Optimist, work life ambitious, founder @Storyworth 🇸🇪🇺🇸

I've started calling it Work Life Ambition.

The idea that you can be ambitious in both your work and your personal life.

They can support and augment each other, rather than one coming at the expense of the other.

We want to build quality. I don’t believe it comes from endless death march. So people should have some time off as well.

I don’t think it has slowed us down, probably the opposite (you can look at the changelog the past 5years). Good tech, hiring well, small teams and not changing the direction every 5mins also helps.

Remote advantage is that also focuses people on the output, not hanging at the office late or going to motions that don’t produce much.

@jamesjyu I hope Shanghai Dumpling King is still around! The exception that confirms the rule.

@simonsarris Our son loved his Baby Björn, we have some great videos of him just bouncing and giggling.

@jaredhecht @retrodotapp and @Storyworth 🫡

@thesamparr With that said, it’s also possible to be successful driven by curiosity and passion!

(@davekashen describes it as dirty fuel vs clean fuel.)

Also shoutout to @KellyOlynyk, who made the meetup possible in the first place, and Lindy Waters III who came over to chat. Grateful to all of them as well as the @chicagobulls organization for making my son’s dreams come true (this happened in Chicago).

[Nick Baum @nickbaum]

Last November my son got a chance to stick around after a game for his 10th birthday (thanks @David_Gardner), and @JulianChampagn2 made a point to come over for a picture. I’m so glad to see him earn this opportunity. Go @spurs!

"I thought it was over. I ain't gonna lie to you. Getting waived with no warning, no nothing, explanation or anything, it was tough. Big, big shout out to the San Antonio Spurs taking an opportunity to a kid from Brooklyn"

@griswold Gotta be A

@herrmanndigital I’d say fair game at that point. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[Nick Baum @nickbaum]

@arram Awesome, thanks for the rec!

[Arram @arram]

Did the meme. I’m Sam Seaborn.

[Nick Baum @nickbaum]

@arram I was looking for a summer sailing read!

[Nick Baum @nickbaum]

@arram I mean also, I haven’t watched The West Wing, but this Sam Seaborn fellow seems pretty great too!

[Nick Baum @nickbaum]

@arram Ooh I like that though, might need to try that myself!

[Nick Baum @nickbaum]

@arram 😂 hey look man, you need to bring that up with your friend Claude.

@tjparker A friend had a theory of alternate apple devices:

Watch + iPad + iMac

Or

iPhone + MacBook
