@gaberivera when you go to pass the 90%-as-fast guy, does he speed up to not let you? Because men do this to women which is even more annoying.

Now seems like as good a time as any to share. We’re moving to Austin! . We started with a two month Airbnb and frankly couldn’t imagine not staying. First home purchase, closed two days before the storm/shitshow of last week. No regrets though. ❤️ LFG!

This article may cut deep for some (me!) but it’s bang on and important. Key points include: .- work long hours when needed. Be intentional about it.- some elite orgs seek out “insecure overachievers” .- colleagues who work less hard may know something you could learn from.

Working exceptionally long hours is more a reflection of your insecurity than your dedication.

On this day 29 years ago, my grandpa tried to take his life. Luckily, he failed. We lost him 25 yrs & 2 days later. One of my mom’s friends sent her this, to acknowledge the “occasion”. Brought me to tears, dining solo in one of my fave restaurants. Reach out to those you love.

It’s weird to work in communications because companies, especially startups, try to “get by without it” for as long as they can. As if a compelling story that can guide other aspects of your business is somehow a nice-to-have.

The Dyson car news. man. It’s easy to be an outsider and use news like canceling a major project to bash a company but decisions like that are hard and many - in this case several hundred - people have dedicated tremendous time and energy to that work. Tough day, I’m sure.

Oura is cool because while you initially focus on sleep (I was obsessed for first 9mos or so), you later move to things like HRV and the importance of easy days (a concept not typically in my life). I can’t think of a product that’s changed my behaviors and life so directly.

Get yo ass outside! . That is the best wfh tip I can offer, after doing it two years at Dyson. Go out in the morning as you would on a normal day. And get out at the end of the day too. The leaving and coming home rituals are important and can remain. Your soul will thank you.
