Hey @NotionHQ

When will notion AI be able to set up automations? That would be a huge WIN for me and my team.

[Brandon Clarke @brandonismaj]

notion AI is a game changer

I wonder how many projects have been stalled due to poorly written and constructed emails.

Adaptability > Strategy

During times when “the law of displacement speed” kicks in, how many great ideas fail because leaders aren’t willing to make the tough decision to change strategy fast enough?

I am seeing many passionate founders and promising startups (and some larger product teams) struggle to change things up, as if such shifts in strategy are an admission of weakness rather than an indication of self-awareness and boldness. Companies are particularly proud of resilient strategies that stay consistent over time, but should consistency be the goal during a Cambrian explosion?

Playbooks cannot be sacred cows. On the contrary, they expire quickly when you’re working at the edge of what’s next. Sunk cost fallacy is a fatal blow during periods like the current platform shift to AI. I am reminded of an old leadership lesson around the difference between technical challenges and adaptive challenges. Technical challenges have a solution, you just need to change your technology. In contrast, with adaptive challenges YOU have to change. The world needs more adaptive leaders today.

Be very open to switching it up…

Strategy is another way of saying differentiation.

Work with Josh. He's dope.

After being laid off recently and some important personal time to reflect, I’m now looking for my next opportunity in design leadership.

--
For almost 20 years, I’ve been designing products and brands that have been used by hundreds of millions of people around the world. At Solana, Credit Karma, and Evernote, I’ve led teams of super talented designers, but we’ve always been focused on taking big bets and launching industry shaping products.

In the next chapter, I’m open to exploring, but here’s what I’m looking for.
-A great team with great designers.
-I’m not looking to be hands on, but certain player/coach roles may be ok.
-Industry agnostic, but AI is high on my list.
-Needs to have a strong consumer aspect.
-Needs to be ready for really big growth.
-Design needs to be mission critical for the company (i.e. If they don’t differentiate on design, they won’t win)
-Remote is great. In office in the Bay Area some is ok.

I’d love to talk to anybody that is looking to build something really special.

This stat is pretty dramatic.

What happens with all of that empty space in SF, now?

There's probably an opportunity here and someone smart will pounce on it.
