DO NOT READ UNTIL YOU ARE READY

To become what you want, something in who you are must change.

Every transformation demands an exchange. Growth is never addition alone; it is also subtraction. To hold something greater, your hands must release something lesser.

The life you want requires the death of habits you keep. Every becoming requires an unbecoming. You cannot arrive somewhere new while remaining entirely the same.

What you desire waits on the other side of what you must outgrow. The future calls for a version of you that does not yet exist.

We give space to what matters. We hold space for what is becoming. We make space for what has not yet arrived.

Change is the price.
Becoming is the process.
Sacrifice is the bridge.

Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days.

It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking what they could learn from the tool to getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories.

I think the cause was that Workspace and certain leaders (and projects) were afraid of being disrupted. But the fear wasn't specific to my CLI, it was a broader fear in what agents meant for Workspace. Either way, the irony of my termination was the announcement at Google Cloud Next two days before I was fired that an official Workspace CLI was coming.

I want this out there because it is easier for me to explain my story and it is an experience I want to fully own. It's also part of my healing.

Nearly 7 years at Google was an incredible opportunity for me and I was fortunate to have wonderful teammates and a manager that fully supported me through these last few months. Thank you.

Making Stronger Men.
Men only get flowers at their funeral.
But today, we rewrite that story—while our hearts still beat and our lungs still burn with life.
To the men in this room:
You were never meant to carry the weight of the world in silence. True strength isn’t the absence of tears it’s the courage to feel deeply and show up anyway. Forge your body. Sharpen your mind. Guard your heart. Lead with quiet conviction.
The world doesn’t need more broken warriors bleeding out in the dark. It needs unbreakable men who can love fiercely, rise after every fall, and lift others even when their own backs are screaming. You are not defined by what you provide. You are defined by who you become.
So become the kind of man your sons will admire, your daughter will feel safe with, and your future self will greet with a firm handshake and a nod of respect.
To the women here:
You are the spark that calls forth stronger men. Your belief, your fire, your grace they pull the best out of us. Never shrink yourself to soothe fragile egos. Demand excellence. Offer loyalty. Stand beside a man who is actively becoming better not one waiting to be fixed.
When you honor your own strength, you invite men to rise to meet it. Together, we build something far greater than we ever could alone.
To every man and woman listening:
Stop waiting for the funeral to bring the flowers.
Give them now.
Speak hard truths wrapped in love.
Celebrate the wins while the sweat is still fresh.
Forgive faster. Hug longer.
Build each other up like tomorrow isn’t promised because it isn’t.
We don’t need perfect people. We need present ones. Men who refuse to stay weak.
Women who refuse to settle.
Families, teams, and communities that choose growth over comfort every single day.
So let’s begin
right here, right now.
Make stronger men.
Make stronger women.
And together, let’s build a world that honors the living
before the flowers ever reach the grave.
You’ve got today.
Use it.

@capo_perps @zacxbtc This should do it, since the mac settings didn’t help..

In X Space, tap your profile picture / mic icon at the bottom.

- Go to Settings / Audio settings.

- Turn off “Automatically adjust mic volume.”

- Then manually lower the mic level
