Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/timbyrnealmost Facebook: http:\/\/www.Facebook.com\/TimByrneAlmostLive ","author_name":"Tim Byrne Almost Live","author_url":"http:\/\/www.timbyrnealmostlive.com\/","html":"
