My Sunday routine always includes seeing what’s new from the @LEAVEYOURMARKxo pod. I forgot that today it was me! Thanks for the fun convo, @AlizaLicht. https://t.co/pUPtSy1PUe
Can you imagine launching a women's suiting startup in February of 2020? This founder did, and @suitablynyc is now thriving. I learned a lot in this conversation with its Founder & CEO, Annabel Gatto. https://t.co/xC4plT80ru

Promising example of a RMN publisher populating ads on another RMN, and a natural synergy here for both hosts & advertising brands https://t.co/SrjAtjxjQp
Tonight at 8pm ET I’ll be doing a free personal branding talk on @TalkShopLive. Live Q&A in the chat and order a signed copy of ON BRAND. It launched April 18th and is still the #1 new release in job hunting & careers! Set your alarm and join here later: https://t.co/NMMv5gA2fh
Today is @theriveterco's sixth birthday. We had three years of magical, explosive growth. And then we've had three years of a hard, painful pivot. But we're still here. And we're growing again. And it's really exciting.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it. Truly.

I was mid-field/halfback in soccer & field hockey. Had to be able to run the whole field, spot gaps/opportunities, and be ready to help shore up defense, assist with a goal, or score.
Fascinating to reflect on how similar this is to how I work.
it's so interesting to look at the correlation between the sport you played and how you work
i was on track and did the pentathlon (5 events). at work, i've been an individual contributor who juggles a bunch while being part of a larger team 🤝
