I’m not a fan of Vimeo. I don’t like paying for the service. But I do in order to display a video in a high quality format on our Terkel homepage. But, there’s gotta be some good alternatives to Vimeo, right? To find these alternatives, I asked the community at Terkel for the video platforms …

I wear a black Sportiqe t-shirt every day. Specifically, it’s a tri-blend Sportiqe “Comfy” T, and I’ve worn the same brand, color, and style for almost 10 years. Lil’ crazy, right? For me personally, it’s what I feel comfortable in. The material lives up to its product name (Comfy). And I respect the Sportiqe founders …

I love tech. I love CES. Self-driving cars can’t come soon enough for me. When I go to Las Vegas and see a $50k self-cleaning toilet, it’s cool. But in 2023, technology has come at an accelerated pace. It feels unprecedented. I don’t think it’ll stop, and I think it’ll cause some massive divide in …
The only reason why I can afford to take zero salary at Terkel is because I sold my marketing agency in December 2021. My family and I are purely living off the proceeds. If I hadn’t had sold the business to focus on and fund Terkel, I probably would have had to raise more money …
