@JustinFerriman Congratulations!

[Shawn Hesketh @leftlane]

@mikemcalister Happy birthday, Mike! Hope you're celebrating well today. Sláinte!

[Shawn Hesketh @leftlane]

@mikeoliver Man, I can't tell you how happy that makes me. It's such a gift to find the type of work you're wired for, and it sounds like you're right where you need to be. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Alignment Quiz, too!

[Shawn Hesketh @leftlane]

@IndyCarOnFOX Please, please tell me Chris Meyers and Danica Patrick are not your broadcast team for race day. That would be a massive disappointment.

[Shawn Hesketh @leftlane]

For years, I couldn't have told you what energized me at work. The days just blurred together… until I burned out.

That's why I built the Alignment Quiz. It shows how aligned your work is with how you're wired.

Ollie AI is here!

We're doing things a little different (as usual). Instead of a bulky AI thing that aims to do everything, we're taking a more measured approach by layering AI into the features you already love.

High-caliber design 🤝 AI superpowers

The most expensive sentence in your business might be: “I can do that, too.”

As a founder, I wore too many hats for more than two decades. I didn't see what it was really costing me... until I burned out. One question could have prevented that:

Dangit, Mike. I just added one to my site yesterday to give it a slightly lower visual priority.

My good friend and big brain @kathyzant is hosting a webinar on security and AI for small businesses. "Small Business Security in the Age of AI" is on March 12th at 1pm EST. Don't miss it, you can register at https://t.co/wM0nFEe1l6

[Shawn Hesketh @leftlane]

Happy birthday to the one and only @kathyzant! If you know her, I don’t have to tell you how brilliant, caring, and inspiring she is. If you don’t know her yet, you should follow her right now. She’s the real deal. Hope you’re feeling well-loved, admired, and celebrated today, Kathy!

[Shawn Hesketh @leftlane]

Well, that was one of the most exhilarating and terrifying things I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable. Way to go, @AlexHonnold!

These first few days of the New Year are when most people look to tap into that extra burst of #motivation — only to watch it fade by February.

But what if I told you that true motivation is not just some temporary feeling that comes and goes on a whim? Your motivations are hard-wired and ever-present anytime you need them.

Want different results? Identify your unique motivational DNA. Here's how... https://t.co/XEE5S8G2sa

Hey friends, I've got a little gift for you.

If you're seeing this, I want you to take the MCode today... for free.

Why?

Because I believe it’ll help you understand what makes you tick—why certain activities light you up while others completely drain you.

You’ll find the threads that have run through every meaningful moment in your life—so you can do more of what energizes you and less of what doesn’t.

I know. You've taken assessments before. Here's the thing...

Most assessments only reveal your personality traits or even your strengths. They don't tell you WHY.

MCode goes much deeper—it uncovers your unique motivational pattern that creates satisfaction, purpose, and meaning.

Then it gives you a roadmap to align your work, relationships, and goals with what energizes you most.

If you...

• feel like your work is burning you out,
• need more purpose and energy in your work or relationships,
• want to understand what motivates you in a clear, confident way,
• or simply need language for what makes you tick...

Here's your invite to take the MCode—on me!
