After HOURS on phone, I'm posting to express deeply grave concerns about @Google's (@madebygoogle) inability to manage unauthorized users who have ADMIN access to your #GoogleHome including security cameras, thermostats, and @googlefiber. Insane lack of support and secops.🤯@FTC

@DallasAptGP @RonWyden @JasonSmithMO @SenatorTimScott @JohnCornyn @MikeKellyPA @InnovateEconomy @MikeCrapo @CoryBooker @SenatorHick @RepDelBene @RepDrewFerguson As a fellow #Austin #Democrat, I'm at your service @RepLloydDoggett to help facilitate positive change and bring more affordability to Texans in these critical areas of healthcare and housing. Let's go!

@DallasAptGP @RonWyden @JasonSmithMO @SenatorTimScott @JohnCornyn @MikeKellyPA @InnovateEconomy @MikeCrapo @CoryBooker @SenatorHick @RepDelBene @RepDrewFerguson OZs are an exceptional incentive for investors outside of their typical retirement portfolio, while providing a meaningful impact on their local communities in a very tangible way. Big fan. The Savoy projects in #Dallas are a testament to that. 🙌

@DallasAptGP @RonWyden @JasonSmithMO @SenatorTimScott @JohnCornyn @MikeKellyPA @InnovateEconomy @MikeCrapo @CoryBooker @SenatorHick @RepDelBene @RepDrewFerguson @RepLloydDoggett Agree. @DallasAptGP I've been trying to meet with @RepLloydDoggett for months -- including multiple calls into his office -- to discuss HSAs because his constituents are struggling with rising medical costs in addition to Austin's extraordinary housing cost.

[Colin Anawaty @colin]

@RepLloydDoggett We need to chat. 80% of #HSAs account holders make under $100K/yr, and retirees on a 'medicare for all' plan are still facing $300K+ in out of pocket costs. Please show the data reflecting an average account balance is $500K+?

Actually people are tired of the tribalism.

If anyone wants proof that health tech is not for the faint of heart or quick path to success, I give you Noom. Started *17 years ago* with the first product launch in 2008.

Downgraded my @Twitter account and increased my donations to @PBS @NPR. 👋 Felicia!

[Colin Anawaty @colin]

@Delta can you please add a non-stop between ORD and AUS? 🙏 I miss my SkyClub and SkyMiles. The competition doesn't compare... 🛫❤️

[Bill Gurley @bgurley]

Great piece. Behave today with the urgency you would if you were running out of cash. I have seen that extra motor. It does exist. And Ravi is 💯 right - the extra cash many companies have does us a disservice. It causes us to relax. Big mistake. https://t.co/pvObMyhQhy

Thanks for having me on your show @lissijean and being a thoughtful coach and mentor to so many product managers. #product

[Melissa Perri @lissijean]

In this episode, I talk to @colin, the CPO of @firstdollarinc, about how he approaches #prodmgmt in complicated and highly regulated products, as well as leading product in all stages from startup to enterprise. Listen now!

[Colin Anawaty @colin]

As a customer of our own product, @firstdollarinc's new integrated and embeddable #investing experience for #HSAs is incredibly simple to use. Shout out to our partners @DriveWealth and @MorningstarInc. 🙌 https://t.co/EzMMosus6E

Some background: I took a deep dive (note: sponsored) alongside the @firstdollarinc team to understand:

• The current state of health benefits; and

• First Dollar's value prop for third party administrators, health plans, and how things are improving for the end consumer.

@haikoostudio @Google That helps but I still get results with a lot of faux-transparency.

[Colin Anawaty @colin]

Trying to search for a transparent png on @google feels like 🤬🤬🤬.

[Colin Anawaty @colin]

Looking back, my cold @LinkedIn connection inbounds consisted of:
1. Outsourcing firms of all types
2. Exec/candidate recruiters
3. Startup advisors with no ops experience
4. Shady investment funds
5. Quality sales/biz dev connections that I actually value

[Colin Anawaty @colin]

Love this thoughtful post by @msuster on #valuations forth and #startup excitement. While 0-1 is always hard, the recipe to sustain is simple: build value, manage your economics, and stay lean. You'll come out stronger. 💪 https://t.co/F696LzlWZ3

Great piece by @firstdollarinc on what it would look like if @Apple took on healthcare spend and benefits — not a bad idea… https://t.co/bFwZcoAGkm

[Colin Anawaty @colin]

Excited to see @CityofGalveston thriving. Grew up spending weekends along the strand, sometimes sleeping in our cars to surf in the am. Hotel Lucine includes a restoration of Galveston's history and offers a boutique, beach-side experience w/ amazing food. https://t.co/J2nnTcsyFS
