John Michael Cataldi shared thisThey Showed Up Anyway… My work takes me through airports constantly — and lately, I’ve been watching something that deserves to be said out loud. TSA officers have been showing up. Every day. Through a government shutdown. Without a paycheck. And they’re not just showing up — they’re doing it with patience and professionalism I honestly didn’t expect given the circumstances. Lines stretching out the door. Travelers who are stressed, frustrated, and in a hurry. And these men and women are absorbing all of it, still going out of their way to help. I travel to work with federally recognized tribal communities across the country — people who often exist in the gaps of the systems the rest of us take for granted. That work has made me more attuned to who quietly keeps things running while others aren’t paying attention. TSA is doing that right now. Next time you’re in line — even if it’s long, even if you’re late — I’d encourage you to look the officer in the eye and say thank you. Mean it. They’ve earned it. Please comment and share. #TSA #PublicService #Gratitude #Leadership #GovernmentShutdown

John Michael Cataldi shared thisRemembering Ernie Stevens, Jr. It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my friend, and one of Indian Country’s greatest voices, Ernie Stevens, Jr. For tribal nations, Ernie was more than a leader. He was a tireless advocate for sovereignty, for economic empowerment, and for the advancement of tribal gaming. His work created lasting opportunities, building schools, clinics, jobs, and futures across Native communities. For me, Ernie was one of three influential leaders who opened the path for me to serve Indian Country, first as a Board Advisor to the Vice Chair, and later as COO for the Seminole Tribe’s Economic Development. That guidance set me on a journey of nearly two decades of service to Native America, and for that I will be forever grateful. But what I will remember most is Ernie’s spirit. He lived with gratitude, generosity, and an energy that inspired everyone around him. He honored tradition while championing progress, and his “thank you to life” approach was as genuine as it was contagious. Ernie lifted people, motivated future generations, and never stopped fighting for a stronger tomorrow for our nations. Today, we have lost a true giant. Thank you, Ernie, for everything you gave, to me, to Native America, and to the generations yet to come. Journey well, my friend. You will be deeply missed, and never forgotten. #IGA #NIGA #IndianGaming #TribalGaming #NativeSovereignty #TribalNations #NativeLeadership #HonoringErnieStevensJr

John Michael Cataldi liked thisJohn Michael Cataldi liked thisNo one talks about the data room. Because it’s not sexy. It doesn’t go viral. And most founders think it’s “for later.” But the moment things get serious? You’ll wish you had it ready. ↳ Fundraising kicks off ↳ M&A talks begin ↳ A whale client asks for your SOC 2 ↳ You apply for a grant, award, or B Corp status 📁 Your data room is your business. If your files are scattered across Slack, Notion, 12 tabs, and a dusty Google Drive… You’re not ready to run one. Here’s how to build a data room that’s actually ready: 1/ Start with the basics ↳ Add the must-have docs for your stage (see visual) This isn’t a full due diligence checklist just a strong starting point. 2/ Keep it organized ↳ Label folders clearly. Set proper access for team and investors. 3/ Keep it secure ↳ Once you pass early traction, move off GDrive. Use a VDR with permissions + audit trails. 4/ Keep it updated ↳ Your metrics, cap table, and financials shouldn’t live in someone’s inbox. 5/ Make it accessible ↳ If it’s not easy to find and download, it’s not ready. And most importantly? Let it evolve. Your data room should grow with your business From Pre-Seed to Series C and beyond. Because the goal isn’t just due diligence. It’s internal and operational readiness. What else would you add to the list? ♻️ Share with a founder who needs this. And follow Mariya Valeva for more startup finance insights

Aim to create a “Whoa—this is exactly what I need” moment for your users. The Approach Depends on Your GTM Model: Whether they come from an email, ad, or other content, factor in the prospect’s mindset when they land. The conversation has already started. 💢 Secondary Pages (like pricing, features, etc.) are valuable but come into play after the intro pages have done their job. Focus first on the critical three and let those insights guide the rest of the site. Inspiration? Look at examples like Calendly, Asana, and Notion—but remember, what works for one startup won’t always work for another. Trust your understanding of how your customers expect to be messaged.

John Michael Cataldi liked thisJohn Michael Cataldi liked this12 Brutal Career Truths (Read this before it’s too late) 1️⃣ Hard Work Isn’t Enough → Results need to be seen. Advocate for yourself—quiet efforts get ignored. 2️⃣ Loyalty Won’t Pay the Bills → Companies are loyal to profits, not people. Look out for yourself first. 3️⃣ Your Job Title Is Temporary → Focus on building skills, not clinging to labels. Titles don’t define your value. 4️⃣ Your Boss Isn’t Always Right → Leaders make mistakes too. Challenge respectfully when it matters. 5️⃣ Networking Is Non-Negotiable → Your skills are important, but connections will open the doors. 6️⃣ Burnout Is Not a Badge of Honor → Work smarter, not harder. Protect your energy—it’s your greatest resource. 7️⃣ Comfort Zones Kill Growth → If you’re not uncomfortable, you’re not growing. 8️⃣ Feedback Is a Gift → Even the harshest feedback can teach you something valuable. Seek it out. 9️⃣ You’re Always Replaceable → Focus on making an impact, not being irreplaceable. Impact builds a legacy. 🔟 Perfection Slows You Down → Aim for progress, not perfection. Done is better than perfect. 1️⃣1️⃣ Career Progress Isn’t Linear → Side steps, failures, and pivots often lead to the biggest wins. 1️⃣2️⃣ No One Will Hand You Success → Take ownership. Push for opportunities. No one’s going to care more about your career than you. Reality Check: Careers are hard, messy, and unpredictable. But the truth is, you’re in control more than you think. Which of these truths hit hardest for you? ----- ♻️ Repost if you’re ready to own your career. ➕ Follow @ryanyockey for more

Study to determine and isolate the active compounds found within cartilage, given its avascularized nature, as a potential candidate to in creating alternative cancer therapies from exesting present anti-angiogenic factors. Research determined that tumors associated with cartilage, chondrosarcoma, is the least vascularized of solid tumors. Angiogenesis is one of the important factors in the development of a tumor. Discrete solid tumoral masses appear if the tumor cells can provoke the adjacent vascular network to expand to supply their nutritional needs. Therefore, the factors involved in the stimulation of angiogenesis have been studied for their role in the development of tumor and anti-angiogenic factors as well as drugs having an angiogenic inhibitory activity have been also investigated as tools for controlling the growth or for effecting regression of tumors.
