Category design + evangelism + community = I care about what you're building or GTFO.

Owners burned before try to approve everything. The issue usually isn't process - it's trust.
Predictable updates + quick responses → micromanagement fades, decisions speed up.

Happy birthday @ConnectwPablo How to put into words just how magical it is to know you… so I thought why not just give photographic evidence to support 😆

From Vegas penthouse suites, to watching the greatest awakening of self confidence and expression (aka watching you do kareoke), your presence is one I enjoy with all my heart.

Thank you for being a force for good in my life. Your strategic mind in marketing is unparalleled. Your ability to connect with vulnerability and authenticity is infectious. The way you articulate your human experience always has me enjoy your company.

Watching you evolve and progress over the last few years has been such a gift, I’m grateful to have been a spectator in your adventure.

Happy birthday my friend. May your day be filled with joy and wonder, like the gift you give this world.

@SMB_Attorney Real estate is a local game so you may have some comps selling at a discount but there is no data to support national home prices are going down.

“The stranger your tastes seem to other people, the stronger evidence they probably are what you should do.”

I.E.- what feels like fun to you, but work for others is where you will find your life’s work.

For me, it’s been finding the value in others.

A new email app, and the only differentiator is that the second I type “u” to start my reply, it autopopulates “unsubscribe” and sends.

@pslohmann My favorite source of social life in adulthood has come from picking 1-3 causes to get involved in, join a committee, graduate to the board, and you'll always have an event you're invited to or something to invite people to that have high level people

@pslohmann When I get home from a conference, I need to sleep in a separate room for 2 days because I'm like a crackhead who can't sleep off the adrenaline...

Steve Jobs: Enable small groups of smart people and good things will happen.

“Steve understood and appreciated the creative process—which, in certain ways, is the relative absence of process.

His experience with Apple, Pixar, and Disney gave him a perspective many CEOS will never have.

He got how ideas needed to be nurtured and protected.

He knew that machine like analysis would not magically yield creative brilliance.

He knew that if he enabled small groups of smart people, good things would happen—even if those results weren't entirely predictable.”

Real leadership is the obsession over aligned objectives.

@Yuri_Ravens This over indexes for athleticism and arm strength. Would be interesting to see a “lose because of” tier that optimizes for decision making, accuracy, and pre snap reads… aka. not turning the ball over
