McKinsey partner: "I am not going to start researching glass cliffs as I don’t think it ranks in the top 1000 problems." Women CEOs have shorter tenures than men CEOs. Not studying a problem doesn't make it go away, it means it is ignored.@bethkowitt https://t.co/7UvSrG6Gaw

To everyone who reads my words,
You’ve probably noticed I write a lot about beauty and love and silver linings. I want to tell you something, the way I’d tell my own kids over dinner.

I don’t write this way because my life is easy. It isn’t, and it never has been. I’d hate for you to scroll past my posts and think, well, good for her.
Some days the beauty gets so big in me that I have to put it somewhere, so I put it here. What good is a sunset if you keep it to yourself?

But I’ve also been on my knees on the kitchen floor more times than I’d like to admit. Life has broken my heart and then handed me the glue, usually a bit late and usually the wrong kind.

I’ve come to trust that the mess is where the good stuff grows.
So when you read me, I hope you see an ordinary woman with flour on her shirt and a heart that keeps cracking open, who just wants the world a little brighter and is doing her small part.

Love you all,
kr 🤍

Ritu Narayan founded Zum after struggling to find reliable school transportation for her children. Today, her $1.7 billion company is bringing 21st century technology to a stodgy workhorse.

“Transportation is not just a logistics problem; it’s basically an on-ramp for students to learn,’’ says Narayan.

When an influencer posted an Instagram story asking where to find fun jewelry for spring and summer, Danielle Meyer replied and offered to send her some.

At the time, Danielle was making beaded jewelry alongside her corporate job at American Express and selling mostly to friends and family. The influencer wore one of her necklaces in a TikTok video, and the comments filled with people asking where it came from.

Danielle wasn’t working from a polished plan. She says she cringes at the early versions of her jewelry, packaging and branding. Before that video, she had spent about a year and a half selling at farmers markets and pop-ups, anywhere that would have her.

When the orders came, she kept improvising. She found women on Facebook Marketplace to bead at her kitchen table while she worked her day job from her laptop. When that stopped being sustainable, she found Melinda, who ran a jewelry assembly business a little over an hour away, and Melinda’s samples came back better than Danielle’s own work. By late 2024, Danielle had left American Express to run Spicy Dan full-time. After falling behind on orders as a team of one, she hired a third-party logistics company to handle fulfillment. Eventually she brought it back in-house to protect the personal, customizable feel of the product.

Her advice is to stop waiting for the perfect product, because “you can’t learn or iterate until you’re getting feedback.”

For founders, business owners and side hustlers, that means releasing the version you have now. Take the imperfect fix that gets you through the week, and treat every system as something you can change later. The progress comes from the adjustments, not the launch.

Study finds women’s mental load was independent of whether they held traditional or egalitarian views on gender roles. Even women who actively reject conventional domestic roles can still end up carrying this invisible management burden.

[Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl]

Study (N=1,400) finds when teams are 3/4+ male, women feel less comfortable admitting a mistake and less confident it will be seen as something to learn from. In female-dominated workspaces, that gap vanishes.

Ok. I’ve spent a whole day celebrating Karl Deisseroth’s very deserved Nobel (with every other brain enthusiast!). Now let’s talk about the brilliance of Dr. Michelle Monje, his wife.

A Stanford physician, neuroscientist and recipient of a MacArthur Genius grant, Michelle has helped pioneer cancer neuroscience, revealing how brain activity can fuel tumor growth and opening new possibilities for treatment.

And I say all this because I’ve been lucky to see her work firsthand and have been awe struck since the moment I met her. What makes Michelle extraordinary is the combination of scientific brilliance and her absolute unwavering commitment to children with devastating brain cancers. She is pushing the science forward because those children and their families cannot afford to wait.

Everybody deserves to know @michelle_monje.

You know who doesn't have the dilemma of dying or not dying their grey hair in order to get hired? Men.

When a meeting ends, do people leave knowing what was decided, who owns the next step, and when it is due - or only feeling that we had a good discussion? #leadership
