Talking with Maykel always sharpens and expands my thinking, and in this case, learn about myself as well.
The look back at my career has me grateful for everyone I've learned from — and that includes a lot of the folks I've supported along the way — thank you.

This week's episode: @carambula!

Aaron is one of those talented individuals who is both a great designer _and_ a fabulous leader.

We talked about his path into design, his motivations to invest his time and energy in to marketplaces for everyone, etc.

@bartonsmith I like Frank Stephenson’s YT channel. https://t.co/6XGFSX5gLz

I also like oistainlab (interviews especially) for design commentary.

@Soengle Lemme just warm my butt… aaaand we’re off the road.

@jasperhauser I worked in the art school’s computer lab and we stocked 25 of these in one all white mixed media studio. It was stunning.

@damiencorrell Congrats Damien, incredible work!

100% what Maykel says here. Further, using yourself as a benchmark is problematic in leading and supporting others.

[Maykel Loomans @miekd]

Hey leaders, especially the white / male ones —

Just because it worked for you, doesn't mean it will work for everyone. You cannot generalize your personal experience as a recipe for success.

@lungsoftheocean Sounds healthy, Ben. These networks require greater intentionality than real world networks, since they're hyperreal. I've found each network gives me different energy and I've relegated them accordingly. Good luck with the reset!

@tuhin Lol Just testing the waters, maybe you just show up at orientation and it’s a win.

'Even with many companies today pushing this “bring your whole self to work” thing, there’s still this realization that the whole self doesn’t exist for non-white people'…'others can only operate within the bounds of what keeps whiteness comfortable.' — @iThink_iDesign

@garbnzgh @BisonTrails RACI is easier to pronounce but folks never remember the difference between responsible and approved. I’d vote “day-see”. Also yes, always good to know who does what.

@alexcornell Poor Mark, always optional.

[Aaron Carámbula @carambula]

@jessicahische Yes! So rad. Took a screen grab for you when I saw. ❤️

[Aaron Carámbula @carambula]

@mattmatt @miekd @zacklara These are good. Also look for standing water. Drainage and the like. Give them no harbor. And get fly swatters, good for veeps and mosquitoes alike.

[Aaron Carámbula @carambula]

@joshm @kristinatastic @browsercompany @nateparrott Power team right there!

[Aaron Carámbula @carambula]
