@bhalligan What a great letter. Thanks for sharing.

[Jim Wilson @JimWilsonSF]

@bhalligan 1000%. Feeling like I’m playing catch up every weekend.

@bhalligan Good CEO to have on long strange trip.

[Jim Wilson @JimWilsonSF]

Agree with all this. I think leadership in the AI-era will definitely be different. The ability to provide a vision/mission and get people motivated to follow it will still be required, even if it involves a pace of change that is 10x today. I think a new trait that will emerge is the ability to rapidly adapt and pivot to changes - in the market, in the tech stack, etc and crafting a new vision to adapt. Also - I used to think the best leaders in the SaaS-era had strong GTM instincts (you’re a great example). I *think* the new leaders will need to be more technically oriented to make smart decisions given the rapid change of underlying tech and the incredible choices (and risks) in this builder environment. It’s a brave new world - exciting and terrifying all rolled into one!

@bhalligan @sequoia @jack @roelofbotha Wow this should be a banger of a talk!

[Jim Wilson @JimWilsonSF]

@bhalligan I feel like you’ve had enough in circuit CEOs and would be cool to have a few off circuit that have unique super powers to share, or have skills you find interesting. Have you tried getting nominations from the community? They have all been great so far!

This article had me at the headline.

@bhalligan @bhorowitz @pmarca @elonmusk Oh man brought back memories of the interview questions at PTC: “what school did you go to? Response: Uh- I graduated from <Insert school>. Interview reply: “what??? I heard that’s the worse school ever and everyone who goes there is terrible!” ..a test of objection handling.

[Jim Wilson @JimWilsonSF]

@bhalligan Still remember the story of the “1 signal bar” on your cell phone. So glad you made it though and have recovered so well.

[Jim Wilson @JimWilsonSF]

@Kellblog I heard that “INSERT NAME” was also nominated.

@jasonlk Great article @jasonlk . Most compelling content I’ve seen to have folks attend SaaStr this year. I’m in!

[Jim Wilson @JimWilsonSF]

@bhalligan @winstonweinberg @harvey Love that acronym. I would leave at LOCK. Contrarian could be a subset of knowledge. Good one!

Btw, I'm relying on my @withdelphi clone to do the office hours for my class. Its good enough for the first pass.

Thinking about the brave people of Iran as they rise up against a repressive regime. Our daughter created this artwork a few years ago - it’s more relevant than ever right now.

[Jim Wilson @JimWilsonSF]

@bhalligan Has a great network, and loves to network more. Also huge amount of intellectual curiosity.

[Jim Wilson @JimWilsonSF]

@bhalligan Great advice @bhalligan - especially the board 360s.

[Jim Wilson @JimWilsonSF]

@bhalligan Good advice. Timing matters.

[Jim Wilson @JimWilsonSF]

@bhalligan So true, @bhalligan.
